[QUOTE="Andy, post: 250600, member: 5096"] I know they would not have held us to that amount. However, it does pretty much put a halt to the real bidding and they would have lost money since the bidding would have been stopped at our last bid. Although I thought it was funny, I didn't want J to know that it was o.k. I figured if he really thought that we had to pay the $1,000 it would be easier for him to understand what was happening. It really was an innocent mistake on his end. difficult child went home with husband carrying the items we did "win". I gave him the money to pay for the items. One was a very large basket full of Hot Wheel cars. He came back in the school about 1/2 hour later asking for more money. He had forgotten to pay for his cars - the bid sheet was still tapped to the bag. difficult child got the one item he really wanted (basket of cars). I got an adult 3 month membership to the YMCA (less than one mile away through the cul-de-sac), a basket with caramels, book, and snowman, a bowling for 4 and pizza. husband got $50 off a pair of glasses. I will give the membership to difficult child so he can go this summer. He has a friend whose Dad works at the YMCA so I think the boys can meet there a few times each week this summer. Diva asked how he would get to the YMCA. difficult child replied, "I have my ways". I explained, "It has something to do with a white jeep and an 18 yr old DIVA." Actually, I would let difficult child ride bike if he called when he left home and called when he got there. difficult child's caramel rolls went for $10 (9 X 13 pan). I found out who bought them - one of my Sunday School kids. I'll ask him next week if they were good. [/QUOTE]
