    G'day Stackers,

    We've had the 10oz, the 5oz and the 1oz battles, let's bring the Big Fellas out now :)

    On offer here are a couple of VERY collectible Harrington 50oz Silver bars (these are 1980s vintage :eek:)

    One slightly overweight (50.20oz), serial# 806, with very sexy pour lines :D the other, counter-stamped with DCL, serial# 001505, and also stamped 1981 :cool: Both bars have strong Harrington stamps.

    Auction finish at 17:00 AWST (18:30 NT/19:00 QLD/19:30 SA/20:00 NSW/VIC) - This Sunday!! (13th March) :D

    Unfortunately I'll be travelling at this time (heading back from our lovely Margaret River region) so won't be able to "mediate" the finish :( but the auction will finish 5 minutes after the last bids :cool:

    *No edited Bids, please :) the Forum does indicate "edited" when posts are edited (look above the "Quote Reply" right hand side) so if you make a bid and it turns out the same or lower than a previous bid please place a new post for the bid to make it higher rather than "edit" the post with the unsuccessful bid - although editing to clarify a Lot # is fine :oops: *

    Due to no "seconds" showing on Forum time-clock :rolleyes: any duplicate bids with the same timestamp will be "first in line" gets the spot ;)

    Starting at $1750ea - UNDER SPOT price!!! :eek:

    Postage at Winner's Choice/Cost/Risk (at this stage...)

    Settlement via Bank Transfer/Cash/Crypto :D

    And without further ado, on to the Auction...

    Lot 1 - #806 50.20oz Harrington Silver Bar

    Lot 2 - #001505 50oz Harington Silver Bar

    Thanks for looking :cool:

    Both bars still under spot (only just :p), some cheap, historical, collectible bars up for grabs :D

    Still some cheap big, beautiful classic 80s bars on offer here ;)
