    G'day Stackers,

    We've had the 10oz, the 5oz and the 1oz battles, let's bring the Big Fellas out (again ;))

    On offer here are a couple of VERY collectible Harrington 50oz Silver bars with DCL Counterstamp (Darling Commodities Pty Ltd). These are 1980s vintage (maybe even late 70s o_O) and there are less than 250 of these bad boys in existence :eek: Source - All Engelhard

    One is a smooth(ish) finish and the other is swirly (has some great pour lines :cool: some one decided it's so good that it is "Super" :p)

    Auction finish at 17:00 AWST (18:30 NT & SA/19:00 QLD/NSW/VIC) - This Sunday!! (21st August) :D

    Unfortunately I'll be at work at this time (doing handover from dayshift :rolleyes:) so won't be able to "mediate" the finish :( but the auction will finish 5 minutes after the last bids, as usual, and everybody knows how that goes by now ;) (just to clarify...any bids within the last 5 minutes extends the finish time by 5 minutes...ie a 16:57 bid gives a new finish time of 17:02...a further bid at 17:02 extends the finish to 17:07...a bid at 17:07 extends, a bid at 17:08 is too late :oops: etc etc...)

    *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 $1425ea - SPOT price!!! :eek:
    (the previous auction saw the start price as $1750, which was actually under Spot price at the time o_O)

    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 - 50oz Harrington Silver bar with a DCL counterstamp and smooth(ish) finish :)

    Lot 2 - 50oz Harrington Silver Bar with a DCL Counterstamp and sexy pour lines
