How High Will it Go?

OK, let's have another ebay "How High Hill it Go?" contest!

I have a 20136 Pumpkin (no face) marked Portugal, Wallace Berrie, and with a mustard (Portugal) paint dot!

Here's a bit of trivia re: mustard Paint Dots - PortugalPaint is always Matte. Suzanne Lipschitz of the SCCI kept her Portugal Paint dots displayed together, and this really makes it obvious - they have a finish not unlike bisque porcelain - gather yours together, and you will observe this too.

So I always thought of the Portugal paint as being a bit "special!"

Well, I'll shoot Gary an e-mail - he mentioned recently he was trolling eBay looking for a good contest candidate - I'll let him come back and report the auction we'll be watching!!

Hobbes: Don't you think that's a pretty silly and irresponsible way to live?

Calvin: What a pretty afternoon...

Talking Re: How High Will it Go? - IT STARTS

OK here is the contest - HOW HIGH WILL IT GO!?

Rules - look at the auction and guess how high the auction will go. Winning guess must be as close as possible WITHOUT going over the winning bid of the auction and the guess must be made in USdollars. ONLY registered forum members are eligible to play!! Guessing ends the day BEFORE the action ends. (*** if all guesses are over the final bid amount, the closest to the final bid is the winner)

Prize - a 20136 Pumpkin (no face) marked Portugal, Wallace Berrie, and with a mustard (Portugal) paint dot!

Contest ends Jan-23-06 18:02:30 PST

Re: How High Will it Go?

Thinking about bidding on these ones myself, be a nice kick to my collection...

So I'm going to sit back and watch, and put my guess in later...

It will be good to have a look at the guesses everyone puts in and might give me some inside information on how much I could be looking at...

Re: How High Will it Go?

Neat auction - I was about to pass it off as a typical lot of older Smurfs when I spotted the orange surprise bag hidden in there! This could go pretty high because of him...

Re: How High Will it Go?

Since you had to bid by yesterday, and couldn't go over, does that mean you win your own contest? RIGGED! ;)
