UW-F Decoy Auction No. 5 - A mini rig of coots

[Hitch]

This time up for auction is a mini rig of coot decoys, all carved and painted by Florida artists. The 2 decoys in the back were carved and painted by Ron Smith and come donated out of the Hitchcock collection. Then there is the the unique and simple, very folky coot carved, painted and donated fresh by Derek Bendell. Thanks Derek for your generosity...

We'll start with a minimum bid of $50, and minimum raise of $5. The auction for the Coot mini rig will run from now through Wednesday, June 12th - 9pm Eastern. UW-F Public Forum members bid by posting a reply here, or if you are a non-member; you can email your bid to hitchco@bellsouth.net You can sign up for a free account to our public forum as well and bid. It's quick and easy!

We'll continue with a last call option wherein if a bid is placed in the last 5 minutes of prescribed bidding timeframe; bidding will continue and be extended an additional 5 minutes from the time the last bid posts. This will be repeated for any counter bids until a period of 5 minutes passes without a bid. Decoy will ship from UW-F once confirmation of payment is received. You can pay by credit card or by check. Winner will be notified by email on how to pay.
