I tried bidding on the 49 1oz silver bars but got to rich for me. They sold for $1600.00.

$32/oz!?!?

Why pay a Madoff premium? I just don't understand people sometimes...

Not sure why someone would pay a premium on these bars but he/she did. I had my limit and when that got poofed I stepped away. I can buy brand new silver bars for less.

Jeez.  I did not hear anything of this auction until a good friend, who is currently
working in Korea, asked me if I had won anything!  Huh?

Well, he sent the link to me and I registered with them for the next segment of ole
Bernie's things.  It's coming on the 6th of Dec, if I recall correctly.  Lately, my
memory sucks, so should anyone want to look at the next offerings, better
double check the date!  

And good luck.  I'm hoping that his second rate golf tools will list with this next
auction.  I need a good number 4 wood.

LOL...

Really is that a pedigree that one would really want to have a connection to, never mind pay a premium?

You wouldn't believe some of the stuff that people bought. I guess some folks have money to throw away. I was going after the silver bars but gave up when the bidding got out of hand.
