Hi Bob, thanks for your suggestion. However as the auction does not actually start until the night of 1 June, all commission bids received on-line are kept totally secret. I am the only one who knows what they are and even our auctioneer does not know until the night of the auction. However if someone has made a bid on the internet and another bid does comes in on the same item which equals or is higher, I will e-mail the first bidder to see if they wish to increase their maximum bid (a bit like e-bay but I will not say what the higher bid is). We will then start the bidding on the night at whatever the higher of the 2 commission bids is - again it does not necessarily mean that it will be the on-line bidders maximum bid. Whatever then happens on the night is down to the generosity of the crowd.

We had a man come up to us at the Spring Fair today. He is kindly pledging a brand new set of Peter Alliss golf clubs in a carrying case and boxed. They are thought to be worth about £300. These are presently located in UK but they could be bought out to Turkey if the winning bid come from there. We are due to be e-mailed full details of the set and piccies later this week so keep an eye out on the main auction list at the top of this thread

The new golf clubs are now added to the list - take a look at the details and the photo.

There are only 7 days left to make your online bids.

Online bids will be accepted up to 12 midnight Turkish time (10.00 pm English time) on the night of Tuesday 31 May then this facility will close. If you miss this deadline and want to bid on something you will have to attend the auction

The hamper which was raffled at the charity beach BBQ tonight was won by the forum's own Sunlover Carole Bacon. Carole and her husband Dave have generously donated the hamper back to the committee to auction at the forthcoming Promises Auction - a huge thanks to Carole and Dave.

The hamper includes a 1 ltr bottle of Grants whiskey and Ex-pat items including tinned ham and Cadbury's cream eggs! A picture of the hamper and a full list of the contents will be posted tomorrow.
