Well hey, this sounds wonderful!!  Hmm...I'm going to have
 to come up with a good amount; I'd love to try this!

Where in West Virginia is this farm located?

#3 of 15 by omni on Wed May 15 15:55:44 1996:

 near Beckley, and Hinton. More closer to Hinton.

#4 of 15 by denise on Wed May 15 17:24:02 1996:

I've passed through Beckley on 77 on my way north to MI...

Anyway, I'm surprised no one has bid on this yet... I may be
interested but haven't a clue as to where to start bidding at!

Well, I would say, since I own the farm and it is the current sight of
grexstock 96, that bidding should start at somewhere around $50.  This is for
a whole week with food included.  There are many trails to hike, wildflowers
to find, meadows to wander and etc.  Not to mention all the really neat things
to do within a very short distance.  Then there is the New River, which,
together with the Gauley River offers some of the best whitewater rafting
(class I through V and VI) on the east coast.  There are also places where
one can meander along on an innertube.  But this is just MHO.

Frieda--yep, I agree, that $50 sounds like it should be a minimal bid...
Before I bid, though... I do need to find out, is this a cat-free 
environment?? I'm very allergic to the feline creatures.

We have two cats who live outdoors...not inside...inside is a cat free space!
Bid away!

 I survived 3 weeks and I am highly allergic to feline types. I did get a
cold, though ;)

Ok, I'll start the bidding at $60.

#10 of 15 by robh on Fri May 24 13:23:28 1996:

The current bid is $60 from denise, which will become official
tomorrow.  Last chance, everyone!

Shhhhh, Rob! :-)

#12 of 15 by robh on Sat May 25 04:02:57 1996:

Sorry, it's in the rules:  Grex has to make as much money
as possible from the auction, so we have to encourage people
to outbid denise.  >8)

I know that, Rob!!  [That's why the smiley was there...]

OK, the bidding is closed, the item is SOLD to denise
for $60.  Congratulations!
