Auction Auction!!! Red Hot!!!First Coast Discus

[brewmaster15]

Hi all,

Its been a while since we have done an auction for Simply and I am really happy to post this one now. Ryan Smith (aka former SimplyDiscus Webmaster Extraordinaire) and his company First Coast Discus have offered us some seriously beautiful discus. We have a set of 4 each 5 " RSG Discus from Ricky Lim.!!!! Thats right! They are a really beautiful group of fish! But why take it from me... judge yourself! These fish are really Nice. They are about 5 Inches SL (Standard Length--which is nose to caudal peduncle)!!

I want to raise the bar a little bit here. These are very, very nice fish and the free shipping adds $100-$150 of value to the auction. But the purpose is not just for one person to get these nice fish; the purpose is to raise money for simply. I'm going to bid ONCE more, mostly because I don't realistically have a tank for these guys (though I can slap one up in a hurry if I got really lucky). My bid comes with a pledge, and I want to see if anyone else will do this:

I'm bidding $725. I seriously don't think that's enough to win this auction, so I'm also pledging to donate 10% of that bid if I don't win. So Simply will get $72.50 out of me regardless. Are any of the previous bidders or future bidders willing to do the same?
