I have Doug's permission to try this, so here goes...

I'd like to auction off one of my Arc AA LED flashlights to benefit ETS (and indirectly, Chris). Auction to be held on the forum, proceeds to go directly (literally) to ETS.

• Auction starts now. Ends 23:00 (11:00 pm) Eastern Daylight Time (GMT - 4) August 12, 2005.
• Bids are to be posted to this thread, timestamp on posts (corrected to my time zone) decide the winner. In the event of a tie, I'll go through a mysterious process involving pseudorandom number generators and a couple of lines of an Elder Language (ok, Perl, but still...)
• Winner writes a check to ETS, mails to Doug as per the instructions in the Chris' Computer thread. When Doug tells me he received the check, I'll FedEx the light directly to the winner. I pay shipping. I'm sorry, y'all, but this is U.S. only... I don't want to try to figure out how to ship a package internationally.
• I think the light was $40 new, so bidding starts there.

Good luck!

(I'll post a better description of the light and pics tomorrow. But if you know what an Arc AAA is, the AA is just like it, but takes an AA instead of an AAA.)
