Timely auction: Moyes Mission 170

At the big party Saturday, a Moyes Mission was auctioned by the SHGA.
I thought for sure the bidding would go to $1000 or more. One bidder at $400 took possession. I want the SHGA to get a bit more than my $400, so I am putting the glider up for bid; if you bid highest in this next two days closing at my email midnight Tuesday, then the glider will be yours; you would write two checks, one to me for $400. and the overage above that to SHGA.
I care not to profit off this at all. Send your bid to joefaust333@gmail.com and I will tell the highest bidder by Wednesday morning. You would take possession of the glider at the LZ upon settling. Andy Beem last flew it and he gave positive comments Saturday about the glider.
There were two that talked to me after the bidding Saturday. I do not have your names.
Minimum bid is $400. But be sure to beat the top bidder by taking a risk. You will not be told what others are bidding. Just one blind offer. If you are the only one and happen to bid at $400. then it will be yours.
Note: All over $400 will go directly to the SHGA.
