*DING DING!*

Two more bids are in...and two freezes with them. Top bid is $885. Anybody want to go to $905 or higher?

[Host note: the totalisator is not limited to displaying seven bids, and will magically expand to reflect the number of bidders.]

Up to $949. Who dares to go higher than that?

And tpiradam takes the lead back!

Another raise and we'll be into the four figure range.
