Al Keppler "Signature Series" Stick

[Smoke]

OK, ever the philanthropist I have decided to help out this budding entrepreneur.

So here is the deal, since I won the bid, I have had the person relist the item as the Al Keppler "Signature Series" Stick, which will come with all the stuff as before including the glitter I asked for, but here is the catch.... He doesn't know what I am doing here.

To entice all of you to give this guy a break, Al is throwing in two pots. whoever wins this bid of the stick will Pm me their adress and I will send these two pots free of charge and at my expense for shipping. All you guys have to do is bid that stick up.

No reserve, I'm just a generous guy and like to have fun.

The first pot is a Sara Raynor drum pot. It is 4 3/4 inches across and 1 inch deep. Nice wavy green glaze that only Sara does. This would make an excellent shohin pot or a great pot for that serious accent.

The second pot is a Tokoname pot from Stone Lantern about 12 years ago. It is also 4 3/4 inches across and about 1 3/4 inches deep.

I have about $55.00 in the two pots. Buy the stick and win the pots too.

Happy bidding, Al Keppler

I have no clue who this guy is...but I bet he is crapping peach pits right now trying to figure out how I got people to bid 47.00 for a stick.

I told him I was a promotions guy and he would have to just "trust me".

Good thing I am not Italian. Al the "body bag" Corleone may have scared him off!

 

[Smoke]

I just hope he don't ask me to promote his balls?

Next up for auction, pink thongs...
good on you, very funny.

 

[bonsai barry]

Devious mind, Al! Your friend is probably freaking out.

 

[MrFancyPlants]

I was going to plant the stick in one of the pots so that it would match the rest of my collection.. Alas, slightly out of my price range now.

 

[Redwood Ryan]

Wow just saw this thread; people like you restore my faith in humanity.

 

[Jason_mazzy]

I bet if you would be willing to trade out a pot for a larger one we can get this number even higher

 

[Smoke]
