[Yoda]

Can I bid again to raise my old bid, bigval?

[bigvalbowski]

I don't see why not.

[Yoda]

$73 million for Potter. I'm gonna muscle my way into this one. :D

[spudracer]

And theres no way you can go over what you have is there?

[Yoda]

No, no one else has $74 million, so I'm "safe." I think that means I'm guaranteed the movie...which likely won't make all that back right away, but it'll make it back and then some in two weeks time. :) But I'll be somewhat depleted for the weekend after this coming one.

[spudracer]

Well thats a suck...10 million on the wash...

[bigvalbowski]

Time's not up yet but nobody can bid for any more movies so let's close up shop.

Harry Potter and the Philospher's Stone - TWTCommish - $73m

The Wash - spudracer - $10m


See you next week.
