That’s right, we’re starting out with a big one. Up for auction are two, round-trip, Southwest Airline ticket vouchers. They can be used to fly anywhere Southwest Airlines flies in the Continental United States. There are no blackout dates on these vouchers, the only real restriction is that they must be used by June 30, 2013.
Special thanks to prize donor Southwest Airlines and DISDad James Goodman a/k/a @swabikedude on Twitter.
This auction will close on Sunday, October 21 at 10:00 p.m. Central Time.
Reminders: To bid, just post your bid amount as a comment to this post. The detailed rules are listed here.
OK, I’ll get the ball rolling with a bid of $100.

This is a great item to kick the auction with. I’ll go $150.
I’ll go $175 (and I’ll go much higher if James can get Southwest to start flying to YEG!)

$325 I have no idea what increment we are supposed to bid in.
Ok I’ll drop a bombshell $400.00
Ryan – you can bid in any increment you wish. It can be $1 more than the last guy, or you can pull a Philip and try to scare away the competition with a big jump. 🙂
Ahhh man, you gave away my leverage haha
$456.78
I may have to think about if I’m going to go any higher on this one till 9:59pm on Sunday
I would caution you against cutting it too close. As the rules say – official time is server time. I cannot guarantee perfection, and any comments after the auction close will be deleted and comments will be closed as of 10:00 p.m. server time.
475.00
