Shame that such a great thread was marred by a few comments,
Apparently someone lost sight of the reason we are all doing this.
This thread will be locked soon I imagine, its been a great run!

No I don't mind! You are 100% correct, I should have thanked everyone for a job well done.
Thank you everyone for a job well done and for coming together for such a great cause.

You shouldn't live in the middle of nowhere, big Guy. I know because as you know I know where PV is. I think the AO Pony Express would be faster than Canada Post. I can throw a letter in the Post Office at 7AM and the vehicle going south to Calgary picks it up at 2;30 PM. If the roads are bad who knows. Then it gets sorted at the hub then on to ED for further sorting. After Ed maybe Lloyd then onto you. Voila, you should get a cheque by Fri. Lets get a pool going for charity and I'm not in.

That seems odd. I think my first purchase was 4 days and you had the cheque. I'm pretty sure the wife mailed the second check early last week. I'll ask the wise one when I get home.

I am sorry guys, been running non stop and only get to check the thread when I get a chance on the phone.
Getting 30-50 PM's daily asking 'did I win, how much time is left, was my thing claimed, do I still have credits left and so on' may not get answered daily, as I have to do the same as you, go back and look.
I just go back to the day the auction started, then go through and see who the top bidder is. I am hoping some of you can do this as well, if not please accept my apologies and I will update when I can.
The PIF thread is over.
The Last auction ends tonight.
Again, thank you for being patient, for giving and for playing along. Wonderful success this year, if everyone pays.
