It seemed like a good idea when I thought of it. Ya'll got me running scared, but I think I'm going to soldier on and give it a try. I've been saving up some money, so I have a small SAK fund that should cover this experiment.I just hope there are nice options to buy when the time comes.
I will also be watching this from a safe distance!
Meanwhile, I will wait until the participants start selling their "spending spree" goodies during their "March 2019 in dire need of cash challenge" .
I might be able to buy 28 toothpicks

And oh, the horror if you lost an auction... on Feb 27!
I will start this challenge on the 1st of February. I've had some time to think about this and I'm not sure how many consecutive days it will go as I want to be sure I find a suitable candidate each day for purchase and not just buy anything to keep the challenge going.I will look in earnest each day and it would be great if 28 items catch my eye (it could happen).
So what if you find a couple of good buys in one day, would they count as a wild card for a no buy day? That would seem fair.
...or make it even harder: One knife needs to show up on every day the US mail is delivered!
