Lance and I, between us have 4 (possibly 5) brand new quarts of KTM-9 -- never opened. We are auctioning these off here to a good home and somewhere they will be used.

This is a dutch auction (we will take the top 4 bids). The auction closes Friday @ noon, with the usual Going, GOING. GONE!!



Good luck.

I'll start it off. How about $15.00 bucks. I've always wanted to try it but was scared away after so many seemed to turn on it over the last 2 months.

Cheers!

John

I'll take one at $25. It's the clear gloss right? Not the satin?

Wow..

what are the Lot #s at the bottom of the labels?

Here is the way our #s work.

Example:

KTM-9 Satin from 05/03/05
50502/1028-104H

50502 = year/month/day - 2005, May, 02 - this is the one important to the products date of production.

as for the other digits, they tell us as a manufacturer where certain raw material came from.

This ends today @ noon.

I don't know if Lance will be around to end it or not, so this might be on auto pilot.

And... as a note...

It turns out we only have 4 quarts of this, not 5. One has been opened.

So we will take the top 4 bidders.

:-)

Auction Over? I'm not as concerned about expiration dates as some. I'll have a quart please, even pay $32 for it if that's what it takes.

As I read these posts here were the top 4 bids

Joe Beaver $32
Peter M $32
Wayne C $32
Mattia $16

Due to the extra packing and care these have to have shipping will be $7... Mattia, we will just send you a note with your actual shipping charges after we take them to the post office.

You can pay pal the cash to lance@luthiersforum.com

Thanks again. :-)Brock Poling38796.4599421296
