        Gosh are we here again  8-)

        As the custodian of the item that started this all off I offer gardianship of the following items.

        Following years of exhaustive research by Dennis Wells of Cuppacoffee fame (well minutes really), he set up an experiment to make instant coffee that you can read about in the following thread.

        http://coffeesnobs.com.au/YaBB.pl?num=1221784243


        You are bidding for:

        1.  Approximately 2 rounded teaspoons of home made 100% Arabica instant coffee that has been dehydrated from Cold Press.  The coffee is appropriately presented in a test tube with a cork cap, though I noted this morning that it has clumped a little - nothing a little hot water cant fix.  Ill post a pic this evening.

        2.  A certificate of authenticity that also vests you with the Gardianship of all the intellectual property relating to the making of this instant coffee.

        And as the instant may now be beyond its optimum use by date and it would be a shame to consume Denniss hard work I will add to my post packet a Bag Of fresh roasted Aussie MTE Bin 478 to make up for it

                        That instant coffee on its own is worth more than the highest bid so far.

                        Ill throw in a limited edition AO Size (841 × 1189) poster of the person that inspired cuppacoffee, my Mum. Photo taken 71 years ago in a coffee/tea merchant in Egypt and will also be hanging over the cuppacoffee shopfront fireplace.....

                          I think Ghostwhowalks offered nearly $200 for the instant alone after the last Auction, not that he got it

                          Nice work of the new premises too Dennis, moving shops is a painful process.

                            I can only wish, AM...damnit, still another two weeks to go - maybe some great site sponsor will start another Instant Auction and take the focus off this one so that it wont go up any further???

                            8-)

                            Oh well, a girls gotta try (and, believe me, the husband reckons Im very trying)!

                              Im going to be very naughty and bump this and try and put some more focus on it.

                              Its currently sitting well and truly under what its worth, so theres got to be some more bidding going on and theres only 6 days to go on it!

                              Its for a great cause, as you all know and Im happy to lose if it means more money goes into the FairCrack Fund!

                              Cheers
