Tony & Fido

Tony Kelly has arrived in Duesseldorf and is alive and well! That is all we know at this point. Look for future posts by the man himself...

Good to see the bidding heating up! Don't forget to pass this site on to your friends and check back: I've added stuff to the original list. Also check the COMMENTS on the T&K Bay post to see who has claimed what.

Does anyone want to take over my CITY FIDO CELL PHONE PLAN? THERE IS NO CONTRACT. I don't need to pass it on because I have a commitment to fulfill; it is simply a good deal that Fido is no longer offering. They will honour these accounts and change the name over for free, but you can't get a new cityfido deal anymore.

SO: $45 per month for unlimited calling anytime from Bowen Island to Hope: no minutes to count. I also pay about $5 for voice mail and a $7 service fee, plus tax and whatever long distance I do. It's more expensive than a land line, but cheaper than a land line and a cell phone. If you're intersted, please let me know ASAP. The phone is available on July 12.

T&KBay

Hey y'all!

In our preparations for mass exodus from Vancouver, we are creating an online listing of stuff we need to get rid of. We're sharing this site with friends, family, coworkers, Kate's choir and anyone who wants any stuff; please pass the link on to your friends if you think they'd want anything.

Here's how it works:
1 - check through the list and locate something you just can't live without.
2 - post a comment to claim your item(s). if you don't want to open your own account, use our guest id and password: both are tonynkateguest. don't forget to add your name at the bottom of the text.
3 - pick up your item from Kate at our house.

Prices:
- Bidding for all items starts at CAD 0.01 (except for the two futons - $50 each.)
- ALL OFFERS ACCEPTED.
- In the event that two people want the same item... how BAD do you want it??!? The highest bidder will take the item!
