Moโ€™ Men-Ho 3

Last time I checked, we were so close to the $30,000 mark, I couldnโ€™t stand it anymore, here at Menu For Hope III European-central. Frankly, the thought that there are some of you out there that havenโ€™t bid on anything was driving me nuts. So what are you waiting for? But even if you have already bid on something, letโ€™s double the amount we madeโ€ฆ
