Name the most you'd pay. We bid for you, just enough to stay in front, like eBay. Nobody sees your max, not even Captain Nemo.

How the bidding works (the short version of the Articles)
  • The first bid starts a 7-day clock. When it hits zero, the top bidder wins.
  • Enter your max. The price only climbs as far as needed to keep you in front, so you may win for less.
  • Each bid has to beat the price by a small step. Ties go to whoever bid first.
  • Some pieces carry a reserve, a minimum price kept secret. If bidding ends below it, the piece doesn't sell. The box tells you if it's met.
  • A bid in the last 5 minutes resets the clock to 5 minutes. No sniping.
  • Win, and we email a pay link. You have 3 days to pay. Pickup is at the South Loop dock.
  • A bid is a promise to buy. Please bid only if you mean it.

Taking a squint at it...

Description

A two-sided menu from The Duck Inn, Bridgeport, Chicago, styled as a movie poster. The front: a figure in a boater hat in orange silhouette, a cowboy at the end of a railroad track, and “Once a Pasta Night at The Duck, a Chef Parker Masterpiece.” The credits: a weekly rotating selection of pasta dishes served every Wednesday, directed by Collin Parker, assistant director Alec Rodriguez, executive producer Kevin Hickey, truffles provided by Giacomo Marinello.

The back is the bill of fare in orange, green and black western cut-outs: Lobster Bucatini ($45), Huitlacoche Gnocchi ($24), Octopus Bolognese ($35), Garlic Knots ($12) and Ricotta Polenta Cake ($10), set among horses, cowboy boots, film reels, clapperboards and a sheriff’s star. Clean, flat and bright. A souvenir from a neighborhood tavern a few blocks off the South Branch.
