Open bidding

Opening bid

$
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.

What's it worth?

Taking a squint at it...

An estimate from the photos and description, not an appraisal and not a reserve. Bid what it is worth to you; the sea sets no prices and neither do we.

Description

A silver Airstream sits in deep snow under birch trees, with a lakeside town and hills behind. Two people in patterned ski sweaters bend over their skis at the trailer door while a red sedan waits alongside. Caption: “Airstream – The Better Way to Travel.”

Bright winter blues and that red car carry the whole card. Colder than Lake Shore Drive in January, and somehow cozier.

The back is the same on every card in this set: a boxed “AIRSTREAM POSTCARD” heading, a place-stamp box, address lines, and the credit “© 2000 Airstream, Inc., from AIRSTREAM, published by Chronicle Books”. Blank, never written on. The back photo is shared across the series.
