Apple Eaters Sticker Auction - Ramslammers!

While doing a little research, I learned our Down-Under Silhouetters from Tasmania are called Apple Eaters. One such bloke affectionately known as Juddy (aka "Ramslammer" the National Chairman for Silhouette in Australia) was more than kind enough to send us a few of their stickers which we thought would be cool to auction off in an effort to buy more of our stickers for the next wave!
Here's a little background on the Ramslammer Stickers, "They are probably collector pieces now, as I had them made for the "Ramslammers" 4 years ago. The origin of our group was myself and some blokes were lined up to shoot Rams and I said 2 dollars in and who gets the most takes the cash, two of our other mates were in the next detail so they did the same. It kind of snowballed from there, we only take in a max of two members a year but now if everybody turns up a bank of rams can be worth over 30 dollars. If there's a tie the money goes into club funds and that's what pays for kids shirts, etc."
He also invites every down for a shoot, "Possibly the best shoot for any of you blokes to attend would be next Jan in Canberra (our nation's capital), with practice days and the Ramslammers novelty shoot there is 8 days of Silhouette. It will be the Inaugural "Cowboy" Nationals, followed by the Early Australia Day matches (80 Smallbore, 40 Air and 80 Highpower) and finally the Ramslammers Challenge."
Anyhow, back to the Auction. For one sticker which is about 4" wide and a must for any range box, rifle stock, you name it. I'll pick up the postage - shall we start the bidding at a dollar? I'll call going once, twice and sold as we go.

Put me in for $5. I've never seen one before, so it gets a couple extra for novelty.

Jason you will probably be lucky to ever see one again. This was the original Tshirt design (we have a new one each year).We only had 250 and I had 10 left, of which I sent 7 that's right only 7 as a thank you for the steelchickens stickers. So if you want to stand out in a crowd get one as quick as you can. I must say it would be novel to see one on the line at the NRA nationals. They fit just nice on a rifle butt.

We're bidding on a sticker here, John, not a T-shirt. Not that I have anywhere to put it if I win, as I don't even like match stickers on my gun or scope and I use a big cloth range bag from MidwayUSA so I can't use the sticker there, either.

Seems pretty close to the current exchange rate or 0.7645... Of course I can do that in US dollars on a US bank if preferred! Won't necessarily promise that a US one doesn't have rubber
