Subject: And if you had taken my bet last year you would have lost

Larry read it correctly. The bidder meant to bid $5000.

PLUS taxes, plus liquor license. I read the contract and gee, I've only been in business for 25 years. Maybe you should read the contract. And if he was that naive and doesn't know how to read a contract then why did he tell the Gazette (twice now) that he fully expected to pay $30,000 in additional taxes?

And he also bid $5,000 fully expecting to pay somebody else $15,000 in fertilizer, and somebody else $7,000 in electricity and $10,000 in advertising, and so on and so on. Quite frankly I think he's out of his mind (even if it were only $5,000)
