If you are bidding yourself, I think you cannot bid for someone else (morally speaking). Otherwise you can be sure to beat his bid by bidding just one dollar more.

Paul can you ask the nursery school to try to take bids by phone? I will mail them a 20 dollar check. And if I win I will not make you go anywhere, I will fly out to Palo Alto.

I am sure many others would appreciate this option.

Can someone in the area be my proxy and bid for me?

I'm wondering this same thing for myself.

I don't want to give the school a fixed number. I want a live body that can call me. I might go over my "limit" if it's within reason at the last minute...

I would like to remotely bid on this item too. I would fly in for the lunch.

Seems kind of ... hrm ... odd to propose it as a chat about your startup. I think it'd be fun to do lunch with PG, but would much rather range over a wider group of topics - life in Italy, fatherhood, tech trends, languages, politics (hate seeing it on this site, but like everyone, I'm interested in it), and this that and the other thing.
