Although I didn't bring it to New Zealand with me, it has a TREASURED place in my Carcassonne collection.

Didn't bring it, huh?  What's your California address again?   ;D

It's actually in a Swiss bank lockbox deep in the Alps. It requires two keys from two different people to open...and the other key went missing (or should I say, the person did, laughing somewhat maniacally when they left). So, well, let's just say it may be a while before I play Ark of the Covenant again. Assuming its still there. In the lockbox. In the Alps.  :'( :'( :'(

I can almost see the Alps from my window, and I teach people who work for Swiss investment banks almost every day. So I expect to have the Ark in my possession by sundown tomorrow at the latest :)

So you won't be bidding on the BGG one then? Great news!  :(y) Everyone's a winner (apart from whaleyland, but he has 2 copies anyway)

Had!
What he said!!! Find the person I gifted the second copy to. They're in Los Angeles. Only a few million people there. Shouldn't be a problem. They probably keep it in their closet. Beware of the rabbit. It bites!

I expect they buried it in a desert somewhere. It’s the only rational thing to do really. However, an ex-girlfriend of mine has a special medallion (her dad was some sort of archaeologist) which, when placed atop a stick of the right length and held in the “map room” (not sure where this is but it’s probably quite near the actual burial site) at the correct time of day will show exactly where it’s buried! I’ll get my whip and head on over there after work. I hope there’s no snakes!

You are hilarious!
I had to think of Harry Potter when he wanted to enter the Gringotts Wizarding Bank. XD

Now that's dedication. I'd already decided that I would have to be up around 5am to make sure everything went smoothly if I was bidding on it.

Enjoy!
