Thumbs up Got my heating oil for winter--two auction WINS !!!!
The Allentown area radio stations have an online auction where they place items up for bids for a week.

I bid on the both the 150 and 250 gallons of heating oil and won them both



Price ends up being $2.825 per gallon for the entire 400 gallons

If you want to check out what all they offered Bid-On-The-Valley - Clear Channel Allentown

You rang?
Although, technically I'm in Hanover Twp....

No more oil for me. Old house became a rental with electric heat and the new pad is gas.

It's fun to win auctions, but for those of us who don't use oil, what's the going rate?
