As humorous as the title sounds, I have to go to my serious side and say how genuinely touched I was to receive the gift from my gift exchange match. Seriously, I sat down and said to myself "Wow, someone actually got this for me".

I've been an auctioneer for a while and have never owned a gavel. I've always wanted one, but it's just not something I would by for myself. I can't explain it. To me, a gavel is an extension of the auctioneer and not just a noise maker during an auction.

The gavel I was gifted with is handmade and a real work of art. As I'm typing this, I'm still not over the surprise and joy of being gifted with something so wonderful! To my match, Megantelope, I can't say thank you enough. This is definitely the gift of a lifetime for me. You really, REALLY touched my heart and made my day!!!
