In Stellingwarf (mar ok wel in hiel Fryslân) bruken we vaeks ok et recht op
en daele (up and down) bieden mit 'plokgeld' (ok wel: striekgeld) veur de
hoogste bieder in de eerste ronde.
D'r wodt in een eerste ronde van lege naor hoge beuden en dan laeter van
hoge (ongeveer et dubbele) naor beneden. Wie bi'j die laeste ronde as eerste
'mijn' ropt is koopman. Die de eerste keer et hoogste was krigt 1 of 2 % van
zien hoogste bod. Bi'j verkope van huzen en gebouwen hej' dan vaeke te
maeken mit zonuumde 'striekgeldschrievers'. Dit bin meerstal een stellegien
(een stok of vieve) rieke boeren die mittenneer veur et eerste bod staon. As
een aander dan laeter de koper wodt dan hebben de striekgeldschrievers die
peer percent 'striekgeld' verdiend.

We kennen hier trouwens ok nog een typisch Amerikaanse verkopinge (auction).
Die wodt meerstal bruukt bi'j liefdaodighied (charity of philanthropy). Dan
bödt iederiene veur een klein bedrag mit en betaelt dat ok drekt. Wie et
laeste biedt en betaeld krigt et veurwarp dan. Meerstal gaot dit om centerse
negosie mar brengt de orgenisaosie toch hiel wat centen in kas.
Mit een vrundelike groet uut Stellingwarf,
Piet Bult
