Auction to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Okay, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time. As I'm sure all of you have seen I am running a half marathon to raise money for the kids here at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

I have been working with some of the business owners on this forum (and a couple not on this forum) and an outstanding few have very generously donated a lot of merchandise for me to auction off as a part of my fund raiser for St. Jude.

Here is how this is going to work: There will be three packages being auctioned off. Shortly after I post this thread I will post three additional threads entitled St. Jude Auction Package One, St. Jude Auction Package Two and St. Jude Auction Package Three. Fitz has agreed to make these threads "stickies" so you won't have to search for them.

Bidding for a package will take place in that specific package thread. The bidding can start as soon as I post the package threads and will continue until 1:00 pm (central time) on Friday, 13 June 2014.

After 1:00 pm on the 13th, the high bidder will simply PM me their name and address and then go to the link below and make a donation to St. Jude in the amount of their winning bid. Once I confirm the payment, I will ship the merchandise I have and I will notify the business owners who are holding their merchandise that it is okay to go ahead and ship it.

These are some pretty significant packages and I would like to publicly thank the following for their generosity in donating and help in setting this up:

Tom (Monster Raxx)
Pat (gutone4me)
Justin
Ty (Tynimiller)
Todd Pringnitz from Wicked Tree Gear
Scott and Mindy from Onestringer Custom Arrow Wraps
Mathews Archery

Last but not least, Fitz. Thanks for your help in coordinating this.

Thanks, and enjoy the auction!!!

I'm only 50, Mark. :D

 

Hey, folks. I just made a modification to Package 3. Thanks to a generous donation from Hutch, I've included one set of bow strings (Single cam or binary 2 color complete) from Bow String Depot.

The fact that this is a late addition is my fault, not Hutch's. I was supposed to get back with him when I figured out how this was going to work.

Thank you for the help, Hutch!!

 

Hey folks! I'm adding one more item to each package. Today I received a very generous offer from Treehopper to donate three Lane Maker Ratchet Pruners, so I'll add one to each package.

I can't thank you folks enough. You are the best!

 

I agree, Ty! I can't help wondering who is going to get "sniped" at the last minute. :D

 

Only 28 1/2 hours left in the auction folks!

As I said at the beginning, the bidding will end at exactly 1:00 pm tomorrow. To clarify, the post with highest bid with a time stamp of 12:59 pm central time tomorrow, 13 June will win. A bid post with a time stamp of 1:00 pm or after won't count. I figured this would be easier than trying to have a moderator standing by to lock all three threads at exactly 1:00 pm.

I know some of you are waiting to up the bid by $1 at 12:59 pm. Aren't you?

 

25 minutes left!

 

20 minutes left.

 

10 minutes left.

 

5 more minutes. As soon as the St. Jude computer clock hits 1:00 pm I'll post it.

 

According to the clock here at St. Jude, it's 1:00 pm and that's it folks!
