Title: We've passed 600!! Can we reach 700? or 750??
Post by: Bud B. on May 07, 2013, 07:21:00 PM

Can we reach 500 items to be listed for the St. Jude auction??

If you have already listed one item....list just one more at least.

If you haven't listed an item, why not? Can you commit to listing just one item?

If my counting is correct we have a little more than 330 items listed at the moment. The auctions start on the 19th.

If you haven't posted up an item for auction, will you reply with an affirmative here on this thread and list an item??

Will you list just one more item, at the least??


What say you tradgangers???????

Post by: Terry Green on May 08, 2013, 10:39:00 AM

Most folks don't know you can donate a bowling ball...a pair of hunting boots your kid out grew....a nice looking ROCK you found in your back yard....list anything to raise a dollar.

Some might not know, but 2 dozen cookies went for $6000....and a few pound cakes went for over $7000.

You know what what your item might bring....   :campfire:

I have a few items I am planning on adding. Got to get some pics of them and list them up this saturday. When is the cut off for listing?

Title: Re: We've passed 600!! Can we reach 700? or 750??
Post by: Ron B on May 09, 2013, 06:36:00 AM

Good question. What is the cutoff for listing? Are pics required? I have some items I'd like to list but time is not my friend. If they are items most people are familiar with,like arrow shafts, would the gods forgive me for not posting pictures?

581 if my weak morning eyes are correct.


19 more items for 600.

Some items will make $1k+ or way over, like the collaboration knife or Danny Rowan's Schafer Silvertip donation.

Just imagine if we averaged $100, or $200 per item listed when it's all said and done...

Less than 36 hours to go....tick-tock folks..list'em now if you're gonna.

Cool.  Someone's gonna win a knife!  Remember, the last 10 individuals who list after 600 is reached are eligible.  One entry for each item listed!

I will draw this week for the Lil'Shaver neck knife from Shrew Steel and contact the winner!

Keep this going!!  If we reach 700, I'll draw for two of them!!

It's all for the kids!    :clapper:    :clapper:

Bud B,

I have a count of 651.  Does that correlate with your count?

Terry is leaving the listings open until noon today as he had a power outage yesterday due to all the bad storms.
