One thing to remember during the auction, if you want to be able to bid on items up to the end.   DON'T KEEP MULTIPLE PAGES OPEN! That makes it like there are a lot more folks on the site than there really is. We had well over 1000 people on at the end of the auction last year and with so many folks with multiple pages open it was like having 6000 on which  slows everything down a real lot.

Those are probably on the St Judes 2007 forum on that particular 'item' thread....I can't remember who started it though.

If you do run the three pages for three days it maybe a good idea to have separate end times for each so bidders can jump from page to page as they end.

Yep...we already got that covered!

"We create Auction Forum 1, Auction Forum 2, Auction Forum 3, and Auction Forum 4 that are all separate, and all have the same start date, but have a different end date. Auction Forum 1 will end, and a day later 2, and a day later 3, and a day later 4."

It is going to be different and interesting - but still loads of fun  and good deeds.

You never mind about those other pictures, Tom (Native Craft) or I'll tell everyone you asked for them to go with your lavender fletchings. (Mind you, I didn't say you did, I just said I would tell everyone you did. - I take no prisoners!   :p

I am not sure if anyone has thought of this idea or not.  The majority of the guys on here aren't able to bid on many of the hunts or bows, some of the nicer items that are part of the St. Judes auction.  =) Anyways, what I was thinking was that one or two auctions could be set up as buy ins for the chance to win a hunt or a nice bow that some of us couldn't afford.  You could buy in at whatever set price, say $20 to get your name put into the drawing. You could buy in as many times as you want. Through the duration of the auction. At the end of the auction the drawing can be held and a winner announced.  Obviously you would want to get more money raised than what the item is actually worth, might be a way to do just that!? Works for many gun raffles, why not traditional equipment.

Hey Shawn, I e-mailed that very idea to Terry. Have one major item as a raffle. If it was in last years auction then set the number of tickets to increase the sale price over what it raised last year and don't draw until every ticket is sold. Gives us poor folks a shot at something we wouldn't otherwise have.

That's a great idea!!!!.......but the problem is I don't have time to run a raffle.....I've just got too much going on to take on another project.

Guys, I love the raffle idea! But if you're gonna do it, make sure you check into the "games of chance" laws. I would hate to see anybody get in trouble trying to raise money for such a good cause. The laws vary by state, and some can be very restrictive.

My fire company got in a good bit of trouble a few years back for running a 50/50 without a license.

Good point on the raffle. In MI, I believe you can have an auction without a license, but if you do a raffle, then you have to fill out a little bit of paperwork (not unruley, but it has to get done).

The raffle is a good option for the points mentioned above. So who's our "Tradgang resident attorney"???
