Hells yeah!! I think it would be fine if you just selected some of your favs or if you made the auction a "buyer picks it from your collection" sorta thing.
Thanks LC.

i for one will be bidding on the 190 nordi w105s, i;ve lusted after that ski for so long. not only do i get sick boards, but i get to help out a awesome cause, what more could a man want from life!

setting up the auction on TGR and using paypal is a much better idea then Ebay. Ebay sellers fees are a bitch, and everyone is still covered with paypal. Ill start looking for gear to donate, im sure I can find something. Hang in there!!

Good call, I can do that easily. I'll shoot you a PM in a minute with some questions or details...

Are you guys thinking only gear? I've got a brand new laptop, still in the box, that I'd be happy to donate (a firm I consult for gave it to me as a sign on bonus, however I already have one I like) that could be auctioned off... if you think people would bid for it?

Also, what about throwing a bar party to benefit Nilz? I've done those before in NYC for leukemia fundraisers for TNT, and each one has raised over $1400... basically, it's a $10 cover that goes to the cause, and then a 50/50 bar tab split. You have to do it at a bigger bar/club, and the majority of people are happy to donate to the cause... and the "regulars" don't even know that it's a fundraising party. Just a thought.

I think the laptop would be great, very frickin generous of you tacoma.
Start with a minimum bid and if nobody bites, no worries.
Thanks a lot everyone, the donations are rolling in and I think this will be a big success when we put it together after 7/4!

This is simply amazing, and I'm proud to say I'm a part of this community. The generousity of the people on here know no bounds.

**Tectonically_Neglected** · 06-29-2006, 12:25 AM

Don't need any gear and don't have anything worth selling (shipping from over here will be more than what it's worth)...

Def set up a paypal thingy

**midget** · 06-29-2006, 12:57 AM

I'll throw some prints of some ski action in.
FROZENWATER - Let's get a sticky going so people don't miss the opportunity to donate stuff for the auction and/or to donate money once this is all finalized........cause i completely missed the memo....didn't even know the cancer came back.....

**justcuz** · 06-29-2006, 06:03 AM

I am putting together a new thread that will detail where to donate $$$, and how to go about getting your goods up for auction.

Stay tuned all, watch for a new thread. This will rule!

**snowsprite** · 06-29-2006, 07:37 AM

Sidenote: peeps may be away for next week due to July 4th holiday (I know I will be...w00t!!!) so pleez keep this going into the week of the 10th or let us know a paypal acct where we can send a contribution b4 or aft.

Sprite, as good as you are at this whole intraweb thing....that is officially the fourth time someone has said that.

Guess we're keeping it going until after the fourth

**midget** · 06-29-2006, 09:59 AM

I just spoke with Jason Levinthal over at Line, he's sending some stuff over, not sure what yet.

**TeleHoar** · 06-29-2006, 10:05 AM

I will donate some original art prints too.

Jesus praying for snow. Giclee print

And the Tele-Ullr poster from this year's fest.

You know you will want both!

**Viva** · 06-29-2006, 10:07 AM

^^^ Nice prints, Doood.

**justcuz** · 06-29-2006, 10:37 AM

Just waiting for a proofread on the kick off thread, then I will post it....

Thanks to everyone helping out...let's keep the enthusiasm rollin!

We really need to get in touch with one of TGR's moderators (Frozen maybe?) so we can get things sticky when we need to. I'm hoping that at the VERY least we make the auction threads sticky....that is if we can't get them to make a seperate section for it.

**natty dread** · 06-29-2006, 12:11 PM

Like justcuz said, we are actively working on the auction thread and other details and will get it up as soon as we can. The thread will include everything you need to know, so stay tuned!!
There are many people working behind the scenes to make this a big deal, thank you all!
And keep the monetary donations rolling into my paypal account--

This is great to see. Sometimes you just need a little help.

**xboat** · 06-29-2006, 03:03 PM

this is cool shit right here.

i've been SLAMMED here at work, but in the next day or two i would like to get a couple really nice pieces up for auction. i've been saving some things for just this type of occasion.

i have a really cool & quality Pabst Blue Ribbon dart board that i know the mags will bid well for. i've got a few Guinness t-shirts, PBR tin signs and a PBR hoodie, also.
