westcoastchica 0 #1 February 2, 2004 The bidding is on! We’ve had some great donations come through that have been put up for auction. The bidding is open already and will remain open through Sunday night (2/8). Anniken is handling the auction and you can reach her via the Skydive Elsinore office at 909 245 9939. You can request to be notified if someone has outbid you on an item, so you have a great chance at winning!!! You’ll have to get in touch with Anniken for the details on these items, but here are a few things up for bid: -Custom made surfboard of your choice by Jimmy Simplicio. -Talon, T2 Harness fitting up to 120 main. Very good condition! -Tony Suit (RW). Black with blue grippers in very good condition, size small. -Hawk Design Freefly suit. Black and white, size large. -New Bonehead “Millennium” helmet. Black, size large. -“Galaxy” Altimeter, brand new! -10 hours computer/network labor with our very own Cajones (ed)! You can call in and place a bid right now! These are some great donations and I think we’ll see some neat bids come through. Again, all the proceeds will go to the instructors! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westcoastchica 0 #10 February 3, 2004 Quotecan we get a list of the minimum or current bid prices for the items? great idea kris! i'll see if i can get anniken to post a list of updated bid standings for each item. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Cajones 0 #11 February 3, 2004 I thought it was supposed to be a silent auction...? My understanding with a "silent auction" is you make a "sealed bid" and the highest bid takes it. Are we not doing the "silent auction" idea, now? It would be good to post a comprehensive list with minimums, regardless. - Cajones The laws of physics are strictly enforced.

(the only silent auction i have ever participated in was run with open lists of bids on a paper and you had to keep checking the paper to see if the bid had gone up and thus you could leave it, or write down a new higher bid. in this case, anniken is running the bids via phone calls, so it is different from what i am used to.) there was some chatter about open bidding so that there would be a battle for higher bids, thus, more money for the fund. i don't know. i just wanted to get the word out about the items... again, anniken (who is working very hard and doing a great job) is in charge of this and will hopefully be able to post a bit more about the items and minimums and *maybe* current bids. stay tuned for updates!
