great list. the auction last year was a HOOT!! those coveting a peculiar item walked around the table in decreasing orbits near the end of the bidding.

k

that's the best part about a silent auction, watching the vultures circle

~a

the list has been updated to include a new rennshift to be auctioned off!

~a

hey there friends!

that mirror is NOT a dr. evil mirror.

it is a kit you can read all about here:
mirror/visor pivot kit

hopefully, my buddy double-a will call me to fix the listing...

paul bellefleur

thanks for the correction, i have updated the list.

As a sponcer I paid $560.00 to have my logo put on the plate and a pair of pilot lights put up on the silent auction. What happened to that?
:PERMAGRIN: Joe

Mom's service cover will go out Monday Priority mail Monday. She has been a little ill these past few weeks.

Hey, Where's that cool R/C 914 with the beer & logo graphics?

I didn't see it listed...

check the bottom of the list above

~a

cool, thanks for the update.

~a

My bad!

I even read the list twice and missed it!

awesome. can you bring them to the monarch on saturday?

~a

~a

~a

updated list!

~a

i received the 914 wcc06 rc car today, donated by gt performance. it's awesome!

~a

have you guys considered opening up the auction to online users who cannot attend?

an interesting point. one difficulty: many of the items are being brought to the auction by their respective donors. and synching an online auction with live, in-person bidding would be a challenge.

maybe we can set aside a small selection of donations that can be auctioned off in the 914club classifieds, after the wcc?

~a

just have a lap top set up in the lobby. start a thread for each item desired with the current bids. or, have people pm a one time bid (the max they are willing to pay) for each item desired. the bid remains silent and the highest bidder gets it at the end of the night.

Greg I like the idea. Is there someone who can cordinate this??
Let me know or Aaron know.
Craig

The fun part of a silent auction is bidding wars...

Two people, slowly walking back and forth, signing their lifes away at higher prices, watching for the expression on the others face when they read the new price...

Even though I wont be able to bid on the cool stuff, I think the silent auction should stay the way it is...

Those that miss the wcc, miss the silent auction... simple.

Andrew

craig, there will be a Makita tool, prob. an impact driver like last year if the rep ever comes by with it, some bags of wire ties, a few sunglass/safety glasses...for now, that's all, I'll be bringing them up with me.

Jim Thank you, appreciate what you are doing.
Craig

while selling car raffle tickets to non-attendees is a great idea, i think the SILENT auction should remain as was. there should be some special benefit for those who have paid to attend. after all, this isn't barret-jackson. gotta be there to bid. as i remember, all bids had to be settled up before you got the stuff. what happens when a non-attending bidder changes their mind (retracts their bid) after the fact?

Lets get this going for the East Coast Cookout This september

Should be plenty of East Coast guys willing to help for the right cause. This event is not as big as the WCC, yet but we are getting there.
