Suspensful is it not? Will be up shortly just have to drive the wife into work (Why she has to work Saturday when she is the boss is beyond me). Then I will upload the site and add it to tne Domain server.

Dave

Having trouble getting the server to spawn the address so here is the address. We do need to decide how to go about auctioning these cars off. More yet to be posted but I need to add a sub page and need to run into the city for a bit to have lunch with Beth. Any ideas. I checked into Fleabay and to do a charity auction they will refund the selling cost but Mission fish takes 7% to pass the money along.. Or we can have a live auction in the chat window? Or we can just take email sealed bids and winner gets the auction. If we choose option 2 I will need someone to help auction as I would like a chance to bid also, and option 3 a third party who will also recieve the bids so no question as too who won. Have fun guys I have added a few teasers to this post.....hehehehe

Oh Crud sorry mate forgot to post the url.. Here is a direct link to the page sory sorry sorry...


Coach

Coach, great work, brainstorming here:

I can't vote for a single chat session idea - I know of several upcoming Wednesdays when I can't be there, same would be true of any other time I guess. Then there are time zone differences to contend with too, especially if someone from Yur-rup or downunder wanted to bid. I guess it could be done over several chat times, with winning bids posted in between? Gives everyone a chance to see where things are and run up the donation? Same with sealed bids - round one leaders posted, chance to go higher in round 2? Maybe three rounds? Disadvantage to me of one round of sealed bids is maybe one item sells cheap because people are tending to bid high on the most popular. Idea is to maximize donation, right?

7% seems like a high fee for handling charitable donations, especially when most of us could walk into an AHA office for free and hand them a check.

Just thinking....

I kind of like the 3 rounds myself so far. Only the high bid gets posted at the end of session 1 etc.. good idea any other thoughts? I am anxious to get this under way having these cars here is a temptation lol.. have griinder will build.. wonder what the chromey would look like with the roof chopped off and a interior ( also part of the donations) installed?


Dave

In Case I have not mentioned this yet...Thanks again to Gear Buster for making the HOT tyco chassis for the auction and to Dave "Roadrunner" for his genrous donation of the Chrome Chevy, 43 Petty car, 57 Nomad , two pullbacks and a collection of small parts. Your generosity deserves a good round of applauds! :thumbsup: :wave: :thumbsup:

Just a note that the auction page will now come up using its regular URl
http://heart.coach61.com

we now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

BTW have you decided what to Bid on yet?


Dave
:tongue:

Dave,

How or where do I bid?



Couldn't you have picked a better color than that flourescent lime green? :eek:

These new flat screen displays are amazing! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


Dave

Great cause, I would love to put a bid in on the Chrome 55 chevy. Can't wait till I can bid! Greg :wave:

Ok I put a lot of thought into this, and here goes.. Bidding will begin tonight at 00:00 EST
Email your Bids to BOTH myself and Jeff (Splitposter). Auction ends next Saturday at High Noon EST. I will post the High Bid as they come in.. Also does anyone have a objection if Jeff and I bid? I am willing to send anyone what my maxes will be right now to keep things honest. Have fun with this and remeber its for a good cause, so even if you do not win, consider donating to your local charity anyways.


Thanks Let the good times roll....

Dave

Dave

Yes I could have, but then who would have commented.. was going to do pink but figure Verizon would be sending me a heavy traffic bill..lol.. Joe would have made it his home pages.. Chevy's and Pink Text.. LOL :tongue:

open up your wallets boyz cause I'm a bidding for a good cause, my heart stopped beating for up to 22 minutes back in 1991, I know all about heart defects and the crazy stuff that can happen. (avoid REAPRO at all costs,(it's farmed from mice) as it caused me to code blue twice in 12 hours) ( just gotta explain to the wi-fee why I need more than one of each car.) Just so you understand wi-fees position, car count at approx. 520 afx/x-traction cars and about 100 T-jets and crazy husband still buying :wave: :thumbsup: )

Rest will be up today the F1 wasn't dry yesterday.. call it cutting it close.. lol.. a few pullbacks and a weird jacks interiors yet to go up. I also have a pile of new tires I am goingt o lot out. been cleaning the good stuff box up and finding all kinds of treasures just waiting for RR to reply lol...


Dave

I hear ya Bob,,

My heart spent a few hours beside my body in 2003 now the wife calls me the 146,000 dollor man.. and all thanks to guys like us who stepped up to the plate and donated for research so I could have this nifty state of the art Aerotic valve abd Titiumn Aeortic shunt..Now I am stronger faster and a fatter... lol..


Dave
But in all seriousness, St. Judes Heart research saved my life period and I owe them that and I owe each and every person on this planet who tossed a nicheal in the can at the local store thank you for the bottom of my now very healthy heart!

Figured out a fair way to pay for the wins bTW. Winners sends a check or Money order Payable to the American Heart Association..I send them the car and drop off the checks.. works better as the winner will get the tax reciept in thier name that way also which I will enclose in the package.. I am so smart s.m.r.t. DOH!

I was thinking of that but I think that would just make it tougher for the buyer one check for AHA and one for shipping so I will pay all shipping costs as part of my donation. I prefer simple...lol...

Good morning.

I recieved a letter from the Honda F1 teamthis morning, they regretted to inform me that they could not offer anything for the fund raiser ( I had asked for a driver autograph to go with the car). They also did not ask for a cease on th ecar paint job, so I guess we are legal lol.. So I guess we can call it the Honda RA107 and not get in any trouble. Guess thats better new then being told hey dude no way can you make a copy of our car.. Gibbs racing could take a lesson from a much larger company...

Coach's brainchild F1 Honda arrived at my track! The road and race track are under construction, but the rail line is complete, so the first tour was pulled behind a vintage Mantua switcher. (Found the hauler in a train shop NOS from a lot of used stuff - AHM dated 1984). The autoloader is full of cargo destined for the restoration shop.
