She really wants to get her 510(the grey one) painted,and possibly get to Canby(not sure on this have to ask her doc etc) So anyone on Van Isle know of a cheap or whatever guy that can do it(hopefully cheap cheap) I have been sourcing stuff for it, almost done that part.

joker72z Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Geez Lou, I am so sorry to hear about your wife and her struggles. Count me in for some $$ coming your way. I don't have a car currently but cash will work. For everyone else, remember who the guy is that took up the lead for those other auctions to help club members out and give with your heart. My prayers for your wife and for you sir. Chris Quote Link to comment

Camtron Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 After dealing with my own health issues for the last (almost) three years now, I have been blown away time and time again by the kindness and generosity of not only friends and family, but complete strangers. I hope you and your wife feel lots of love coming your way right now. I won't say "I know how you feel" because I've learned that NOBODY can know what you are feeling right now; even if it's an identical situation/age/diagnosis, etc. So I'll wish you the best of luck, and I hope that whatever money is raised here will lift a bit of weight off of your shoulders. I know I've got more to throw in, but for now (until I can go through my stuff) I'll put up the side pillar vents from my 72 510. They're in good shape (driver condition) but could use a good cleaning. Shipping to anywhere in US or Canada on me. Or shit, anywhere worldwide. I'll send the bastards to the arctic research station if somebody there needs em. Bring it on if you want em! Quote Link to comment
hitch Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I love the idea of this type of fundraser. I was fortunate and won one a while back so i have a suggestion. If there are more items added or donated, they should be kept seperate, i feel that when items keep being added after the bidding starts, it takes to many people out of the bidding and deflates the price. New items should be started in a seperate auction. Jmho Quote Link to comment
Komi Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 sorry to hear about your wife mate. hope its curable. thoughts are with the both of you. Quote Link to comment
Camtron Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Haven't gotten the vents off yet, but I wanted to add a couple more things this morning first. First is a JAF 2001 special edition Christmas sticker. I've never opened the package so I'm not sure what material it is, but it's not one of the original silicone ones. Still pretty cool and in perfect condition. Here's the actual item. It's reversed so you can put it inside the glass, which is why you can't really tell what it looks like... lol This is the actual design: Next up is your choice of either Buckyballs or Buckycubes ("Original Edition" color, 125 magnets in each). Both are still sealed in the original packaging. Not car related, but they are really fun and you can no longer get them (even on eBay) because they were deemed "unsafe" because kids were swallowing them or putting them in their noses and getting hurt, so they're kind of collector's items. I call them the Lawn Darts of our generation :) With a bid, please include a promise that you will not put these in any orifice or leave them where kids or pets can get to them. Here are the actual items: And here's what you can do with them: The auction is for your choice of one of them (balls or cubes), but if the bidding goes over $100 the winner will receive both. Shipping is included in auction price! Quote Link to comment

karnutz Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Whats your paypal 510freak? I'll just throw $50 your way. Quote Link to comment
Camtron Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 REDACTED Are you sure you don't wanna give some notice as to when to end the forst round to give this stuff a chance to cook a bit more? It's definitely your show here (and your money), but you might be short changing yourself a bit. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Im headed to my storage unit today and will pull a couple things out to add to the auction. Are you sure you don't wanna give some notice as to when to end the forst round to give this stuff a chance to cook a bit more? It's definitely your show here (and your money), but you might be short changing yourself a bit. I agree with this. If its going to be multiple auctions in the same thread, Id suggest a standard time frame to bid. What if someone didnt want earlier items, but wanted something later and you just cut off the auction saying someone else won? Or maybe you could get more money out of people with a friendly bidding war, but instead you just stop it out of the blue and you lose money. Just some thoughts. Quote Link to comment
