Thanks for all the great help !
« on: June 28, 2012, 10:12:51 AM »
 I would like to thank everyone for your help in the benefit for Kinsley . The auctions went well and we raised enough money to pay for a few more tanks of gas to get them back and forth from the hospitals.
 I have had some great calls donated for the next auction. Lamar Williams is donating one of his scratchboxes which he has made very few of in the last 15 years . They are very collectable and one you don't want to miss out on . We also have sweet calls from Steve Lumma , Don Bald , Jimmy Schaffer and a few other award winning callmakers . I have donations of some older Lynch calls and such coming too . There will be a power knife sharpening sysytem donated by Work Sharp Tools and a set of custom knives donated by a family who has also been stricken wit hcancer lately .
 It has been suggested to me to run the next auction on EBAY so that more people will have access to help us out . I will check into that and let you guys know how it will work . Thanks again to everyone !!

Ebay is fine and may work out but I feel the callers went for a good price and people did a great job bidding. Does Ebay charge for charity auctions?

I agree that the callers sold well and the bidding was active for sure. My main concern is to be able to raise as much money as possible for the family. So if we utilize ebay in addition to our blessed Roost, it would allow thousands of people to have an ooportunity to see and bid on the calls. This is also important because the auctions are being publicized in North American Hunter right now and will soon be followed up in another national publication. I am being contacted by people who cannot get on Osage Roost for one reason or another so they are unable to even look at what we are offering. Going on ebay would not prohibit any of us roosters from bidding, just allow more folks to join in . Let me know your thoughts, thanks.

Bob.
As much as it is nice having the auctions being exclusive to the Roost I feel that utilizing eBay will only benefit the family. Being that more people know about the auctions thanks in part to NAHC publication it will only help in thefund raising. Through eBay more people will be able to get involved and bid on the fine calls being offered.
I'm in favor for eBay.  *cheers*

Bob, If you need any help with the Ebay listings let me know. I'll step up and list everything like I did for our fundraiser a while back.

I am not so sure about EBay, things are going cheap there.
