Subject auction, which we discussed here and via e-mail in the February
timeframe, will hopefully get under way soon. I have begun constructing
the lots at
SeriousCollector and hope to launch by Friday.
Featured lots so far:
4537 Twin Tank unopened - Donor: Mike Collins
2556 Model Team Ferrari - Donor: Osvaldo Fernandez
Halloween bucket, unopened - Donor: Tom Stangl
Misc Parts lot - Donor: Christopher Weeks
Custom Hopper Car in your color choice - Donor: Larry Pieniazek
Custom Red and White passenger car - Donor: Larry Pieniazek
That last lot needs a bit of explanation. This car has some history, it
has been on display at various PNLTC shows throughout the Pacific NW for
the past 9 months or so, and rather than having it returned, I've
decided to donate it. The winner will have their choice of getting title
to the loaned one, and leaving it on loan with PNLTC, or getting an
exact replica constructed and sent to them.
We certainly welcome additional lot donations if you so choose.
All proceeds will be used to buy LEGO with an eye to maximising value
for the dollar and donated to the play area at a yet to be determined
Ronald McDonald house (most likely in southern California, where Gary
lived). If you may be able to assist with the process of securing and
delivering the bricks, please let me know.
Please forgive posting this to announce, but this is rather a special
auction, I think. Followups to market.auction (where the formal "start"
will be announced)

While they may bring more than I paid at auction, the quantity would probably be appreciated. Or is the idea to only (...) (25 years ago, 6-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

| (...) (snip auction listing) (...) Has anyone asked s@h or customer service if they would maximize the purchase (special discount for charity) and deliver directly to the site? It never hurts to ask. Louise (25 years ago, 8-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

| As a side note, we have enough lots now that it may make sense to choose **TWO** houses and give 1/2 the proceeds (in bricks) to each. We need to decide which one(s), and we need to identify the southern California volunteer who can actually do the (...) (25 years ago, 12-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

| (...) I'll need a shill as it's not allowed by the site. I will announce who the shill is on RTL, on lugnet.market.auction and in the forums at the site, should I decide to do it. Mike said he would. Speaking of Mike Stanley, we have 5 more lots. (...) (25 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

| The auction is winding down (1) and we have a number of winners. Some of the early lot descriptions aren't as clear as others. If you're a winner and I haven't sent a note to you directly, here's what you have to do. (this is a bit more complicated (...) (25 years ago, 10-May-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

| OK, it's been a while since I sent one of these. We are making progress. But we're not done yet. Biggest thing missing is that I have a LOT of holes around who has shipped and who has received their goodies. Good news is: We have raised over 800 (...)
