Coral Auction for charity!

[nanoreefnate]

Hey guys and gals. I figured that auctioning some corals generously donated by Craig would be a good way to get funds for the bike ride I'm doing. The event is called the Audi Best Buddies Challenge and we are raising money to help support the Best Buddies organization that provides support to the intellectually and developmentally disabled. The organization was originally founded by Anthony Kennedy Shriver in 1989 and now supports more than 1,500 middle schools, high schools and colleges across the world. I am doing the 15mile bike ride to Hearst San Simeion Estate. For the full backround of the organization please go here;

I think this is an amazing idea and a great charity, but aren't auctions against the rules?

[luckydud13]

Eh, I've already donated, but you can never donate too much can you

 

I will bid $5 for the Toadstool and $5 for the large poly frag.

auctions are against the rules? O.o oh noes!

[Miami797]

I just noticed that myself. It says no "advertising auctions." Maybe since it's for charity it can slide.

hopefully... all the proceeds are going to the charity organization after all....

[luckydud13]

So if the auction is still on, are my bids good?

[Mustang Boy]

ill bid $10 for the deepwater zoas and $6 for the paly mini colony

 

 

also i think it would be a good idea to update the original post with the current high bids and who is the current high bidder because i predict this thread is going to get very large so it will be hard to keep up with who is high bidder otherwise

[nanoreefnate]

$10 for the pink lemonade. $10 Tyree Undata.

 

i think shipping is additional. if not, ground and it shouldn't be guaranteed against DOA, imo

If there are overnight shopping fees I will have to withdrawl my bids, sorry. I'm sure you will still get plenty of bids on that monti.

[thewire]

so how much is shipping?

[nanoreefnate]

so how much is shipping?

your choice of USPS or Fedex. overnight with guarantee. any other shipping method is void of any DOA guarantee.

[Mustang Boy]

[luckydud13]

Wait, Im still a little confused, we get to choose and pay for the shipping right?

[Miami797]

I think people are waiting until the last minute, just like eBay.
