nanoreefnate Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 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; http://www.hcchallenge2010.org/faf/home/cc...4&ccp=93679 Auction Corals In addition to those corals I have new corals ( Generously donated by Craig [Fishez4alivin] ) which will be auctioned off. here are the corals which will be auctioned off. PLEASE NOTE THE SIZES OF THE FRAGS THAT WILL BE MADE. PICTURE DOES NOT NECESSARILY DEPICT THE FRAG TO BE MADE. Please post price your willing to pay with the picture of the frag you like. If another person is willing to pay more then said person will post in the same fashion Tyree True Undata 1"x1/2"+ Current bid $10 Japanese Deep Water Zoas +12 polyps Current bid $12 Green Long Polyp Toadstool Pissed off cuz I moved it to take this pic Currentbid $10 Palys large multi polyp frag/mini colony Current bid $6 and I can break off a solid 1" of a Montipora Setosa, lineage from Fragfarmers at BACFM in 2008 Current bid $20 this will be a fresh cut frag with two branches 1" in length from my Pink Lemonade with lineage Current Bid $11 frag coming from the far left And this 2 frag plug with a Icefire Enchinata with lineage and Strawberry Shortcake Aussie Acro, this is a frag of the tips that broke a couple weeks ago, when I went bb.

Deleted User 6 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I think this is an amazing idea and a great charity, but aren't auctions against the rules? Link to comment
luckydud13 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 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. Link to comment
nanoreefnate Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 I think this is an amazing idea and a great charity, but aren't auctions against the rules? auctions are against the rules? O.o oh noes! Link to comment
Miami797 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 auctions are against the rules? O.o oh noes! I just noticed that myself. It says no "advertising auctions." Maybe since it's for charity it can slide. Link to comment
nanoreefnate Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 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.... Link to comment
luckydud13 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 So if the auction is still on, are my bids good? Link to comment
Mustang Boy Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 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 Link to comment
