100.00's matched from me (at the end of the auction)


Below is what was sent to me via paypal

20.00's Dave O via my paypal
20.00 strike via my paypal
20.00 DMZ via paypal
20.00 tommycat via paypal
20.00 BGinGA
20.00 phase12
20.00 softchewy
20.00 georgiakurt
100.00 anonymous


100.00 from an anonymous member (shipped privately)


First off, this will be way inferior to @Psypher1000 charity raffle.

I'm simply auctioning off a few of my sample sets and some extra playing cards.

Starting price will be 30.00's shipped in the U.S. I'll ship outside the U.S. but the purchaser will pay for anything over 12 bucks shipping.

Auction will run until next MON, NOV 23rd, 0900 hrs

Its very unlikely that this will get to 100.00's. I plan on matching the winning bid up to 100 bucks and adding it to her gofund account.

Megan and I's cubicles were next to each other. We often chatted. When I was updating paper work, or writing a report if there was a Tigers game on I would be listening to it via my phone. She would always ask me to turn it up. She was a fan. It also brought fond memories of going to Tigers games with her Father.

Anyways, here is some information on her and what happened.



Megan Christ is a prosthetist/orthotist at the University of Michigan Orthotics and Prosthetics Center. She started in 2006 as an orthotic resident, and then worked in the O&P Acute Care Satellite at UH for 4 years. After leaving for a few years to work in California and Virginia, Megan and her husband Steven returned to Michigan in 2014 and she resumed working at the UMOPC at the outpatient center. Megan enjoys working with amputees of all ages to fit prosthetic limbs, as well as providing custom braces to orthotic patients. She has had a blast volunteering with the kids at Trails Edge Camp for 4 summers.

On July 4, 2015, while Megan and Steven were vacationing in North Carolina, the porch they were standing on to take a Christ family photo collapsed. After falling 12 feet, Megan suffered a C7 incomplete spinal cord injury, causing paralysis from the chest down. She spent 2.5 months on 6A for intensive rehab, working with truly dedicated therapists, nurses, and physicians. With the support of her amazing husband, family, and friends, Megan made important gains and discharged, and now continues with outpatient therapy at MedRehab.

We are raising money to purchase a vehicle that can be modified to add hand controls and an electric lift for the wheelchair to allow Megan to drive. This will greatly increase her independence as she continues to work toward returning to work at O&P. Please join us at Revel & Roll on November 15, 2015 to help her by stopping by the Megan Christ Lane to help Megan in her quest. All you have to do is bowl one frame pledging at least 50 cents per pin for each one you knock down!! Now is your chance to practice your strikes!!! Volunteers will take cash, checks or we will have our laptops so you can go right to the Gofundme page and make your “pin” donation!!

Come on out to have some PM&R fun and make a donation to Megan’s new wheelchair and help get her back to UMOPC!

I receive what we will call a weekly allowance from my wife (lol, whatever, she runs the finances). I've been donating 20 bucks every other week to help out with dinners and shit. I wanted to do more.

What do you think tommy and detroitdad

I'm not either one, but I think your comments should be addressed privately to DD -- and not in a public attempt that derails his thread. Not cool.

i have nothing to hide

BGnGA,

Thanks, honestly, I didn't interpret it as an attempt at a derail of my thread. He brought up some points that could help benefit the charity PCF auctions as a hole. I always appreciate new ideas.

Now saying that. I don't think I'm going to alter the auction for a couple of reasons. First off, I think it would be an injustice to Megan (even though she knows nothing of it at this time). It could also be a slap in the face to the members that have placed bids, and that have taken time (including you) to donate their own supplies for this cause.

After contemplating it, I'm going to let the auction run its course and lock it up at 0900 EST on MON.

as stated, I believe the current bid is Psypher at 126. I'll go double check in case I missed something
 
May i try to derail this thread by adding a double deck of Copag Plastic Cards.
New in it's package.

My final addition, just because nothing really moved tonight (n) :thumbsdown:

And also because il like giving detroitdad headaches updating the OP :p
 
On one hand...wtf? Mel came over the top of my surefire-win-bid of $126??? What the hell, Mel???

On the other hand...awesome! I'm bowing out of the race at this point, but keep that bidding up!
 
@detroitdad. Sorry to make you update the OP, but please add these to the winner's pot. An 11 chip TRK Deadwood sample set. Please PM me your address so I can mail them to you. Or I can mail them directly to the winner. Please let me know what the preference is.

HUGE HUGS TO MEGAN and I wish her and her family all the best!!!

Wow thats huge!
 
After seeing Alpha's incredible Deadwoods donation, I was just about to post that $200 was no longer safe. I see gopher beat me to it with his wallet. With three days yet to go, I don't think $300 is out of the question now.....
