Exclusive TC Auction for the MS Walk 2008

Many of you have seen Suffering Bastard in Maine's post that he and The FOM have joined the ranks of many in the 2008 MS walk for a cure. This is a fund raiser by the National MS Society to help find a cure for MS and fund other programs. Jon is walking for his wife Traci who has been diagnosed with MS. This is a cause near to me as well as my Paula, was also diagnosed with MS. I know many have pledged to the walk and we thank you and ask that more follow suit.

I have another way you can get on board here. " The 2008 Exclusive TC Ohana Auction" You bid here on TC and the winning bidder will be notified to send a pledge to SBIM walk page. After you make your payment I will send out the package out to you (I will pay shipping to the US).

You can get more info on the walk by clicking http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=26929&forum=15&13

Last year many of you also added items to the auction. It is easy to do. Just post your item here with the starting bid, shipping fees (if any),and the date you want the auction to end. When you have a wining bid the bidder will send you a shipping address and will make a pledge to SBIM account. Jon will send you a note to confirm.

Bidding is easy just find the item(s) you wish to bid on. Place a bid here Please be sure to include the description of the item you are bidding for with your bid. If you are the winning bidder make your pledge and include the item description with your pledge. Send your shipping address to the donor. If you need to send shipping fees work it out the the donor DO NOT send it to account. When your pledge and address is confirmed your item will be on it's way. No
All auctions need to end and all pledges must be made by 4/10/08 in order to get it in time for the walk.
Any other questions please feel free to PM me.

Here is the first item up.
This item was donated by Tiki Farm to be auctioned off at Lala Bahooka on Saturday night. Due to an over site on my part it did not make it out for the live auction. Now you all have a chance to get the mugs here.

From Tiki Farm: This is our limited edition a/p run of only 30 sets of our 2003 "Martin" & "Cockeyed Tiki Bush Warrior" mugs, originally from the 2003 "It's all about the Tiki" shows held at La Luz de Jesus & M-Modern Galleries.

This set #30 of 30. I have the set in hand and will pay the shipping to the US.
Starting bid just $75.00 bidding ends at 12noon pacific time 3.17.08 good luck.

This is not exactly auction format but I have set up a link on my site at http://www.speakitiki.com on the links/promotions page and go to the link for Tiki Central. I am offering through this link my Tiki Speakers at $100 off retail pricing (still with free ground shipping in the U.S.) and will donate $50 per pair sold through this link to the MS fundraiser through the end of March.

John,
I'll start the bidding out @ $85.00 for auction item #1 (the Tiki Farm set).
WooooHoooooOOOOOOOooooooo!!!

I'll have to raise it to $100

Here are the respective designers Pizz & Von Franco. They're good pals & people always get them confused with one another.

I don't see why?

Will bump the mugs to $125.

Psssst. Hey, Dibroc. $135

$135.00 is a good bid for this very limited set. 29 of these sets went on sale today on Tiki Farm's website for 100.00 a set. The other 29 sets sold out in 10 minutes. This is the last set out there people get them while you still can. Thanks for the support.
