Benefit Auction For Stonemon #2 - Montana/Bot/Velvet Wraps

[jasoninsd]

After speaking with Tommy , rockjunquie , and aDave I have decided to put up two auctions in which all proceeds (minus SFRB shipping CONUS) will be forwarded to stonemon for his medical expenses. Money will be sent to me (ok'd by moderators) and I will forward the funds from both auctions to Bill. I can do PayPal (friends & family) for payment. EDIT - I can take a check or money order as well...but that will obviously delay shipping...

This auction is for a Montana Agate wrap, a Botswana Agate wrap, and a Mexican Royal Velvet Obsidian wrap. The auction will have an opening bid of $100. The auction will end 7pm MST on Friday, December 9th, 2022. That way I can get them out in the mail on Saturday to ensure delivery for Christmas!

If you haven't seen the thread about Bill (stonemon), here is a link to the thread explaining what's going on.

Remember, this is a benefit auction, where you'll be helping out one of the great members on the forum...and getting a couple Christmas presents for yourself. Dig deep folks!

Nice offerings! Let the bidding begin and get yourself some original works of art as gifts for the Holidays.

$150

As staff, I wouldn't normally jump in, but this needs to get started.  Besides, a fracture free Montana is amazing.

Good job, pebblesky and thank YOU!

UPDATE - Payment was sent by pebblesky and received by me! Shipping label printed and this will go out in the mail tomorrow.

I will be transferring all funds into my bank account so I can make the payment to Bill in one lump sum. Once I'm able to send the funds, I'll update Bill's threads with a breakdown of the totals from both auctions.

[jasoninsd]

(Minus $16.20 for shipping)

Thank you to ALL of you who made this possible!
