What about some of last year's items that we auctioned off , and people won
but haven't bothered paying Grex for yet?  I'm certainly not sending dm my
elder version of Dark Sun that he won UNTIL he pays grex the 6 bucks hje owes
as I have not received confirmation of his donation.

I got burned in the M-Net Auction. Paid twenty five bucks and never got the
item. Sent mail repeatedly to the M-Net staffer who had the item and got
snippy replies. The item isn't even worth $25 but it's the principle o fthe
thing.

I know where you're coming from. ;-)

Creole, please send me e-mail on M-Net about this.

The auctioneers and I have agreed, this time around, to make a concerted
effort to ensure that things paid for in the Grex auction are actually
delivered.

I will donate a handmade (by me!) didjeridu,  made of genuine PVC pipe, and
bent and stained to look reaay cool.

        now if it was a hurdy-gurdy

Okay, why not.  I'll have a re-vamped description in about two weeks.

So where and when do I make a bid for one of the chocolate-chip
pumpkin breads?

And this probably isn't nice to do but I'd like to suggest
something that could be auctioned.  I'd be interested in
joining a walking tour of Ann Arbor's Old West Side with
a Historic Presevationist who would just ramble on about
architectural styles, original owners, renovation how-to's,
and anything else he'd like to share.  Set a group size 
and let that number of the highest bidders win.

I wonder who could lead such a thing? ;-)

I've linked this item to the intro conference.

I'll donate an Apple IIc Plus, with keyboard and 3 1/2" disk drive (it's all
in one box.)  I don't have the monitor or the wires, but I can arrange for
the monitor at least, I think... I'm not sure if it's in working order, but
I'll try and test it out before then.

Hmm.  I might be able to donate a gift certificate for a one night stay
at the Lakeside Inn in Lakeside.  It's off of exit 6 on I94.  Would anyone
be willing to drive that far?  (Sorry, I can't deliver! ;)  The regular room
rate is around $100; even though I can get a discount on it it would still
need to be worth it to grex for me to shell out the buck for this!

What do you think?

(visit http://www.harborcountryguide.com/lakeside/lakeside.html
for more info)

Which Lakeside are we talking about?  

donate 2 items - photograph-on-something (t-shirt, ceramic mug, mouse pad,
pillow case, boxer shorts.... whatever)
  
your photograph (or disk/graphic image) [not any grex-store items] printed
on the surface of your choice.
  

 re #17:  Although that's a bit south of my native haunts I'd assume
 (judging from "Harbor Country" and exit 6 on I-94 that Lake Michigan
 would be the lake in question..)

I will donate:
                1) homemade whiskey cake
                2) A homemade apple crumb pie

Please, live in the Ann Arbor area. These can not be sent, but can, if close,
be delivered.

Last year's whiskey cake was delicious.

*smile* Thanks Mark.  (I will make you one "under the table" for that) =)

i would like to auction off two maybe three things....

        1.  a crochet (made my me) table runner (i can give dimentins and a
description when i finish it soon!)
        2. CHEESECAKE (new jersey style) (either plain, or chocolate/amaretto)
        3. Apple sauce cake...

Re #23:  Yes, frieda and I both got a whiskey cake.  I donated mine to the
Grex birthday picnic, but it was so good I almost regret it.  :)

Re #24:  What's a table runner?

kind of like a road runner, but not as active, but gets dirtier.

(Only the couth know table runners....)

...or your not-so-fine dining-room table, if that's all you got.

is whiskey cake make of whiskey? kinda curious....

We have an anonymous donation of a matched set of porcelain drunkmen.
Since these have to be seen to be believed, I've set up a web page with
photos and a description.

    http://www.izzy.net/~janc/grexshop/drunkmen.html

I'll see if I can find something that Strategic Computer Solutions
can donate.  Hmmm.  How about some brand new DC600A tapes...?
Or Intel 486Dx-33 CPUs?  {not exactly cutting edge technology, but
still somewhat valuable.}

The Lakeside my family is familiar with is in Ohio, on Lake Erie, across a
bay from Cedar Point.  It might help to make that clear.

Cheesecake?  Cheesecake?  Where?

Very funny page, Jan.

Okay, possible donation of a lawn mowing, if I can clear the operation with
my dad (this would theoretically involve transporting my own equipment, since
I can work well with it).  Scale can be from typical suburban half acre to
country five acre or so plot... I'm not sure about practicality in sizes other
than those extremes.

I guess here is the place to offer rototilling, if it is not a big
space because the machine is very small.

Ooo...I can't resist.
One genuine silly hat, the money earned to be placed in the silly hat fund.

IGHITP to say that the rototilling we need is *heavy duty*, for a small
garden, to grind up all the old roots, new weeks, and clods.
