Bump for the last minute bidders!

Just scored a couple of great items and all for a good cause. YCA, Central Asia Institute and of course, the Access Fund are all high on my giving list.

Thanks Chris!

holly crap, i just racked in the loot on this well below my max bidding price. common y'all, its for charity, ya could have made me spend more!

thanks chris, this is a great idea, those are all charity's i happily support otherwise, and doing so while getting good booty is all the better.

the auction raised 950.07 plus the shipping fees (supertopo is donating the $144 shipping costs) so the grand total comes to 1094.07. That will be split evenly between the three non-profits

I will do another one of these auctions in the spring and hopefully we can raise even more money!

I got my goodies almost instantaneously! I love this auction idea and am looking forward to the next one.

I definitely went over my limits a tad, but that's a good thing... and helped bid up a bunch of other stuff too.

At the end of the day, it's just "stuff", but it's nice knowing that the acquisition of material things is going to help out some folks who can really use the help.
