TARBUSTER BENEFIT AUCTION (continued on Supertopo)..........
....(almost done I promise)
The Tarbuster benefit auction and Stonemaster slide show at Todd Gordon’s was a tremendous success:
BIG thanks to all who helped out and attended.
I have some remaining items yet to auction off to help pay for my extensive out-of-pocket medical bills.
($35,000 over the last five years alone, unable to work for 2 years, a 12 year problem ... and counting)
I would prefer to sell these final auction items on Super Topo as opposed to eBay.
PLEASE POST BIDS HERE in this thread
I will run this a couple weeks: closing Monday night May 18, 8pm Pacific Time
*FYI : All of you who have already sent me cash donations via mail, or donated items to the auction, but missed the party, will soon receive a Fidelman poster of YABO in recognition of your kind and generous donation, so no need to purchase one here, unless you would like to obtain an extra.

I have $130 for the sea of dreams from Riley!
DD: is this not a blast?
Yes Jay you have a poster coming for your previous cash donation.
Please send me an e-mail confirming your address.
And Riley pledges 20 bucks for a poster: awesome.
Nobody out there wants the A5 hammer?
I guess I'll just have to send it to Deuce, get it signed and run the value of it a little higher for a Chessler or somebody...
