Auction at TAM?

[Dicon]

Does anyone know if there will be an auction of enticing memorabilia this year? I don't see it listed on the schedule...

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

I don't recall it having ever been listed. However, I could be wrong. But I sure hope there is one!

we will have a handful of quick auctions for some really cool stuff, and likely a silent auction for other cool stuff.

Actually, this was never adequately answered in another thread. I have some stuff I can donate, some of which is actually pretty cool. What do I do?

 

[SkepticScott]

Bring it Phil, and I'll make sure it at least goes into the silent auction. Any really cool stuff may make it to the quick auctions. Any extremely cool stuff will get thoroughly examined before I reluctantly pass it on to the quick auctions.

What about a "wax Michael Shermer's chest" auction?

It could raise thousands!

If it's radioactive and/or poisonous, I'd like to buy it for Rebecca.

Translation: I'll start the Shermer chest waxing bids at $200.

Ah. But he's not attending. And I have his Travelling Shirt as hostage.

Your $200 bid is the highest right now.

GG, JREF takes all major credit cards so feel free to bid early and bid often.

Nope:

Yeah, except for that pesky edit timeout feature that left what really was said for everyone to see.

Huh?

So you bid $200 to wax Shermer's chest. And now what - you're increasing your bid? You must want it badly!

I'm at work. What's your excuse for being home, alone, on a Sunday night with nothing to do but post to JREF forum?

I'm at home too. Also working. Why would you go somewhere other than home to work on a Sunday?
