i AM ONE TIRED PUPPY. My head and fingers hurt from all the figuring from 5 pages of items. We are doing good fellers and fellerettes. Keep up the good work for the kids.
Danny
Way to go everybody :clapper:
Tracy
Danny, you are one great Trad ganger. Thank you for your dedication. :clapper:
And we still have 6 days left. Come on guys lets see if we can at least double that!!
OK, everybody, time to find something you like and bid it up!
This morning I received a PM from my Friend in NE, VTm, David. It asked simply, "Having fun yet?"
After I answered it, it dawned on me that it might be a worthwhile thing to share that answer with all trad gangers following the auction progress - with congratulations to all - and this seems a good place to do it (Ya done good, Danny!)
...............................
Don't ya just love it? AND what it accomplishes? It has become such a grand effort, with so many more folks finding there are many ways of supporting even if they can't do much more than "token" bidding. On the first one there was only about two or three of us "yapping, nipping" Chihuahuas, other than the "serious" bidders :biglaugh: - Now there are more donations of items, more bidders, and more, "local pushers" :D . I hope it continues to grow. Yep , I'm having fun and I can tell you are too, my friend :) . Later - B
................................................
Doing good for folks tends to make people feel good themselves. This event does cause a lot of good feelings. We're going to crush last years record folks. Keep up the effort!
Danny YOU ARE DA MAN!! Don't know how on earth you figured that all up with five pages but I'm sure glad you did, Thanks!!
Bernie, I'd nomimate you for head auction cheerleader but you been doing it for a few years now. Couldn't do it without ya, Thank You!!
And Thank You everybody, your coming thru with flying colors!!
LOL, Doug - be da skinniest leg-ged cheer leader ever see-d by mortal man, but I thank you for the thought. :jumper:
How about Master of Ceremonies Bernie? Just can't see you with pom poms. :scared:
All we need to do to put this thing WAY over the top is for each TradGanger to get on over there and pick out one item they really want. Just one! Doesn't matter if it's high priced, or something more affordable. Just pick one out and run it on up! Don't let anyone get by with sneaking a bargain out of this auction! As it stands right now there are a bunch of things that are still way too cheap! :readit:
$39,287.00 and its barley over a day old?????????
I'm speechless.

Yep must be the FINGER...Wait till I wrap them around Border Bob"O"s and Bunny Boys THROAT :readit: I still can't spell -ookies
Cheer up, Vance, that's not as bad as not being able to eat'em (freely and without fear of retribution) :eek: .
You're right, VTm - me with Pom-Poms? - I'd look like a French Poodle with a show cut :saywhat: .
all I can say is WOW! makes me proud to be a part of this. now I gotta go make some more bids. :) remember, it's for the kids!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:
Let me try. Cookies Cookies Cookies
Did I get it right?
Definately the FINGER! :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
Wish them guys would concentrate on what they want :readit: sted of what Doug and I are so under funded peckin at :banghead: :banghead:
Hmmm... I'm afraid our sorrows are just beginning Vance :( :bigsmyl: n I was really hoping to get Bernie in a skirt and pom poms ;) Bet a picture of that would bring some really big bucks!! :biglaugh:

Well we've broke last years record now.
This is my first time at this and I'm having a ball. At least I was until I found out I was being out bid by some Doctor, guys with fat wallets, and then those who decide they can't part with their precious and decide to buy it back! I don't know what sniping is but I hope it doesn't have anything to do with a sack.
owlbait that's why it's called an auction... You bid then they bid ;)
More bids, more money for the kids, that's the way it works.
Glad your having fun and thanks for helping out.
Doug
I gotta protest - it'd be worth a lot more than that NOT to see me in pom-poms and a skirt!!!
(Though I was in an all-male wedding production once - at about age 46 - and was a hit as "Granny of the Groom". That was a lonnnnng skirt though, shawl, and kerchief - I even took my teeth out to make it more realistic - now that's dedication!!!) It was for a good cause too - abused women's safe home.
BERNIE....YOU of all people :scared: Abusing women in a SAFE HOUSE and stealing their TEETH :eek:
How many years did that get ya :saywhat:
That's still hard to swallow
Hmmmm - musta lost sumpin' in the translation :D
Any updated totals???? This is just awesome.
Vance you just made me get part of my supper on my laptop. My kids think I'm nuts cause I keep laughin at my computer. That discription of Bernie translated by you is an instant classic.
Things move so fast it is hard to total a live auction. I will try and update tonight when things slow down a bit. It is 7:55 am here right now on the 31st.
Danny
"That's still hard to swallow"~Iron Bull
He got YOUR teef too? :eek:
Killdeer
Geeze, I ain't even sure I got my own teefs now, or not, or whatever ........ :confused:
not sure of a total but if I had to guess I'd say over 50,000. the kids are sure gonna be happy. :notworthy:
OK, We are now at $52,019.00. MY HEAD HURTS,LOL.
OUTSTANDING
Danny
All you bidders are just the BEST there is. Thanks for bidding.<><
Kudos to Danny for that!!
Wow, tradgang amazing!!
Unbeleivable!! Great job to all!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
David
Does memory serve me right that last year we were pushing to reach 50 thou at the end?
Just Great in any case!!! (and 4 more days to go - even time for more item donations, bids, cash donations - you name it ) :jumper:
Danny you are awesome.....thanks for taking the time to calculate and keep us informed! :thumbsup:
we should hit 55,000 by the end of the auction!
dunno how you do it Brother Danny....heck, I ran outt fingers 'n toes in the first few minutes ! So last year TG broke 40K with a goal this year of breakin' 50K...'n there's DAYS left ?!?!?!?!?!? Do I hear 60K ??????? after all, it IS an auction !
hmmm.....maybe it's time to step 'er up, never too late to donate more items! Hmmmmm...maybe 'nuther bow cabinet....hmmmmm.
I think last year we were just shy of $40,000. We added what, $12 - 13,000 over the past two days? With nearly four more days to go I think there is a bunch of bidding left to do yet and won't be at all suprised to see this year go past $60,000. Wayyyyyy past! :thumbsup:
Thanks Danny!
:thumbsup:
Last year we raised $40,428.69.
Thanks, VTm - I guess it was 40 I was thinking of then as I seemed to remember we almost made another half thou over by the end. Makes it an even Bigger than Big effort already then. :thumbsup:
At the rate things are progressing, the goal would be met just on Miss Kim's cookies and the LDB! :thumbsup:
:notworthy:
let's shoot for a 75,000 goal. I won't be able to kick in as much as some of you guys but if we all do our best, we can do it. :jumper:
WOW :clapper: :clapper: Once again Danny... THANK YOU!!
As of 10:00 page one totaled $14452.50
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :clapper: :clapper: This is awesome!
Many Thanks Danny!!!!!!! Sure appreciated. :thumbsup:
Yes, last years goal was $30,000, and we did bust $40,000.
This year's goal was $50,000, and we've busted that.
Well done gang.....well done indeed.
The total of the last 3 years was a little over $77,000. Perhaps we can match that this year.
MAN WE ARE DOING AWESOME!!!!!! A great big thanks to everyone for all their hard work. we gotta be gettin close to 75,000!!!!!!!
:clapper:
Wow! Doug, Terry and everyone who got involved with bidding or offering an item should be darn proud. Wow! What an amazing group we have here.

Any update? I know it's a lot to ask. It's just so cool to see where we are..... :readit:
The efforts by this group never fails to amaze me. I missed out on the auction last year but have tried to make up for it this year. Great job to all involved, it make's me proud to be a part of this effort and this group.

Here ya go Miss Kim. $59,425.00 I am probably off a little, the things on the first page kept moving around and it took me a while to get past page one, then things settled down.
Danny
Geez Danny, I'm still amazed how you do it...but thanks ! Nice way to start out the day, knowing Tradgang will handily beat their goal by 10 grand plus ! Hearts are smilin' !
we should break 65 by the end of the auction!
Holy Cow!! Beyond my wildest expectations!! What a great bunch of people!!
God Bless you all!! :clapper: :clapper:
It all starts with you Doug!! :thumbsup:
We'll definitely go higher :help:
I think I can keep her tied short, Hobbles won't work on this un :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
Thank you Danny! We know it's a chore and really appreciate the effort.
Tradgangers, you have amazed me. What an awesome bunch of folks.
Oh, and Vance, I am a little scared of Sandra bidding too....she will probably want my stuff I have stashed in the back....dang. :help:
Have been a member since last year but never really looked at the site much My buddy paleFace kept tellin me to check it out and now that I have and am having a ball with the auction This is the best charity I can think of and am honered to be a part of it with what I have found so far to be some of the most wonderful and thoughtful people I will continue to be a part pf the Tradgang and hope to meet all that I can I will be going to Comton in a few weeks if anyone else will be there I would like to meet and chat around the :campfire: God bless everyone and let's raise as much as we can for the children :pray:
Do like me, Vance, highline 'er so she can't reach the wallet ! :bigsmyl:
Still going strong and less than a day left. I've been outbid on everything and am loving every minute. Oh well back over to push the numbers even higher. :D
me to v13. I hope to get at least 1 thing from this historical event, but if I dont thats great to cause it's more money for the kids. I can't wait to see this years total. This has gone so well, we might need to do this again in Nov for a Christmas present for the kids. :)
GO, TRADGANGERS!!! BLESS YOUR HEARTS. GO, TRADGANGERS!!! :clapper: :jumper:
