I really appreciate this but it's very unnecessary....I would not feel right taking anything.
Thank you all for being such great friends though

Nicole,
Use the money to "replace" some of the kids pets -- or take your family to dinner or whatever you like...

It's a done deal -- if they bid, you will get the money.

We want to help, so please let us!

I think you should use the money to start a fire fund here at RTB.

crush · #5 (**permalink**) 11-22-2006, 04:45 PM

In that case you are the first recipient of the fire fund. It is hard for any of us to take anything we understand that. There is no shame in letting people help. You take that money and take the girls out and let them pick something out. It will also show your girls that there is love and care in the world. Show them how people come together in a time of need. When this is over I want to see a picture of you and the girls with a smile holding what they or you pick out.

I will bid $100 to Nicole and Family.

crush · #8 (**permalink**) 11-23-2006, 12:52 AM

Come on lets go. I remember alot of people out to help Nicole heres your chance. If ever there was a good reason this is it.

THANKS for the bid and encouragement Crush!

For everyone who said they would help Nicole... you can look at it this way: Bid $100+ and you'll get a free computer. Give it away to someone and you've created TWO big blessings for others.

IF the bid tops $124, insured shipping will be FREE.

IF the bid tops $149, I'll match the entire proceeds (up to $200), CA$H -- with the matching funds going to RTB.net for whatever purpose Shane sees fit.

How's that for incentive?!?

THANKS Louise!

For those who are intersted, simply reply here with your bid amount.
Remember, the auction ends Saturday night.

louise · #12 (**permalink**) 11-23-2006, 04:52 PM

with thanksgiving and the holidays i think the auction should go for at least a week. people are busy right now.

crush · #13 (**permalink**) 11-23-2006, 05:24 PM

$125.00 from Me.

CharlieJ · #14 (**permalink**) 11-24-2006, 03:02 PM

THANKS again Crush!

Louise, I set the closing date at less than a week because I'm sure Nicole could use the funds before Christmas. Considering a closing date of Saturday and a week for payment, that would put her receiving the funds at around December 2nd.

If it's OK with everyone, I'll extend the auction deadline til Monday night at 9:00pm EST. Give me some feedback folks...

crush · #15 (**permalink**) 11-25-2006, 01:42 AM

Thats fine with me.

Red-Tailed_mustang · #16 (**permalink**) 11-25-2006, 01:46 PM

$130.00

CharlieJ · #17 (**permalink**) 11-26-2006, 04:36 AM

Red-Tailed_mustang, Crush and Louise, THANKS for the bids. We're at $130.00 folks. Shipping is now free!

You've got until Monday night at 9:00pm EST to bid!

The money goes to Nicole, who had a fire in her home -- and lost many of her animals. It's the time of year for giving -- so bid if you can.

CharlieJ · #18 (**permalink**) 11-28-2006, 02:25 PM

CONGRATULATIONS to Red-Tailed_mustang!
He won the computer auction with a bid/donation of $130.00.

Red-Tailed_mustang,
Nicole will contact you with a mailing address for payment. The total is $130.00. Please also PM me with your shipping address. I'll ship the computer as soon as I hear that payment has been received by Nicole.
