We've been tossing the idea around of warming up the Forum Auction software and having a few support Auctions. Burlkraft is in the midst of creating something great for an upcoming auction, so we wanted to get things started with something else first.

I posted a photo of this tapestry awhile back. Is there enough interest in it to use it as an Auction item?

fuzzybear · « **Reply #1 on:** January 17, 2012, 02:47:08 pm »

YES!!!

Den Socling · « **Reply #2 on:** January 17, 2012, 05:19:34 pm »

I wish I had the wall space in my office.

Chuck White · « **Reply #3 on:** January 17, 2012, 05:20:18 pm »

That's a beautiful tapestry Jeff, and it should do well in the auction, unfortunately (for me) I don't have enough wall space to hang it!

Wish I did.

It should bring a good bid!

customsawyer · « **Reply #4 on:** January 17, 2012, 06:37:05 pm »

Is there a buy it now price?

sandhills · « **Reply #5 on:** January 17, 2012, 07:04:19 pm »

And does the bench go with it?

Seriously though, where does the bidding start?

scsmith42 · « **Reply #6 on:** January 18, 2012, 11:21:11 pm »

That would definitely make a great auction item!

Autocar · « **Reply #7 on:** January 19, 2012, 07:25:12 pm »

Ive watched this sence Jeff made the post and fell it would be alot of fun but after sending a few items by mail it cost alot to ship things anymore and wonder if that would kill the whole idea.

customdave · « **Reply #8 on:** January 19, 2012, 08:24:01 pm »

I think it would make a great auction item!!

. I like auctions

Dan_Shade · « **Reply #9 on:** January 19, 2012, 08:29:09 pm »

internet auctions would be better if there were chanters.

beenthere · « **Reply #10 on:** January 19, 2012, 09:27:39 pm »

We always chant when the auctions are running.

SwampDonkey · « **Reply #11 on:** January 19, 2012, 10:06:16 pm »

I may have empty pockets, but I can chant.

That tapestry should attract some attention.

Burlkraft · « **Reply #12 on:** January 20, 2012, 09:51:02 am »

I talked with Kevin at LogRite yesterday. He is building the final parts for the .......Great Forestry Forum Auction to Pay For The Pig

We will be auctioning a stool. Scott Smith made a beautiful Q. sawn oak nut and wooden screw. I have turned a massivly burled redwood round seat and Kevin is making the stand with legs. All made from LogRite cant hook material. It will be one of a kind and it should pay for the pig at this year's roast.

Jeff was just tryin' to warm ya'll up with this auction to get ya'll in the money spendin' mood. That's an awesome tapestry. I have never seen another like it and if ya collect old loggin' stuff you need to own that one for sure.

I have some partial pics of the stool, but I'm gonna wait till it's done and then post 'em

So save yer pennies and get ready cuz this piece is gonna be awesome and I don't want anyone to miss out!!!

Meadows Miller · « **Reply #13 on:** January 20, 2012, 10:15:42 am »

Magicman · « **Reply #14 on:** January 20, 2012, 11:06:58 am »

It sounds like somebody's mouth is gonna write a check that their butt can't cover. Stir folks up and this could get very interesting.

Warbird · « **Reply #15 on:** January 20, 2012, 11:10:46 am »

I like the tapestry and will bid on it as a gift for a friend's home. The Mrs said it doesn't fit our decor although she does like it.

Regarding the stool, I will definitely bid on it. BK, any idea how you are going to be able to safely ship it should, say, someone from Alaska be the high bidder?

Patty · « **Reply #16 on:** January 20, 2012, 11:19:57 am »

Warbird, Burlkraft will be the first to tell you that he and UPS are pretty tight.

SwampDonkey · « **Reply #18 on:** January 20, 2012, 06:49:38 pm »

Just hope the auction item isn't a box of turnip seed, masquerading as the family jewelry box. I'll spare you the story behind that. But there was a lot of laughs at that auction.

Chanting is something BeenThere picked up in the early 70's while he was at Berkeley protesting

Jeff · « **Reply #21 on:** January 23, 2012, 11:11:26 am »

I'm going to go ahead and start the auction up for this tapestry this evening.

If you are interested in bidding on any upcoming auctions, you might want to get registered at http://www.forestryforum.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.pl or if you are already registered, use the get password function to make sure you can use your account.

This Auction software is completely separate from your forum login. You have to be registered with the auction software. This is available to guests as well as members.

again, the address auction is http://www.forestryforum.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.pl

POSTONLT40HD · « **Reply #22 on:** January 23, 2012, 11:30:57 am »

Jeff, if it's on here I did not see it. Will PAYPAL be used or another method of payment?

Thanks!

P.S. This might turn into something where you will need a full staff around the clock!

Jeff · « **Reply #23 on:** January 23, 2012, 03:00:44 pm »

You can pay by what ever method is convenient. Paypal is probably the most convenient for me. Shipping can't be figured until we know where it's going anyhow.

D Hagens · « **Reply #24 on:** January 23, 2012, 03:48:12 pm »

Jeff I filled out the form about an hour ago, I'm spose to get a confirmation mail but nothing.
Should I fill it out again or will this screw things up?

Jeff · « **Reply #25 on:** January 23, 2012, 03:50:39 pm »

If its not sending you mail, then you won't be able to use it. Everything revolves around being able to know when you have been outbid.

POSTONLT40HD · « **Reply #26 on:** January 23, 2012, 05:04:41 pm »

My password came up in seconds.

Jeff · « **Reply #27 on:** January 23, 2012, 05:08:22 pm »

I've checked the server mail queue and there are no unsent messages in there and there are no kick backs either.

Radar67 · « **Reply #28 on:** January 23, 2012, 05:11:39 pm »

He may need to check his SPAM folder or the Junk Mail folder.

Me thinks it's a hotmail screw up, hotmail always seems to make my mail go sideways when I'm on the water.
I went to change my e-mail address to something that works but I'm thinking you might need to do this for me Jeff.

sandhills · « **Reply #30 on:** January 23, 2012, 07:41:37 pm »

So we have to register a new handle and password for the auctions, correct?

Jeff · « **Reply #31 on:** January 23, 2012, 07:48:15 pm »

Correct.

You can register with the same one you use here if you want, in fact I would encourage it so your fellow members know who is bidding against them, The auction software does not use the forum username and password. It is a totally separate program.

Jeff · « **Reply #32 on:** January 23, 2012, 07:49:06 pm »

BTW the auction has started, there is a link at the top of the forum.

So much for getting in on this one

Din'tcha see the one posted by Magicman?

WDH · « **Reply #37 on:** February 03, 2012, 10:04:05 pm »

That one is no mystery

Burlkraft · « **Reply #38 on:** February 04, 2012, 09:50:59 am »

I have heard from Tamiam and the legs for the stool are on the way

It won't be long now!

Jeff · « **Reply #39 on:** February 04, 2012, 10:01:03 am »

I looked at that wrong twice. I thought we were going to get to auction Tamiam.

Legs

Somebody is gonna get in a buncha trouble over this.

Jeff · « **Reply #41 on:** February 04, 2012, 10:51:03 am »

Yea, you are.

Jeff · « **Reply #42 on:** February 04, 2012, 12:33:12 pm »

If any of you are interested in, or know someone that is, I'm going to start putting up my collection of toy log trucks for the Forum support auctions. Many of them are wooden, some quite old, some quite large, and all quite cool

If you don't already have a toy log truck collection, this will be a good way to get started. I went to the storage unit and brought back 3 big boxes of collectible "Stuff" that should make for some interesting auction items.

No sense in this stuff setting in storage year after year.

Tamiam · « **Reply #43 on:** February 14, 2012, 09:33:14 am »

It appears as though I need to spend more time on the forum - everybody's talking about me.

Auction my legs?! You think you could get anything for them?

Burlkrafts right, wait and see the legs I sent him - much better.
