Looks like a bumpy ride....to the top of the forum, that is.
Maybe others can chime in with some funny anecdotes or at least jokes about chris selling off his worldy possessions or something, to help get the word out his auction's started.
I think it's only 6 days, so it's important for people to be aware, especially since the weekend (where the auctions will be coming into the home stretch) won't get much viewing of the thread. Bump it early and often!

if we win, do we get to choose which of the three charities the proceeds from our auction will go to?
i vote for the central asia institute, been a supporter of them for several years now.

Chris - Funny, as I was riding the subway this morning - VERY MUCH near time you made that post - a similar idea occurred to me! Not that S/Topo should do group charity auction, but that in general group auction for charity might be an interesting concept. Guess I caught your thought wave.
I think it's a great idea. Who knows - with some volunteer effort(to help with all the work involved in setting up auction/answering queries, promoting, etc., as you mentioned), it could be a really wonderful thing.

shipping AND handling. Cost of preparing the package, going to get it mailed off, etc.

AWWW, some people would complain if you hanged em with a new rope.
And in the internet, SOMEONE will complain about ANYTHING, so, just forge ahead with your auction and don't worry about the shipping, or the shipping charge complaints.

What's this doing way down at the bottom of page 2??
Getting down to the bidding war zone... Some items are ending in about 20 hours, other 1 day 15 hours.
When closing time comes, will the Taco go silent as people furiously try to snag the last bids? Is anyone using one of those stealth auction software programs that snags the winning bid at the last minute?

I have taken it as my duty to bump this thread again. Just in case anyone hasn't seen it. The countdown is on - some items are 10 hours from ending.
Remember, it's not just about getting some booty, but also to help support the causes Chris chose.

Bump for the last minute bidders!
Auctions are closing left and right, with the final one in about an hour.

Just scored a couple of great items and all for a good cause. YCA, Central Asia Institute and of course, the Access Fund are all high on my giving list.
Thanks Chris!

I got my goodies almost instantaneously! I love this auction idea and am looking forward to the next one.
I definitely went over my limits a tad, but that's a good thing... and helped bid up a bunch of other stuff too.
At the end of the day, it's just "stuff", but it's nice knowing that the acquisition of material things is going to help out some folks who can really use the help.
