Ok. I thought I would bump some stuff I haven't seen bids on yet...
Auction on David's book "VORTEX" is now OPEN for bids.
Exciting climbing and drug adventure set in the Cascades. This thriller was inspired by a true story which has become part of mountaineering folklore. Two climbers on Mount Redoubt, on the US-Canadian border, stumble across a crashed light aircraft with a dead pilot, an injured survivor and a cargo of cocaine. Hardcover, DJ, New. Winner of the 1990 Boardman Tasker Award, original hardcover edition!
This book sounds excellent and Dave says he has a couple of copies so bid it up people!
No starting bid or auction end date as of yet.
Briham is doing bike tunes..
I'm located in San Jose and am a professional bicycle mechanic. The going rate for a tune up around here is $75-$90. If you donate $50 to Big Mike I will do a full tune up on your bike. I have 7 years of shop experience and run my own mechanic business out of my garage / turned bike shop. Get your bike dialed and help a fellow taco member.
This just in has some moto x kicks for sale!!
Alpinestars Tech 8s Motocross boots, size 10. I wore them maybe four times. Starting bid is $120.00. I'll pay shipping and highest bid pays to Mike's paypal. Bidding ends, sh#t I don't know.
Nature has a deal on sushifest tickets!!
Send Mike $40 and you get a free night at a SushiFest of your choice....
Also send me $30 for your second night (so this is limited to those buying in for two nights).
In fact.... I'll do this three times.... One spot for each SushiFest this year (or next year - but only one per event).
And yes... SushiFest is normally $30... so... if you're in for two nights for the one in 5 weeks you can empty your wallet even further and finish reserving your spot. /end cheap shot
Then there is this Neebee original!!
it MAY BE an heirloom someday:
it is from the sister of chappy--well known rock climber...
and the sister of walter chapman of chapman designs, in los altos...
OH--AND, neice of the late ellen walters, of the cleveland museum of natural history, in ohio, :)
edit: forgot THIS is 11 by 14
Climb2ski will clean your carpets and send all the money to me!!!

No kidding. If he rises to the bait the first thing I'd ask is whats his liability policy like and is he serving Itchy bum noodles!
Jim already offered two days in Indian Creek or the Black Caynon + dinner so it seems pretty feasible..

Donini started an independent thread for his magnanimous offer of guided climb and dinner.
A wise move as it will help keep it front and center for maximum effect. I may do the same for the philotoons and phartwork. ???

Not sure if anyone will be interested, since I'm on the east coast. However, if anyone needs carpentry work/maintenance on their house within two hours of Concord NH, I'll donate two full days of work to the highest bidder. Materials covered by the bidder.
My normal billing would be $600 for two days, so this could be a smoking deal for anyone who needs some work done.
Just throwing it out there...

I received one of Bruce's incredible prints (14/20) as a wedding gift 30 years ago and it always enjoys conspicuous and proud placement at the Chateau Beckham.
It's a remarkable piece that reveals one of bk's many hidden talents and runs completely contrary to his reputation for minimalist disarray and the well deserved moniker "Captain Chaos".
Truly a noble savage and renaissance man.
Bid up on a treasure!
