[Scotsurf]

I'll Start at £5.00

[seasofcheese]

Good man!! thanks Griff...

[mister-griffster]

nice one Scotsurf - currently highest bidder at 24p and issue - come on peeps - you can't even buy loo roll this cheaply!

who's gonna step up and make a difference to some kids lives??

[mister-griffster]

Bids are still on £5.00 for 21 issues with Scotsurf being the highest (scratch, only) bidder - come on people, surely we can do better - do I hear 50p an issue?!

[mister-griffster]

Still on £5 - any takers?! c'mon, a quid an issue and as many issues as you want - pick a number, pay a quid (+postage probs 50p an issue if ordering a single issue - cheaper postage on multiples?) - Scotsurf - you get first choice on any issues mate...

C'mon chaps, priced to clear - let's get some money in so Timmy's Trust can do some good and help those kids - some of whom may not make it to see the end of summer!

Just one little quid can make a hooj difference!

[Scotsurf]

Come on guys, I know things are hard and cash is tight but what's a few quid? I will donate 10% of any sale on here to http://www.timmystrust.org/ starting with £18 from the fish I sold yesterday. I stand by my £5 bid and bump this to the top. Come on let's start a bidding war for this worthwhile cause, I don't even want the mags so if you out bid you can have them and I'll still pay my £5.

[mister-griffster]

Now THAT's what we're talking about! Good man Scotsurf - Props to the spirit of donation!

[buttholesurfer]

I'll bid £15 ... as long as the pages that involve longboards aren't stuck together!

[Chai Wallah]

I will throw in a brand new 100% surfing techniques foc to the winner

[buttholesurfer]

I'll throw in the DVD - Be Cool Man. So someone please outbid me or I'll win 'Surfing Techniques' again!

[mister-griffster]

Awesome work Guys!!! That's the spirt!

OK, So we have 21 issues of Surfers Paths, a copy of Be Cool Man DVD and a 100% Surfing Techniques - and if no one is biting on the other DVD's as yet I'll chuck in Land of Saints (awesome Cornish surfing - now deleted - so rare!), Billabong Oddysey and Laird I'll also throw in a brand new Rip Curl Classic Logo Tee in Navy, size Medium

Butthole stands as the leading bidder at £15 - PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE BID - not only are you helping kids to achieve a long held dream in their short life but also you'll be sparing Butthole from winning '100% Techniques'- TWICE!

And I'll guarantee that the longboard pages are as pristine as all the others - maybe not the September Issue's Reef Girl - but otherwise all sparkling!

Come on Guys - dig deep - if we can reach £50 then I'll cover postage on ALL items! - and if you can't raise the cash for this bit of loot then joint bids are welcome - all this stuff deserves a good home! (If you can't donate cash then donate a little something, even a bar of wax will help to raise the stakes)

[buttholesurfer]

I'm in for 50 quid... On condition butthole has to keep the surfing techniques DVD

Lol... I'll smuggle it into your van when your not looking!

[Poo Stance]

Any chance of selling me Seaworthy on it's own?

Sorry. Don't have the money or space for t'other bits.

[buttholesurfer]

Any chance of selling me Seaworthy on it's own?

Sorry. Don't have the money or space for t'other bits.

Sorry, winner gets the lot. I would of but Ears put a bid on after I posted.

[Poo Stance]

Da nada hombre. Maybe the winner can sell it onto me...

Am I being silly or is this an eternal auction?

[buttholesurfer]

^^^I think Grif will have to answer that, it's his thread.

[ears]

Hey Poo Stance.. If i win the auction you can have seaworthy by making a donation to the trust... (I've already got a copy somewhere..) That goes for the anything else in that lot as well.

Also remember folks butthole needs as many copies of 110% surfing techniques as he can get..

[Poo Stance]

Cheers Ears I'll be waiting (patiently) until the end of the auction.

I think I've got a copy of 110% too should butthole require another.

[Chai Wallah]

I have two copies of 110%, so I can give one to the winner and will donate the other one to Butt when I next see him

[buttholesurfer]

^^^you guys are so kind! NOT! I need more than a surfing technique DVD... need swimming lessons first...now if someone could donate a set of arm bands?

[mister-griffster]

Am I being silly or is this an eternal auction?

Not being silly fella - I hadn't set a close date as everyone was snoozing - now we've livend things up a bit then think it's appropriate to set a finish date - how about we go with Dixies 'auction end-time theorem' and save it for the end of the month? that way it coincides with payday etc etc.... Maybe we can make some noise / get prize donations / monetary donations along the way? IF anyone has anything to contribute - ESPECIALLY if it's another copy for 100% Surfing Techniques then it would be greatly received and go to a good home - Especially if Butthole wins In fact, lets start another auction - solely for copies of 'Techniques' to be sent to butthole? I reckon he'd pay a grand to see that back of those

So to recap, the bid stands at £50 by Ears and the auction is currently for the following items;

Mags
21 issues of Surfers Paths

DVD's
Be Cool Man
Seaworthy
State of play
Young Guns 3
Dane Reynolds- First Chapter
Melali- the Drifter Sessions
Searching for Michael Peterson
The Endless Summer
Thicker than water
Land of Saints
Billabong Odysey
Laird
100% Surfing Techniques

Clothing
Rip Curl Classic Logo Tee

Surf Kit
Scarfini glass/honeycomb thruster fins

Have I missed anything?? - Chai, as our leading accounts clerk - what's that little lot worth so far?? - I also have some other bits and pieces / odds and sods around the place - I'll see what else I can add....

So fellas, remember - please bid generously - if you can't bid then do the next best thing and spread this links around your mates etc - stick it on facebook / twitter - blog about it - do whatever you can and remember to put a link to http://www.timmystrust.org - make some noise about the Trust. Oh, and you ALL must no some kindly surfshop owners / reps etc - if we could get them to chuck in a few bits and pieces then that would be GRAND!!

To ALL who have contributed so far - a massive thanks!!! - well done chaps

The bid's on £50 - do we hear £60?.....
