Seeking Items - Donations for April Levergun Hunt

86er · Post by **86er** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 4:20 pm

As usual, I am going to host an auction for the April hunt. AmBraCol is working on the possibility of auction software for on-line items. We will also have some items "live" at the hunt. Whatever funds we collect from auction items will go towards this forum. If there are any cash donations we will use some of the money for a good purpose that will be presented by the members present at the hunt. For example - we might buy an Easter dinner for a poor family or purchase a household item for someone in need. Anything extra from cash donations will go to the forum. Let me know if you would like to participate by posting up your thoughts here.

Thanks!

Joe

100 Air Cooled C358-180RF Bullets Checked, Sized & Tumble Lubed (Lee ALOX) - or As Cast... Winner's Choice.

FWIW, I have the 100 .358 Sized/checked/lubed bullets packaged & ready to ship (Priority Mail... $5).

I have to cast some more if somebody wants As Cast...

How do you want to do the Bidding Joe?

rjohns94 · Post by **rjohns94** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 6:08 pm

OI, I will bid on them.

86er - I will send a custom knife, a holster for a sig 220, a sling or two if I can locate them and perhaps some other stuff.

wonder if we can get this as a sticky.

For "heavy" stuff like my Bullets or Tycer's .25ACP stuff... do you want that shipped to you, or held for Drop Shipment?

Seems like Drop Shipment would be better if the recepient isn't going to TX in April...

86er · Post by **86er** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 9:57 pm

In response to OI's question - your choice.

Tycer - I'll bid on the 25ACP set. My Dad has one I gave him.

OK... Winner's choice. I'll Drop Ship to You (the Winner) or send it to TX for you to pick up.

Just make sure I have at least 3 business days warning...

Are you taking the Bids or how is that working? I'm sure Mike wants to know...

86er · Post by **86er** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 10:22 pm

If Paul doesn't get the software up and running we'll take bids by forum on the day before the hunt. Those traveling to the hunt can log-on when they arrive and out bid ya if they want something.

piller · Post by **piller** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 10:30 pm

Joe, I will donate a brick of Aguilla Colibri .22 quiet rounds . Can I just bring them with me to the hunt?

86er · Post by **86er** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 10:41 pm

Piller - Bring 'em!

Andrew · Post by **Andrew** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 11:26 pm

I have several hundred peices of once fired .38spl brass I didn't get around to sending to the last auction that I would love to send this time.

Griff · Post by **Griff** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 11:40 pm

Joe,
1979 signed (in two places) copy of Madis' The Winchester Book. I think I picked it up at the '80 Great Western Gun Show @ the Los Angeles County fairgrounds... signed there by George. Let me know, I can drop it off between now & next Wednesday.

86er · Post by **86er** » Sat Jan 31, 2009 10:27 am

Griff - PM'd you with home address, etc.

Keep 'em coming! Very good start!

rjohns94 · Post by **rjohns94** » Sat Jan 31, 2009 9:51 pm

I"m going to go broke on this auction, i see that coming - .38 brass, .357 bullets, midas books. holy cow!

J Miller · Post by **J Miller** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 11:05 am

Joe,

I'll donate a couple pairs of my custom cylinder bags. I'll get them out as early next week as I can.

Joe

86er · Post by **86er** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 6:53 pm

In order to collect on each item and get it out to the recipient here is what we've decided:

Send all items to me prior to the Leverguns Safari in April.

I will ship them to the highest bidder for the amount of bid plus actual shipping cost.

(Buyers may want to consider the shipping costs if bidding for a heavy item or if a bidding war starts and you are paying high dollar for an item).

I can receive PayPal or checks by mail or in-person at the hunt.

Thanks very much!

bsaride · Post by **bsaride** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 7:20 pm

I'm working on a box or two to send out. Likely ship at the end of the week.
So far I have various boxes of ammo, pistol rugs, hot sauce, some reloading
components but still need to sort out my stuff and see what else I can send.

1886 · Post by **1886** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 7:43 pm

I have a Mitch Rosen open top holster for a 4" Smith Mountain Gun or 4" Ruger Redhawk. Belt slide style from the express line. Color is Cuban Brown. Excellent, like new condition. Paid about $80.00 new. Let me know. 1886.

If that will fit a S&W 25-5 4 inch, I'll bid on it.

Mokwaw · Post by **Mokwaw** » Tue Feb 03, 2009 10:21 pm

I will put in an RCBS APS HAND PRIMING TOOL, the one that uses the strips. Strips are avail from CCI pre-loaded or the bid winner will need to get an RCBS strip loader. Hurts my arthritic hands too much to use any more, going to replace it with press mounted APS primer tool. Will get it in the mail some time this week.

Sent out Monday 2/9/09 priority mail to Rockwall. Should see it soon.

Rick, I have had a Smith 4" .45 Colt Mountain Gun and a Ruger Redhawk 4" in the holster. Both revolvers fit well. I am not much of a revolver expert but I do believe the gun you are referencing and the Mountain Gun are identical in size. Perhaps one who knows will chime in. Thanks, 1886.

What were the results of the stuff we donated last year? I never heard a thing about it, either way.

rjohns94 · Post by **rjohns94** » Thu Feb 12, 2009 10:28 am

Joe,

Sent to you this morning via USPS the following:

1 Uncle mikes holster for Smith N frame 5-6 inch barrel

1 leather right hand cross draw for SAA with 5 1/2 barrel, made by our own Travis Morgan

1 Galco leather paddle holster for Sig 220

1 Leather military sling, 1 " width

I BP powder flask for pistols

2 horn powder measures.

1 small, custom sheath knife.

If Paul doesn't get the software up and running we'll take bids by forum on the day before the hunt. Those traveling to the hunt can log-on when they arrive and out bid ya if they want something.

I would like to complain about the above policy. Not sure thats fair for people bidding on items not to have a fair bid process where all can have the same chance of success. Whats the chance the software will be up and running ????

86er · Post by **86er** » Thu Feb 12, 2009 11:51 am

Agreed - we'll all bid. If necessary I'll create a proxy system with a minimum bid.

alnitak · Post by **alnitak** » Thu Feb 12, 2009 12:36 pm

Joe, there's a couple of items I'd like to bid on as well. If you remember from August, I was an "active" participant in the aution (i.e., spent too much money!). If the online software doesn't get up, be sure to leave me your phone number so I can get in a last minute bid for items I really want. LOL

OI, I know you offered up 100 of the bullets. Would you consider doing multiple lots at the winning bid?

The chances are pretty good.

Right now I've got the other server down - along with over a dozen sites.

No, I'm not a happy camper right now. Anyway, I've not had a chance to poke around on the new server much (that's where the forum is hosted) and I'm not sure what it will take to set something up here. BUT I can set up something on the old server - once it gets back up and running. Either way, we should have some auction software set up by then. Thanks for y'all's patience. It's been a madhouse 'round our place since before Christmas...

Within reason... I will have to cast them up and that takes some time/scheduling.

Joe has the first 100 ready to go..
