RTH benefit auctions - proceeds go towards general expenses of the forum, including monthly subscriptions paid to Proboards for ad-free and file attachments. Boxes 1 and 2 were generously donated by Frank accidentalrockhound, box 3 by Jim wampidytoo. Please post bids on individual boxes or all three - and keep your posts as simple to read as possible so I can keep track of it all. Paypal only please. Edit: Auctions will close somewhere around 8PM PDT Friday 9/8 - when I say "closed" Shipping will be added on is $6.45 per SFRB - if someone ends up buying all three I think I can fit them all into a MFRB at $12.40 BOX #1 - tumbling rough (opening bid $5)  BOX #2 - slabs    BOX #3 - Misc. goodies (opening bid $5)  Good luck everyone and thanks again Frank and Jim for your generosity - everyone please bid equally generously and remember it's all for a great cause - the benefit of the forum we love.

I suggest this be extended for another week in hopes of generating more interest.

I have no issue with continuing for another week. I had not expected to win with that low of a bid.

Anyone looking for stromatalite (sp) that is what is showing (slab and rough) in box #3. Solid and takes a nice polish. Not positive but I think the slab has one side polished.

I'm willing to go $20 on box number 1.
Sounds like "Let's make a deal"
So, who gets the "zonk"
