(SOLD) Rock Tumblers delight - Proboards fundraiser auction

Being that we are just a bunch of danged enablers (wife called me that) I'd bet Brian's resistance to getting another machine is fairly futile.

Brian Congrats on a hard fought win.
You will be having lots of fun in the upcoming weeks.

Someone had mentioned we might consider staggering shipping the boxes so they do not all come at once. What do you prefer?

That was a very sweet auction, for sure.
Be aware, that one never knows what will be in their boxes upon arrival. This is in addition to what was listed. Many members here enhance boxes with other items.
So your rock auction of a lifetime, might just cover two lifetimes.

Now somebody put some primo material up for sale in the Marketplace, I have some rock money burning a hole in my pocket!  [/quote]


Got any requests?

Thanks, Jason!

Thanks, Tela! I echo those thanks! 


Thanks, Robin! I agree that jasoninsd deserves extra thanks for keeping this one on track! I certainly forgot what was happening at times.


Thanks amygdule! Those Oregonian peas are going to be fun! My kids will finally like peas for a change!


Thank you, billdean! I can't even begin to imagine how long it would take to collect so many rocks, especially considering it would require a long trip to even find the first decent one!

 
Thanks, Garage Rocker! It really did have a lot going for it. And thank you for contributing such an amazing variety of rocks! The kids are going to have fun cutting open those thundereggs! Not to mention admiring all of those other beautiful rocks. 


Thank you, RWA3006! And thank you for tossing in those Wyoming moss agates! Those are going to be fun to see.


And a huge thanks to you, Tommy, for kicking this whole thing off! 

You got my attention from the start with those picture jaspers! And then you had to throw in those German agates and others to make it even better. It's going to be like Christmas Day each day a box arrives!



Thanks, paulshiroma! And thank you for adding so many incredible rocks! And then adding even more incredible rocks! My daughter is going to love those colorful ones. 


Thank you, fernwood, for both your contributions and making this auction even more interesting! Once the dust settles and everything arrives, I will be sending some back your way! 

I wouldn't worry too much about the post office handling boxes. Most of the boxes will be traveling a long distance and my area is still struggling to catch up with deliveries. Almost everything is taking about a week longer than usual so nothing is predictable.

Thanks, Al! I believe you on the math equation! I tried to do the same, but after a while, that equation got a little too complicated.

And thanks for your bids, too! I'm glad I didn't have to bid against myself this time! Hopefully the money raised will help support this place for a long time to come.

Let me know what you and A.J. like and I will send some of these rocks along your way, too! We really will have far more than we know what to do with and I know the two of you will put the rocks to a good use!

Thanks for the generous offer. I would suggest getting all of your material and sorting it out first and putting aside the stuff you've got to have, this might take some time with whats coming your way! When you are ready send me a PM and maybe we could trade MFRB's. I know you were bidding pretty hard in the Pet Wood auction, I could send you some of the materials that I received, also other things we have collected over the years. In the meantime rest up, the postal workers are only going to take those boxes so far.

So I lost track. $615 for how many pounds of rock?

Will do! I’m kind of curious myself.

Hmmm... this could be a fun idea for a contest. See who can guess the weight!
