Feel free to delete this post once it is figured out. Just trying to think out loud.

I'd like to do the auctions here alone, but the exposure is dramatically better on eBay.
We will post all the eBay auction links here, so folks here can check out the stuff available every time they stop in to Toyz or check on the charity thread.

But if folks don't want to got the EBay route (understandable!),
then doing them here alone is fine too.

Like we did it in the past, we can post whatever item you want to donate here (include some pics!) and folks can bid on it over a week's time. When the week's up, the highest bidder wins.
Once Bob receives the funds (please, if you donate you need to specifically mark what item it was and the amt.), then Bob or I can email the person who made the donation to go ahead and send the item to the winner.
If you bid, you must bid in the thread itself so all can see.

Oh yeah JB, "set-price" is cool too if folks want to do that,
tho' an auction usually is a lot more fun!

You guys are awesome for doing this.I love this place!

It would be a great thing if we could postpone some gear purchases for a while and get Bob some money. Medical billing is the most insane thing in the universe.

What I think is best is to start a new thread for each auction. All auctions on Ebay...and all payments goto

b0bsweet@bellsouth.net

this way there is no doubt where the money is going etc....

Our auctions are gonna take a week to start since we have some cool things planned and we just started today....

If you want to auction stuff and dont have time, ebay account etc...lets us know...

Where can I send a card with a little something added?

It is great that all of you are doing this..........

Im working on getting Bobs address or po box...hang tight...next few days

I spoke (well email) with Bob once and he was a really nice guy. Hope you better Bob, lots are pulling for you!

You can beat it Bob. Prayers and PayPal sent.

Hey Guys and Bob,
I have a busy day today. I'm heading to Columbus GA for a 'kickoff' meeting with one of my (insurance) companies, I'll be speaking with the head of the Cancer research and treatment center (the company has one in ATL) this afternoon---I will see what I can do about getting Bob some assistance.

Hold on to your LUGNUTS, it's TIIIIIME FOR AN OVERHAUL!!!!
When I get back, I'm auctioning my FULLTONE SOUL BENDER AUTOGRAPHED BY ROBIN TROWER AND ERIC JOHNSON FOR BOB!!!!!!!!

Dosmun had a good idea, collaborative project so to say, and we planning a little something to help out.
Might be a few weeks yet, but we're in.
So glad Dana thought of it.

Come on, let's get tons of things happening here guys!

I just wanted to share my personal Bob Sweet story.
My wife offered to buy me a Mojo Vibe last Christmas. We ordered it too late to have it delivered on time. It did, however, arrive during the week after Christmas. When I opened it up, I noteced it was dated 12/25/07. Originally, I thought it was kinda cool that my Mojo Vibe was built on Christmas. I assumed he was just killing time before the day's festivities. Now I realise that he was trying to get as much work done as possible, to pay his bills, or keep his mind off things, or some other reason I haven't thought of.
God Bless Bob Sweet!

Sent my modest paypal donation...

If I can contribute or help you guys in your projects to help in anyway let me know.

I've posted a sticky in the Effects section of The Gear Page and linked back to this thread so it can all be centralized.

Kudos to Teddy for setting this up and getting it organized. It's the right thing to do for the right reasons.

Willie that would be a total home run for Bob,,,, what he really needs is some Catastrophe type insurance so the money raised could go for the really high premiums instead of all the raw bills ------ good luck bro !!!!!!

Way to go Scott!
Thanks so much...

If I post an auction on ebay and ask them to pay to Bob's paypal address, how will I know if the person paid?

Bob,
I really sorry to hear about your illness.
I'm sure you can beat it, though!

Keep your spirit up and take good care of yourself.

You've got my prayers and a bit of help sent.

God Bless,
Gil
