ENDED-Round 2 johnnierotten auction-Buck by M. Prader

[orvet]

This is the second set of auctions for Johnnie Sample's (johnnierotten) widow Lisa. The money raised will all go to Lisa to help her with her expenses. In the last round of auctions we raised $745 for Lisa. That was outstanding! I hope we can raise even more this time!

Of course the object here is to raise as much money as possible for Lisa to help with her expenses.
We will have 5 knives up for auction this week, bid early, bid often but bid to win!

Here is how the auctions will work:

I will list the knives in the order in which I receive the pic of the knives via PM. The sellers have these knives and will mail them to the winner of each auction when it is confirmed that the payments have been received. If you want to include a $5 bill with your payment for the seller to help with the shipping, I have no doubt it would be appreciated.

1) When a winner has been declared for each auction, I will notify the winner with the address of where to send the payment.
2) For the sake of simplicity and security we are asking all payments be made by money order and made out Pay To The Order Of: Lisa Samples.
3) When I have received the money order for the auction I will notify the seller and give him/her the winner’s mailing address. At that point the seller will mail the knife to the winner.
4) At the conclusion of each set of auctions I will forward the money orders to Lisa.




This knife up for auction is from Jim (Forensic Jim).
This knife is actually your choice of either of two knives! So if you win the bid on this auction you have your choice of either of the two Painted Pony Buck Paradign bolster release autos! These knives are Made by Michael Prader. The original price on each of these knives was $585.
This is the link to where Jim has lots of great pics posted of these knives in the Advertisements forum:

I can't afford to play on this side of the street BUT this is so awesome of you Jim

Here's some pictures of these knives. This is a new model for Michael Prater (Painted Pony) and he is well known for his Buck 110 autos. These fire harder than any Micro Tech that I've owned and are just beautiful to look at. One is etched "PROTO" on the blade and the other is etched "1". These originally were flippers, but were converted to automatics and they carry a life time warranty. I believe Michael told me it was his first, but I can't swear to that. The first knife's handles are made from turquoise. The over all length of these knives is 7 1/2" with a bade length of 3".

Congratulations to Paul (Knife Nut) for winning this auction!
An awesome auction auction for an awe-inspiring knife!
A special thanks to Jim for such a great donation.

I will be sending a PM to Paul with my address so he can send the money order to me. When I have the money orders from all the auctions I will forward them to Lisa!

Once again I am astounded by the generosity of our AAPK family! I know everyone is not in a position to be able to give with such enthusiasm but when we all work together it is quite sensational what we can accomplish!
A big AAPK THANKS to the donors and to the bidders. It takes both to make the auctions successful! Thanks everyone who participated in this round of auctions! You guys have blown me away! We raised $975 for Lisa in this round!

Because of the Forth of July holiday we will not have any auctions this next week, but will resume the auctions on Monday July 8th. I will be out of town for part of the week and I imagine many of you will be doing things with your families as well. Have fun, drive safely and may the Lord bless each of you with traveling mercies!

Come on back for the next auctions on July 8th!
