Title: Hedley Holster Auction to Support Forum
Post by: DDGator on June 01, 2005, 10:47:39 AM: R.J. Hedley, one of the original members of this forum, has graciously donated a holster for auction here at the forum!

This is his Model RB - F/S ~ Rohrbaugh R9 Front Pocket - 4”W and INCLUDES a matching pocket mag carrier (not pictured).

(http://www.hedleyholsters.com/images/rohFP.jpg)

You can view this holster and others here:

http://www.hedleyholsters.com/rohrbaugh.html

R.J. will ship the holster directly to the winner.

Now... the RULES. I would have liked to have done this as a raffle, but the Great State of Florida views that as an unlawful game of chance... ??? Therefore, we need to do it as an auction. Bid by replying to THIS THREAD only. Bidding will close at 9pm EST on Sunday, June June 5, 2005. The Forum time listed on your post will be controlling. Higest bidder wins. Payment can be made to me via Money Order or PayPal. Proceeds will support the forum and its technical staff!

This is a $70 value. Just for fun, we will start the bidding at $25...

Good luck. I will answer any questions about the auction and R.J. can answer any questions about the holster.

Post by: Richard S on June 02, 2005, 07:46:11 PM: If for no other reason than to atone for my typographical error in keying in "$110.00" when I intended to bid $120.00 against Brenden's earlier $110.00, I'll see Billmack's $135.00 and raise it another $10.00 -- $145.00.

When A guy bids in an auction it is sometimes the "unknown" that wins!!

First post was on this auction.. ;)

I believe I may be overmatched on this as I do not think I can do over 230.00 at this time.. :o ::)
Title: ,Re: Hedley Holster Auction to Support Forum
Post by: RJ HEDLEY on June 05, 2005, 11:06:21 PM: Well, Gator seems to be away from the "Store"..

It looks like Brenden has it... But I'm going to let Gator call it..

That was fun, and good for the Forum,
Thanks to all...
Title: Re: Hedley Holster Auction to Support Forum
Post by: DDGator on June 05, 2005, 11:15:50 PM: Brendan, assuming you meant to bid $230 -- you are the winner!

Contact me by PM or e-mail when you have a chance and I will get your shipping info and arrange payment.

Thanks Brendan, and thanks to EVERYONE who bid -- a very nice gesture by many of you. The response was overwhelming! And, thanks of course to RJ for making the auction possible. Now HIS work starts!
Title: Re: Hedley Holster Auction to Support Forum
Post by: logical on June 06, 2005, 08:36:45 AM: I see quite a few who, in addition to our winner Brendan, were willing to pay $100 and more above the cost of the holster in order to support the forum.

I hope not being the winner doesn't stop any of us from tossing a chunk of cash in the collection plate just the same. I'll go first.
Title: Re: Hedley Holster Auction to Support Forum
Post by: Richard S on June 06, 2005, 08:56:48 AM: I agree with logical. Look for my check, Duane.

Also, congratulations to Brenden!
