Title: Forum Fundraiser Auction -- Mecco Holsters
Post by: DDGator on February 02, 2011, 11:52:11 PM

It's forum fundraiser time again!  Woo hoo!

This time it's holsters for auction.

Robert Mecco of Mecco Pocket Holsters has donated two beautiful R-9 holsters for auction here on the forum.

Holster #1:  A Double wing sharkskin pocket holster.  This holster retails for $190.

Holster #2:  A lined and stitched IWB holster with spring metal belt clip.  This holster retails for $115.

So here is the deal.  This is an auction.  You bid by replying to this thread.  Please specify which holster you are bidding on, and the amount of your bid.  The last, highest bid noted on this thread for each holster by 9pm forum time (which is E.S.T.) on Sunday, February 6, 2011 will be the winner.  Payment can be made to me by money order or PayPal.  I reserve the right and discretion to resolve any disputes.

Minimum bid for Holster #1 is $100.  Minimum bid for Holster #2 is $75.  Please bid in increments of at least $5.

Experience has shown that minimum bids are rarely a problem, and that the winning bid never comes down to the wire.  ;)

Thanks again to Robert -- and good luck!

I have never tried an IWB for the pup, and I don't care for IWB with larger guns, so maybe it's worth a try.

I'll start with a $75 bid on # 2  :D

I was wondering if lefties can get in on the fun?

The pocket holster is basically ambidextrous!

The law of averages says we do better on an auction with right handed holsters!

$115.00 on holster #2 with the clip.

I would be remiss if I did not personally express my appreciation to Robert for donating those two outstanding holsters in support of the Forum and also extend congratulations and appreciation to both KJ and RB for their winning bids. Well done, all!
