Folks, here are a few pens that I would like to auction in an attempt to boost the funds that Lou is collecting on behalf of Eagles family.
Here's how it works. You can make a bid for each lot right here. If you would prefer to remain anonymous or you are not a member, then you can email a bid to me via my web site.
Winning bidders will Paypal directly into the account that Lou has set up. I will post the lots as soon as the funds have been received.
I will pay worldwide postage.
I plan to keep this open for one week so please tell your friends to have a look and make a bid.
None of these pens are masterpieces, but perhaps enough to get some interest. Please dig deep!!!:D
Lot 1; Golden Dawn. Stainless Steel and PR. Parker style refill

Lot 2; Aluminium Pen and Nutty Stand.

Bummer! I just gave all my money to Lou. Sure love that fountain pen though. Don't think all the money I had would get it for me though. Hopefully it would not have gotten any of these.
 
I'll open the bidding on lots 1,2 5 and 6 @ $100.00 each and hope to see them go for 3-4 times that
 
First. Thank you Jeff. ;)

Second. Some great bids there guys!![:0]

Third. Dawn, if you win, will you be pushing the price of my PR up?[}:)]
 
Looking Good!!!! :)Everyone knows that this is for a great cause, so keep them coming please.
I think the latest is;
Lot 1; $200
Lot 2; $200
Lot 3; $400
Lot 4; $205
Lot 5; $150
Lot 6; $200

I'll start putting names to the highest bids as we get closer to cut off
 
......of course, if things get out of your league then you could visit Lou's special Paypal account and drop off a few Dollars, Pounds, Rands, Yen, Euro's, Swiss Francs.........[8D]

at Eagle@heritagepens.com ;)

BTW......if things get a little quiet in here, I have a secret weapon up my sleeve[}:)] Don't make me use it:D You'll be sorry!!!:D
 
Great. Now I have to confer with SWHTPS and see if I can get Authorization to dip into the reserve funds. [}:)]

Don't feel too bad Mike, I've NEVER sold a pen:)
But as long as I give the boss one every now and then ( I mean a PEN !!! [}:)] )she lets me spend money.

"you bid $205 on a PEN!!!" [B)] Well, at least I got Jon up to a respectable amount even if I don't get the cool pen. [^]
 
I think this is the latest high bids. [8D]

Lot 1 $205
Lot 2 $200
Lot 3 $400:)
Lot 4 $210
Lot 5 $150
Lot 6 $220

Please keep them coming;) Pretty Please? I've polished them all up and I'm trying to find nice boxes for them too. If the bids get high enough, I'll add some 'provenance' to the boxes;)

I sure hope to see these pens all hit the $400 mark. Everyone of Skip's pens are worth every penny and it is for a good cause. I know we are all pinching those pennies these days with the cost of gas, food and everything else going up. But if anyone can manage to up the bids on these even a little bit I know how much it will help Lynn during these trying times. I have had to lay my mother to rest at a young age, totally unexpectedly and that is the LAST time that you want to have to worry about silly things like money. I know it doesn't compare to the loss of your husband, but it does tell me a little of what this time must be like for Lynn.

Good Luck Bidders, Know that you are getting a wonderful item and helping a beautiful person in the process.

Guys, the prices have gone quickly out of my league for now, so I can't bid....


That being said, if that blue cobra pens sells for under $400 Skiprat is getting hosed!!!!

LOL Matt,:D I actually enjoy a good 'hosing' now and then!![}:)]

Remember that it is not me that is suffering;)
 
Nice one Peter:D

Update is;

Lot 1 $205
Lot 2 $200
Lot 3 $415:D
Lot 4 $210
Lot 5 $150
Lot 6 $220

Lets see if we can follow Peter's lead and keep the bid steps bigger than the cost of a cheeseburger[:eek:)]

Next update will have names:)
 
This is just a pure shame...

With the current echange rates and you are going to let England's master pen crafter's pens go to a bunch of Yanks. [}:)]:D[}:)]
 
Yanks??? Did someone say Yanks??? Are you allowed to say Yanks??
Isn't it derogatory to say Yanks?? Heh, I LOVE Yanks!!!! Well, most Yanks;)
er ok some of them, er ok, ONE of them,:D

I have to be REALLY careful here cos Im not sure if it was Mrs or Mr and trust me, you don't want to mess with Mrs!!!!![B)]

But you have to remember that there only about six ENGLISH penmakers.:D Half of them are on the dole, the other half are illegals and can't post.;) The majority of the pen makers come from Bonny Scotland. Now you know what they say about the Scots!!!! ;)It's not true but it's fun to say:D


Now comes the next problem[8D] I don't live in either of those countries and neither am I a master pen crafter. Just the one with the loudest mouth[^]

So, pray tell, who is this English Wunderkind:D

Alas did I say from England? I dare not my friend as I do know the difference between Wales and England. I say England as a lad of your talents should not be confined to just Wales. Me thinks you are lost in Wepre Woods! :D
