small $ there was always alot of entertainment and trash talking going on. Now all I hear is crickets chirping.
If any of you guys are new from last 10 or so years, you should search and read some of the old threads. I know alot of the characters have drifted away from hear but we use to have a blast with this auction. I couldn't believe it was only 3 forums with one page each. I realize it's hard times and believe me I'm not trying to belittle anyone.
You do what you feel you can. I'm just saying there is alot of fun being missed that could be had. I've met some
life long friends through this site and the St Jude auction. Not trying to call out anyone just making an observation and hope if you just don't know about how it works, you will take time to search and learn. If I knew how I'd bring some of the classic duels back up for all to read. DB

Maybe we need more like Bernie. He was a big contributor, and enjoyed the kids.

You are right. I haven't been into forging this year but in the past I've given multiple forged knives...so I need to kick it into gear. During the covid crunch, I stayed on the farm and forged a lot of blades. So if one of the guys in in charge of listings sees this, I'd like to donate another knife. This a large Rifleman's knife with stained deer antler handle more for black powder reenactments. There isn't a sheath as I don't do leather work anymore ..tippit

$7,000 pound cakes for little Miss Delany....
The story of those and MLK Corp and Biggie and his markers was great.
The auction took a hit during the 2009 years as we all know what a debacle the housing bubble was along with bank and big company bale outs. It never seemed to rebound back to the $90,000ish years. It stayed at around 30 to 50 thousand for years, then the pandemic and the economy cut it to 25 to 30 thousand the last couple of auctions.
And yes, of lot of the big donors and bidders have gotten older ans some don't even hunt anymore.
Just gotta keep striving those, the kids still need help.
