Countdown To Lockdown: A Pretty Decent Auction
Posted: Oct 4th 2011 By: CMBurnham
Yes, I am setting up a pretty decent auction, with 100% (minus mailing costs) going to help out Vermonters suffering in the wake of flooding caused by Hurricane Irene. This might not be my very best stuff, like the Cactus Jack leopard boots and Hell in a Cell shirt, since that type of auction reminds me of Daffy Duck playing the harp, having emerged the victor in the big bump contest with Bugs Bunny ? acknowledging Bugs?s accolades; sadly saying ?I know, I know, but I can only do it once? on his way up to heaven. Still, this is going to be a good auction; it?s going to raise some money for some people who really need it, and it?s going to show the wrestling community in a favorable light ? which is always important to me. With the exception of a couple of big items, like the Survivor Series vacation package, most of these items should come in under the $100 mark, making them a possibility for far more fans. Wait, check that ? the historic Foley Juggalos ICP jersey I wore for this past Gathering might bring in some serious cash. One might have to be a Big Money Hustla just to get his/her hands on it! Yeah, I know, that was weak.
This pretty decent auction is a small part of a much larger fund-raiser that Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are holding on October 9th in Burlington, Vt., with the hope of raising $100,000 for those in need of help in her home state. People who follow me on Twitter probably know I am a huge fan of Grace and the Nocs, but despite my enthusiasm as a fan of their music, I was most struck upon meeting them by what a kind and genuinely caring group of people they are. I think this gesture from us wrestling people will mean a lot to them..and IT meaning a lot to THEM will mean a lot to ME?and IT meaning a lot to ME, might mean a lot to THEM. I think you get the picture. For more about Grace, the band, or the Vermont fund-raiser, go to @gracepotter or www.gracepotter.com
I?m not going to donate the money through Missionfish this time, even though the RAINN auction went very smoothly, and I liked having the charity icon and the credibility that Missionfish afforded us. But there were extra charges involved, and the transactions took a month to get to RAINN. With this auction, I want to be able to simply write a check for the exact amount we bring in (minus those mailing costs) and have it where it needs to be as quickly as possible. I hope that by this point, I have enough credibility to be trusted to do the right thing when I say I will ? besides, I?ll put a photo of the official bank check up on Twitter or the website. So got to?My daughter Noelle will be running this auction for me and might still be slightly shaken from witnessing that ?I Quit? match with @TheRock , so cut her some slack. Unlike last month?s home visit contest, this is not a raffle, though I will definitely be taking part in some big raffles in the future ? one of which I hope will be a dream vacation to WrestleMania. But the cool thing about auctions is that if you really want something, there?s nothing but money and common sense holding you back from getting that item. So bid high, bid often, win big, and help some people who need it badly.
