Hi all!
Tonight we will be trying out something new in the chat. Live auctions for fund raising purposes as a new venue to help raise the continuely needed funds to keep the CP website rockin'!  Right now funds are desperately low and needed! With Christmas just around the corner, it's a great time to get a great gift and great deal all in one swift move. We would love to have all your feedback on this.....it should be alot of fun for all. Not to mention what cool stuff you could get!! Maybe CP placer dirts with gold in every bag!   Jewelry, cabochons, rare mineral specimens, prospecting equipment, or....who knows! What might you like to see on the auction block?  Stop by tonight begining around 6 pm MST and join in. All sales will be through paypal. Hope to see you all there! CP chat room - live auction Dan -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

I'm going to try to get to the auction tonight myself. Looks like lots of nice stuff! I'm jusy getting interested in rocks and rock tumbling.
Two possible suggestions: Selling lots of rocks to tumble is one. Second have you considered making any belly ring jewelry? maybe with matching earrings? |

Thanks Faaus and Fanatic! Will be good to see you both tonight.
Give us some time to get some together, and I bet we could come up with several batches of petrified wood, and agates for tumblers for future auctions.

Hey Fanatic, ol Buddy,
You know you're gonna have to trim your beard for the earrings to show, and shaving that belly button area will be a delicate operation, so don't sneeze. I hope you can make it. I've been reading about your tumbler activity. Isn't it amazing how our interests just keep blossoming? It really makes life worth living. All the Best, faaus |

Very cool indeed.I see theres a bit of a stir about the auctions .Its really great to see the interest in such a good cause.The CP's really work hard to keep up with everything on the site. And do a great job I must add.
Another big plus about it all is if you end up with any of thier handiwork you can count on it being top notch. GOOD LUCK D. AND D. Jim |
