Erik, I was thinking in terms of thanking all those that sold their items since without them, the auction would still be pretty limited I believe. You are absolutely correct about thanking the members that "flat-out DONATED" their items, we should thank them at a minimum. We don't need to send a formal thank you....I was just thinking of saying thank you in the Members forum would be enough......

We haven't normally done that, the thinking being that it's kind of a member perk to be able to sell stuff at the auction and get 60% of the profit. On the other hand, those who flat-out DONATED items as individuals deserve a thanks right along with the businesses. (Thought I might be confusing that with the AGA's auction. Brain capacity still quite down these days.) - Erik -- Erik Olson erik at thekrib dot com _______________________________________________ GSAS-board mailing list GSAS-board@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-board _______________________________________________ GSAS-board mailing list GSAS-board@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-board
