[Chase]

Isn't that funny...starting bid......$60,000

[rvrtoy]

I don't uderstand..Do you think $60K is to low or to high with no reserve??

[Chase]

I am making reference to the "***boat rule" that any boat for sale on ***boat starts at $60K

[riverroyal]

you expecting to get for it?just curious

Oh Ok... :idea:

[rvrtoy]

As much as we can. Those kids deserve it.

[ULTRA28]

I'm kind of hoping it doesn't sell. I want this one for myself.

[riverroyal]

reserve?can you just bid on it yourself then give the money to the charity!

[ULTRA28]

reserve?can you just bid on it yourself then give the money to the charity!
There is no reserve on the boat, but we put the opening bid at $60,000. I'm just kidding about not wanting it to sell. I want to raise as much money as possible for the charity.

[HCS]

Isn't that funny...starting bid......$60,000
There is no other price. :rolleyes:

[Rev. Williams]

$60K ?? I'm already out of the bidding !! :D Perhaps you could add a link here for the broke folks (like me) that would want to donate a bit less to this charity??
P.S I didn't ready anything in the options about the new 3 screw-hole gas tank :D :D :D

We are just testing those right now. Maybe standard in late 2006 or 2007 :rolleyes:

[slink]

Who gets to keep the first 60Kof the bid? Ultra or OLN

[GrapeApe]

I would imagine that will go towards Build Costs.. Items that weren't Donated & Labor..

[cxr133]

Steve, You just love keeping me busy this time of year. :D

[rvrtoy]

I love keeping you busy ALL year!! ;)

[ULTRA28]

All of the PBR money went to charity other than the $15,000 that Kompolt charged to do the auction on E-bay. We did not use Kompolt on this one to enable us to give more to charity. The $60,000 is to cover a portion of the costs to build the boat. Ultra Boats made no money on these boats and did not charge any labor. Many people helped with sponsoring items on these boats, including Extreme Trailers, Eddie Marine, Boat Bling, Arc Audio, and more.

[azgfboatgirl]

I love keeping you busy ALL year!! ;)
Remember Christmas is coming up and I will be taking a vacation!! :cool:

[NashvilleBound]

I hope you guys raise a ton of money...till then I opened the bidding.

[ULTRA28]

Thanks Jeff. Maybe nobody else will bid on it and you'll get a hell of a deal.

Yeah, you're not the only one that had problems with them. I really think that is why they didn't get reserve on the boat.

[rvrtoy]

Remember Christmas is coming up and I will be taking a vacation!! :cool:
I will have a stack of work for you when you get back!! :notam:

[rvrtoy]

I hope you guys raise a ton of money...till then I opened the bidding.
It would be nice to see someone from the boards get this boat. :)

[MagicMtnDan]

No kidding. :rolleyes:

[2Driver]

Perhaps you can find a place for that $420 Coffee maker in the boat. :rollside: :rollside: :rollside:

[NashvilleBound]

John and Steve..... You guys are doing a great job....its a great cause, but I should wouldnt mind scoring a smoking deal.... John...you stay away from bidding!!! ;)
2Driver: did we get our latest espresso machine from you? I thought it was more than $420....

[rvrtoy]

Perhaps you can find a place for that $420 Coffee maker in the boat.
Wow...thats like 100 Starbucks coffees...my wife would have it paid for in about 2 weeks time :D :rolleyes: :cry:

LOL....actually 2 years ago I bought the Startbuck Athena machine for my wife with her saying she would give up the 2 mocha a day habit....and make them at home. That worked for like 6 months....at best. Wellllll, a newer machine comes out and she promises once again...so far so good since Sept....but I am almost sure it was almost a grand. Now that I will hopefully be a 2 boat family maybe I should give in a little............maybe;)

Wow, they really took advantage of you. Sorry to hear that. That is just wrong, especially when dealing with charity.

So did the PBR boat end up staying semi local or did it go to another sate? That was a great looking ride. Hope to see it on the water some day...

I was checking out the Ultra on e-bay and saw your bid history hence all the other stuff you have bought and sold on e-bay and thought it was worth the comment :p Perhaps next time we are in Nashville we will skip Starbucks and swing by your place for cup of Joe. :)

[BarryMac]

Hey John, that young kid is a spaz, If you ever need a replacement spaz I'm your man, I can spaz just as good as that little spaz does... :)
J/K, saw the NASCAR show last night, the boat turned out terrific, I have some #8 and #48 goodies that I'm gonna send you, make sure Leah gets that #48 stuff, I'll be calling her to check on ya... :D :D

Everytime I bid, instantly outbid :mad:

Everytime I bid, instantly outbid :mad:
That's why I cant do eBay. I'd get pissed and put in some figure to say F you and get stuck with the item at too high of a price because of the whole bidding war that I had to win.
Bump it up to $73k. I think if we both combine our kids money, we can get them the boat together.

Sounds good, just need to make a schedule when we use it. I prefer the days that end in "Y" :cool:

fasterfasterfaster is probably sitting at 73000. Do we hear 74000?

[rvrtoy]

You know in most cases I can finance up to $150K on this boat O.A.C.
So if you are interested in bidding just fill out the credit app at www.ultraboats.com and I can get you pre approved. :D

I am going to make this the most bids ever on e-bay....1 penny at a time. :) :) :)

[HocusPocus]

I am going to make this the most bids ever on e-bay....1 penny at a time. :) :) :)
now thats funny!!
i am tempted to bid.. but if i won the thing, i would need to cash out some of my home equity.. then i would have to live in it after the wife booted me out. :crossx: :crossx:

[rvrtoy]

I am going to make this the most bids ever on e-bay....1 penny at a time. :) :) :)
As long as you don't pay in pennies!!

[Magic34]

That's awesome. Keep it going NB. Good luck and get this damn thing.

[NashvilleBound]

Why, if you intend on winning this item, would you possibly bid before the end of the auction? You're simply driving up the price of the item to yourself, if you win. You also draw people into emotional bidding wars when you constantly outbid them. Bid once, in the last couple minutes. If you win, you win, but I guarantee you, you'll win at a much lower price than if you starting bidding with 10 days left.
Its a good cause slim.....I dont mind playng a little bit.....besides, I have probably saved as much as I "might" spend on this boat since I left CA just on not going to the casinos...... I know how e-bay works....its a short learning curve...but thanks.

[Garrddogg]

fasterfasterfaster is probably sitting at 73000. Do we hear 74000?

[NashvilleBound]

Its a great boat but the seller has no feedback :crossx: :) :)
Really, how can we trust this isnt some scam....I mean, I've heard some pretty crazy stuff about this "boat guy"..... :) :) Course if it was his wife putting on the auction I would feel more comfortable...from what I have SEEN she's a tough one;) :rolleyes:

[H20 Toie]

[Magic34]

What the heck hapened? I got a weird email from eBay.

[Mrs. Bordsmnj]

I was just checking it out to see what the bid was at and its been pulled. :confused: What happened????

[JetBoatRich]

:crossx: Why was it pulled

[pjones]

What the Heyyyy?

[ROZ]

what the heck happened?

[redi4fun]

The Sound Boys did it!!!! :crossx:

[ROZ]

The Sound Boys did it!!!! :crossx:
Guess they got their HB street cred :D

[AZKC]

Probably a similar deal like what happened with Nascar helmet, they had to yank. Then it came back through on a new auction with someone policeing the bidders.

[ClownRoyal]

I think they thought they would get the $150,000 or close to it. So what if a bunch of Nascar drivers signed the boat. Big F'n deal.

[rvrtoy]

I just recieved an e-mail that stated that we violated ebays "charity auction " policies. I am looking into it right now!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

[AZKC]

The Ebay Gods can be lil biatches for some of the dumbest reasons :rolleyes:

[pjones]

How much of a policy would they need?
People bid, product sells, proceeds go to charity.......hello?

[572Daytona]

The policy is posted here:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/fundraising.html
Here's a snippet from that:
Sellers may only list items for charity without eBay Giving Works if they:
Are soliciting on behalf of recognized tax-deductible charitable organizations (for example, 501(c)(3) status or equivalent with the IRS).
Receive advance written consent for the solicitation from the benefiting nonprofit.
To verify you received permission, you must include a scanned copy of the consent in your listing. It must appear with the nonprofit’s letterhead, signed by an officer and include the nonprofit’s tax-deductibility status as well as your name or eBay User ID, dates of event/listings, and donation amount (percentage of the final sale price).

[rvrtoy]

We need to scan a copy of a letter that gives us written consent to auction this boat for Victory Junction. We are working on that RIGHT NOW. I am trying to get the auction reinstated right now.

[NashvilleBound]

I just got the same letter......must be late cuz I'm way out in TN..... will the bidding start all over?

[rvrtoy]

I have the letter in my hands and I am trying to get the auction reinstated. :argue: I would hate to have to start this thing all over again. :mad:

[rvrtoy]

E-bay will not let reinstate the auction. I have to relist it with the authorization letter from the charity which I have in hand. I will be relisting the auction tonight and posting a new link as soon as I have it.

[rvrtoy]

The new auction is up and running. Sorry for the confusion. It is a short auction. It will be ending Tuesday, December 6th at around 5:35pm Pacific time.
