Once again I'm posting this for Matt Menke, who is wrangling the rest of Charlie's collection:
Silent Auction for Charlie Bacon at 12 Midnight on the Friday of Spring Thaw 3/31
Da Rules:
For those not in attendance, you’re welcome to participate via RB PM’s. Calling my cell will make me very cranky! I can accept your bids if:
- The RB member PM’s their name and cell, and gets a bidder number ahead of time
- or PM’s that info plus the item #(s) and bid amount(s). Your bids will be anonymous per your bidder number, multiple bids are welcome.
- and have a friend present at the show who can accept the item on your behalf, or arrange ahead of time to otherwise complete the sale.
I’ll pick up all the bid sheets at midnight and check them against any RB PM’s that are time-stamped BEFORE midnight EDT. I’ll do my best to update current bids on this thread periodically through the show- this is not a high tech operation. There are no set bid increments; winning bid will be $1 above the second highest bid regardless of the max amount. In the event of a tie, my coin toss will settle the winner. ‘Heads’ goes to whose last name is earlier in the alphabet. I will text the winners’ cell #’s after midnight as soon as I’ve cleared my PM inbox.
Payment: Please pay by Venmo, paypal ‘friend,’ cash, or check from folks I know personally.
All proceeds go to Charlie’s widow, Ann. No Buyer’s Premium :-) These are quirky, interesting, impossible to price, and/or hard-to-ship items that everyone will have a chance to acquire. No need to be wealthy or have the ability to miss days and days of work to be first in line.

Re: CHARLIE BACON silent auction details at Spring Thaw
Here's the show flyer, and the auction is for these ~7 lots pictured. The rest of Charlie's stuff that I'm bringing (crowns, bottles, signs, tabs, books, weird stuff) will be traditional show fodder. Canvention CAN be fun and good, but this show is ALWAYS fun and good!
Better to drive 950 miles and kick asz than go a thousand miles and get nothing.
