Ebay - Chevy truck widower selling their whole lot

[MotorSeven]

Well Guys & Gals, i went to see Dawn yesterday evening. Man, she has a ton of stuff, the pic's Bill posted did not do it justice. Unfortunatly, it is to much for me....logistically-wise. It would require multiple trips, at least 3-4 days of moving parts/trucks. Then the sorting/storing. It is just a big project & i have to pass on it.
But(But you say?), Yes but, a feeble idea has somehow crept into this pea sized brain. What if Dawn picked a weekend & had a 67-72 Chevy Truck Flea Market. A few of us that are close could go there there on the Fri before, drag the stuff out and help her tag/price it. Then Sat & Sun, help her sell it & help load.
We could advertise it on Craigslist, here, & some of the other forums. Heck i think that word could get around quickly if we put our minds to it. This way she gets her $ and gets to see the stuff go to those that want it in a weekend.
And while we are there i would like to come up with a way to get her trailer under-pinned. She got ripped off by a local who removed what she had, took a deposit then vanished. Winter is comming & pipes will freeze if that does not get done. She needs help with other things, but that is on the top of her list. Anyway, y'all kick it around........

Okay, here's a link to:
The eBay auction basically Dawn's fund drive. I've got it set up in $10 increments, so buy as many as you can afford. For those who can't quite afford the $10 and would like to give less, please just mail it to Dawn direct. Her PO box address is listed in the trucks for sale section here, about the second page I think.
Like I mentioned in my earlier post, when you buy one, leave me feedback with you forum name mentioned in the feedback, and I'll do the same for you. I listed it for the max of 10 days, so it's ends Sept 9th. Let's see if we can help Dawn out.

MotorSeven, I didn't mean to skip over ya there buddy. I like your idea of a get-together. If you TN folks can work it out, I'll do my best to make it too. I'm about 4 hours away.

Hey guys, just a quick note.... wanted you to take a look at something click here
And if that link doesn't work, go to eBay and in the search box type in 220275273973
I know, I know....your mom's gonna be mad. But, there were people here wanting to help her out and couldn't really figure out a good way. So, I set up this auction for donations. Obviously, I'm not selling a picture of your mom's truck. Who would pay $10 for an emailed picture? It runs for 10 days, and at the end, I'm gonna send her a money order and all the names of the forum members who donated.
take care,
Bill

I am up for making another trip back to her house, and you are right, she does need that trailer underpinned. I believe we might even be able to get some free advertising on the radio stations down there to promote something like that.
