Email or PM mailing address, please. Thanks!
 
not a bad idea, gang. and by gang, i mean jerry.

huh?

as soon as the time, place, etc are decided, i am in.

ditto on putting "Bladeforums" in the title of the auction- would make it much easier to track and search for your bidders.
 
This is going to be great. Putting BLADEFORUMS in the auction title will attract the forumites as well as give good publicity to the forum itself...I can't wait to see all the cool stuff that will be put up for auction...
 
Count me in. It is the least we can do for being part of the largest knife resource on the net and the most enjoyable place to be in after work.
 
First off, let me say thanks for the generosity of the people who have volunteered to step forward and do something like this; especially to Jerry for leading the charge.

Honestly, I hate asking people to donate to the site, and really don't feel comfortable with accepting charity from anyone. I'm reluctant to put in banner ads, or restrict the site to paying customers only, but the facts remain that anyone else would probably have packed it in long ago. Especially when faced with yet another $10,000 in server bills in addition to our standard rack & bandwidth fees. The memberships almost cover our rack & bandwidth fees and I feel that that is a fair trade for the services we render, so if you have a membership, you have my utmost thanks for your support.

Unfortunately, the reality is that BFC operates at a sizable loss that comes straight out of my pocket.

Jerry Busse, Busse Combat & Swamp Rat Knives have volunteered to provide several knives for auction, which will be listed when they arrive. The auctions will be held on eBay, and we'll ship off the knives to the winners. As more knives arrive, we'll auction them off. Proceeds will go towards upkeep of BFC.

If you are a company representative, or knife maker, and are interested in donating a knife / knives, please feel free to do so. Ship them to:

BFC / Twelve Bravo
340 Production Court
Louisville KY 40299

Please include relevant information about the knives (length, weight, blade material, item description, etc) - we'll do photography of them in house.

So, let me reiterate how much I appreciate you guys chipping in to help keep this site open. Ideally I'd like to see all the manufacturers contribute a little something, but that's up to you guys.

Thanks again for your continued support throughout the years, it's been you guys that have made this place #1

I'm going to lock this thread and post a new one that I'll sticky at the top of this forum, along with announcements throughout the site.
