pledosophy Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Has many of you know we recently lost one of our own. Brandon has passed at the young age of 36 after multiple brain aneurysms. He is survived by his wife Sheryl and a young daughter Jenita. Known on the forum as Thumper, Brandon was always willing to help people out, and was a great member of our community. To honor Brandon PNWMAS is going to hold an auction starting Sunday the 1st. A special forum will be open in our classified section. Anyone who would like to post corals or equipment for auction is welcomed to. All proceeds from the auction will go directly to Brandon's family to help with the over whelming expenses they face. This is really a time for us to come together as a community and do something good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I have some decent stuff that will be getting fragged up asap so healing can begin. Excited to do something good for one of our own. This group has always been so good to help out others, it is exciting to participate in an effort like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Is there somewhere we can drop off donations that will be auctioned off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 That would actually be really helpful. I was planning on coordinating one meet/drop with people to avoid multiple 2 hour round trips. Its a good thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thanks again Jeremy for agreeing to organize this. Let me know what you need me to do with my donations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pledosophy Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Is there somewhere we can drop off donations that will be auctioned off? The way this one will work is a bit different. Basically everyone who wants to donate items will start their own thread in the auction forum. After each items time is completed the buyer and seller can work out details on picking up the goods. Think how the classified section works now, just add the auction part to it, and that the money goes to the Kennedy family. If there are sellers like Mandinga in Newburg and many buyers in Vancouver, we can try to work out one person picking stuff up and bringing it to a region. Let me know what you need me to do with my donations. When the auction forum opens on Sunday, go ahead and start a thread with a minimum bid and let the fun commence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Great, makes sense! This will be easy to participate in. Made a bunch of racks last night with my daughter, we finally have room to make a few frags and have somewhere to put them!

badxgillen Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 That would actually be really helpful. I was planning on coordinating one meet/drop with people to avoid multiple 2 hour round trips. Its a good thought. I agree with this statement as it would make things much more organized\simple particularly for the buyer as pick up distances and times can be difficult sometimes. Maybe a person or two with an established system for frags\livestock with general pick up times. Maybe a drop point, I know Garret used to be down with holding things for a short time, I know I would not mind holding some items if need be or if convenient. Great, makes sense! This will be easy to participate in. Made a bunch of racks last night with my daughter, we finally have room to make a few frags and have somewhere to put them! I think he said it will be this Sunday so there is not much time left with work,kids, and the tanks...Go Go Go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Here is an outline of how it is planned to work- 1. The poster can put up any reef related item for auction, we recommend a time period of 7 days. Please make a new thread for each item to be auctioned. 2. The winner of the auction will pay their bid price to thumper7813@gmail.com, (Brandon's Paypal which his wife has access too). They can then show that receipt to the seller when they pick up their item. 3. Details on picking up or shipping of the item are to be worked out between the buyer and seller. If you have not filled in your location in your profile, please put it in your post when selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClark Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Gotta be at least 40 frags! Some really good stuff, and some good bread and butter stuff. Should be allot of fun. Just think, you get to feel even better about buying coral for a good cause! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spllbnd2 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I am willing to bid on a few of the corals that people post. I am in Edmonds, so I would be willing to pay shipping if you're not local to me. Cheers, Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
