Loved it Jesse, and hats off to you for facilitating this and to Matt Polk for his generosity. I made mention to you in private for another fundraiser that may be nice as well, but I will keep silent on it so as to not jinx things.

Personally I like the "sealed" bid method, nice touch with the daily updates too.
Kudos to F1, Matt Polk, and the winners for stepping up, nice job!So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

I cant believe I snagged a high end pj for $150 as the bulb is worth more. Most xbox games are 720p and composite or vga connection decreases lag times so its a win win. I think however I may make my nephews dreams come true by giving this to him to pair up with the sony htib and xbox360 he got from me for his christmas, throw in an old pj screen and that little guys got it made.

Congratulations to everyone that won, except for the winner of the Sony. May the dung of a thousand camels rain on him and his!!
Kidding of course.
F1, I enjoyed it and you need to make sure that Mr. Polk understands that we expect this to continue until his house is empty.
Great cause and thanks for taking it on.

Thanks a million Jesse, Matt Polk, and all the players.

And thank you also, George Grand, for all the selfless work you've put forth.

Open bidding might have net higher bids.
I can't think of why that would be. Nothing was invisible Jesse did a good job of updating where all prices were at so its not like complete blind bidding.
Great job Jesse!! -

Thanks Jessie, we appreciate all you are doing for us on this.

Not surprised...here's an example- If I had known the high bid on the item I was interested in, I would have easily doubled it.I can't think of why that would be. Nothing was invisible Jesse did a good job of updating where all prices were at so its not like complete blind bidding.
Great job Jesse!!
This was a great thing. I do hope more opportunities like this arise. If for no other reason than to be able to say I have a piece of gear from Matt's house. Thanks again Jesse! Looking forward to the next round.Too much **** to list.... -

It was run kind of like eBay in that you don't know what the high bid will be, so you bid what you're willing, sit back and see what happens.
Anyway, I appreicate your thoughts and your bid.Political Correctness'.........defined

It would be incredibly difficult to keep posting bids, in the last hours, to keep a current number on each item. I was thinking it would garner higher bids if the bids were posted in the thread, not unlike ebay. I think it went great and is certainly a good thing for Githens, as well as the winners.
Quick question on the concept as it were...Say a person bid 500 bucks and the next closest was 150. Would the high bidder pay their max bid or just the increment difference between the high bid and the next closer?

Attention auction winners, I was finally able to catch up with Matt and he has agreed to sign your stuff. This will happen as soon as he and I figure out a good time, but will absolutely happen within the next 2 weeks.Political Correctness'.........defined

HAHA! 
Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."![:\](https://forum.polkaudio.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....
