Hi Chad,
You Know I was thinking...Giving Simplydiscus part of this auction is great and I Really Appreciate the thought here.. Funding our two forums is definetly not always an easy thing as we both Know.:(

Both our Forums try to help the community in our own ways... so in the spirit of this I was trying to think of a way that both our forums could help the community here.

If it does not offend you here...I would like to Donate all of that 20% from this auction back to all our members...in the form of a Donation to NADA on behalf of DAAH and SimplyDiscus.com.. That money could do a lot of good there.


What do you think?

Jessieits only one write-off, the orig value (not that it anyone's business but hans)

[brewmaster15]

Its doesn't really matter.. What matters is Hans Donated fish to the Hobby by helping Out Chad finance his forum... Chad was willing to donate some proceeds here which helps the hobby... and we Inturn decided to help the Hobby by passing that along to NADA.

Its good for everyone all around and the Hobby benefits.. Its a good feeling for me.

Theres no need to over analize. Somethings are better left just at face value.

Thanks Again Hans, Chad , and everyone that bid on the pair.
