BACK FROM THE DEAD - 2005 Dancing Man Lamination Peel

[Steveqld]

This has gone a bit higher than I thought it would.  I'd just like to remind bidders that it doesn't include my wife, house, car or motorbike.

As per the original post I'll be donating all proceeds to charity (probably Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia).

To ensure the highest bidder is happy I'll mail the coin off to them before payment is made.  They can then have a look at it in the hand so they know exactly what they're getting and if happy they can then make payment.

Ok. $48.

thanks accums
for the auction info

I shall stay away from the auctions as I have done so since I joined
I don't need to get anyone else more confuddled than what I am already!

[Steveqld]

And all bids are in.  Many thanks to the bidders.

I'll PM Markn and post a copy of the receipt from the Prostate Cancer Foundation when finalised.

Fulvio ..... procrastinate now!
PS: Steve, congrats on a great auction!
Well done Markn!!!

[Steveqld]

I want to sell my home to Markn.  He certainly "bids with confidence".

Hehe.. I was considering going $49.99 just to get him to $50, but time was too short and I really didn't want to pay that much myself.

Yes they are fabulous and that's the site I'll donate through under the "How you can help PCFA" tab.  Hopefully they email a receipt.

Prostate cancer is a killer. A lot of websites state it is benign and a sufferer will die of old age before prostate cancer is advanced enough to be a worry. NOT TRUE!
Take the common statement "he died with prostate cancer, not from prostate cancer" with a grain of salt.
It is not a nice way to go -I speak from experience.
Please take it seriously.

I helped out a mate with newly diagnosed ca of pros. last year with that web - site
it was great!

Back home after a fabulous week spoiling my granddaughter rotten and repaying my son for the years of anguish he caused me.

Mark and I made arrangements for a store credit instead of exchanging funds for the winning bid.  So I've upped the donation to $60 and divided it equally between the National Breast Cancer Foundation and the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia just to be gender neutral.

JeffH's statement "It's a killer" applies to both as well as many other insidious diseases.  A lot of it comes down to the genes and our lifestyle but the one thing we can control is our regular checkups.  Do NOT put them off as early detection can influence the outcome.

Everyone deserves the pleasure of a colonoscopy at least once in their lives not to mention the pap smear or DRE.

Thanks everyone for their involvement, especially MarkN, and the proceeds will benefit worthy causes.
