I'll try and help ya keep it, Shannon!!!! If I win I'll just take the book and you can keep TMSG (Mine is somehow much more handsome than yours!!! LOL) God knows what you endured to get it and what a great sport you were/are about it all.

Alas, I have been outbid for now!!!!

Edit: However, Bear MUST be included for my daughter!!!!

Shannon

I love these two items, but ... it's for CHARITY!

And don't forget, the THPS has a BRODART PROTECTOR! ;)

These are quite rare and both are difficult to find nowadays. Back in the days of snail mail, sure, they could have been found easily enough. But now, whew ... I was lucky enough to have found both of them, but now I am offering the world the chance to purchase both of these obscure items at the same time!

But again, you gotta beat me first. I am currently high bidder. Yay! :)

EDIT: Hey Merl, Amber says if you win you can keep the TMSGTHPSB! (The Mist Snow Globe/Thomas Holdorf Pet Sematary Bear) lol, I like that I just named a stuffed bear, lol.

Holy Dog Balls.....$125.00 and counting!

Whatever RF doesn't make on the RTB Limited, he's making up for it here.....

I'm gonna' sit back and enjoy this one!

Randall Flagg
04-09-2012, 06:26 PM
Don't sit back, bid $900.
We need to find out what the dollar amount is to make Shannon capitulate.

Brice
04-09-2012, 06:31 PM
And TMSG goes on to become the single most expensive item in collecting history. :lol:


j/k, of course

Shannon
04-09-2012, 06:43 PM
Capitulate: To make Shannon cry.

Merlin1958
04-09-2012, 07:51 PM
$141.50!!!!! Damn Shannon, you're on your own from here on in!!! Good Luck!!! You better put in a $200 max bid if you want any chance of keeping it!!!

Just remember, mine is still better looking and gets way more girl-globe's than yours!!!! Of course he has the H20SG as his wing-man!!!

Tell ya what, Shannon. If this auction eclipses $225.00 I'll throw in the H20SG as a bonus. How's that sound?

Shannon
04-09-2012, 09:57 PM
Deal. You just sold me a very expensive snow globe. Thank you! :)

Brice
04-10-2012, 05:23 PM
I am guessing he is saying this cause he can't buy it right now. :P


Oh, and I hate to disappoint, but apparently the line is drawn at TMSG. It is not for sale. :lol:

I just wouldn't have the heart to take Shannon's away. He would cry...FOREVER. I'd just end up feeling bad and sending it back.

04-10-2012, 05:55 PM
While I sympathize with your thinking, the hell with Shannon he put it on the line!!!! Love him as I do, at this point I gotta do him!!! LOL

04-10-2012, 06:19 PM
Wow.......

Whatever may have been "lost" as a result of the "less expensive" Haven Auctions, the gap is more than being made up for here.....

CRAZY!

Shannon
04-10-2012, 06:25 PM
You can have it Merlin, I give up.

Shannon
04-10-2012, 06:27 PM
LOOOOLLLLL, just kidding.

Shannon
04-10-2012, 06:33 PM
Hey, MEANIES! Thanks for the thoughts, but the TMSG and the THPS are up for grabs. Go for it! It's anyone's game.

And by anyone, I mean mine. :)

AKC
04-10-2012, 06:50 PM
You guys gotta' give my friend Shannon a break. $187.50! Seriously?

All for the Benefit of the Foundation I guess......

Shannon
04-10-2012, 06:51 PM
No breaks, I'll bid against myself, I dun curr! :) :)

Shannon, if you win/lose, I will send you TMSGD (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?12279-The-Art-of-Harrison-Ryan&p=675184&viewfull=1#post675184) in congratulations/memoriam...

Shannon
04-10-2012, 07:05 PM
That is such a nice gesture, thank you! I think it should go to the winner of the auction though. It's POSSIBLE POSSIBLE POSSIBLE that I might not win. Like ... if I get possessed by an alien that is allergic to snow globes or something.

I'm sorry for my part in the silliness.

Shannon: Nope, I can't do it.

Anyone wanna bring this into the $200 range? I tried to talk Mr. eBay into letting me bid against myself, but he ignored me. :(

Someone just shanked you. You better bid $300+ or your sending them away....

Shannon
04-11-2012, 05:04 PM
Yay, $200+!!!

Crow-Man, there is lots of time left, no rush. :)

Randall Flagg
04-11-2012, 05:53 PM
<---------------Crow man says "TMSG is coming to me". I feel bad (no I don't) about someone taking this from you. You can however "save" them by bidding $400..Other than that just package it up carefully and prepare to ship them.

Brice

I wonder if there are any collectors unfamiliar with this site looking at this auction thinking wtf? about the how high this has got with days left in the auction. :lol:

AKC
04-11-2012, 06:02 PM
There are collectors that ARE FAMILIAR with this site that are saying "WTF" regarding the price of this auction...

That would be AKCCCCCCCC

Poor Shannon is going to end up having to sell his whole King collection to finance his purchase of his own TMSG/THPS. :rofl:

FWIW, if I do indeed win it I think I'm gonna let Shannon keep his TMSG, but I want that freaking bear!!!!

Merlin1958
04-15-2012, 04:05 PM
OK. Shannon? Keep TMSG, THPS and remember that I'm your Daddy!!!! Then send the Bear!!! I'll PM the address if you don't have it.

Congratulations! PMing you later about details. There's no way I'm letting you walk away with only a big bear. PM when i get back tonight.

Congratulations again!

Nah, its fine Shannon. I just want the Bear. It will be named "Jean" and go to my daughter. However, who's your "Daddy"? LOL Say it, Shannon. Say it!!!! LOL

Pretty damn cool of you, Bill!

Yeah well, I'm cool like that for an "Old Fart". Couldn't see taking such a treasured item from a guy who was doing the right thing by the charity. There will be plenty of opportunities to screw with Shannon in the future!!!! LOL Of course, he continues to not have a H20SG, which is my TMSG's wingman!!!!

Thanks to all for your kind comments, but be aware that the reason I go nuts for this every year is for the memory of my nephew Micheal Bender who died of CHF in 2009 at the tender young age of 21. The Shriner's Hospitals kept him alive and rehabilitating until 18 years of age. So, if my commitment to his memory moves you in any way please make a donation of any amount to the Shrine Hospitals. They are a superior group of individuals who do nothing, but help children!!!!

Yeah, it was I imagine!!! LOL Also, Shannon is a pretty amazing guy!!! He took a LOT OF CRAP over TMSG and never blinked an eye. Then he donated the damn thing for the Fundraiser!!! He is a very "special" member and I am proud to call him "my friend"!!!!

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

OK let's not get too gushy here! jkoc

Shannon
04-17-2012, 06:38 AM
No, more gushing, more gushing! Lol. I wanted to donate something rare-ish for the fundraiser. As far as my BFF Bill is concerned, he opted out of the TMSG/THPS/TMSGD/bear combo, but chose his replacement item wisely. It's headed out today friendo!

Ricky
04-17-2012, 02:14 PM
You guys are nuts. :lol:

Congrats (I think), Bill! You are very generous, indeed.

Merlin1958
04-17-2012, 07:53 PM
Many thanks for the kind comments, but it's not about being "generous". It's about, IMHO, helping those in need. The quote that inspires me is "No man stands as tall as when he stoops to help a child". In general spirit that's a great philosophy!!!! All the members here seem to exhibit it in one way or the other as evidenced by their constant support for the fundraiser!!!!!

Everybody needs to pat themselves on the back for another wonderful effort for the benefit of charity!!!

:thumbsup::thumbsup:




Oh, and "Ricky"? Yeah, I'm certifiable!!!! LOL LOL
