gpuma Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 why don't we place winning bid on ebay ~ split the cost ~ and let owen keep the guitar! +1
skydog52 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 why don't we place winning bid on ebay ~ split the cost ~ and let owen keep the guitar! Great idea. Owen already asked his Dad about getting that guitar. His Dad wanted him to learn how to play and kind of earn the privilege to have such a fine guitar.
RhoadsScholar Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 I like the idea too! Great idea. Owen already asked his Dad about getting that guitar. His Dad wanted him to learn how to play and kind of earn the privilege to have such a fine guitar.
michaeljames Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 if you guys are ok with it ~ i'll setup thru my PayPal ~ one of us has to be responsible for the winning bid ~ i'll do that too. i know i can trust you all ~ but need to say i am not working now, as you know spent $$ recently on guitars ~ and need to count on everyone to pay immediately ~ to my PayPal ~ unless one of you has a better idea ~ which i would like ~ but since its my idea, and it looks like there is support ~ i will take full responsibility. no worries. this guitar belongs in one place only! *** winning bid divided by number of charitable commitments = cost per person. ***
gpuma Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 It would be really cool to have Owen at PSP with us. I am in.

michaeljames Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 please uderstand we <none of us> will know the final cost <equally divided> until the guitar auction closes. i will pay for the auction close within moments, and will send a final cost/payee to each of you within 48 hours. let me pay 1st, then you send me the $$ so i can make my bank acct straight. ok???
michaeljames Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 and...forgot to say...will disclose all records! here to help Owen!
skydog52 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Posted March 18, 2012 I am going to repost this so we can keep it as originally intended. Heritage Guitar had asked me to make the HOC members aware of this auction for a cause. See original thread below. In subsequent threads people expressed interest in making donations to Owen's cause and I put a link to his team for the Heart association. Several people have made donations through the link and they are greatly apprectiated. The auction for the guitar on ebay starts March 22 with the proceeds being donated to the Heart Association. If you are interested in bidding on the Guitar, join the auction. Here is the link. www.tinyurl.com/teamowenheartwalk If you are not interested in bidding on the guitar but would like to support the cause, here is the link to make a donation. http://share.heartwalk.org/mdD462h Thanks again for all your help! Marv contacted me about a guitar that Heritage is donating for a good cause. I am putting the information up here for him. This young man has defied all the odds and still has a struggle ahead. Let us all show our support to Marv and Heritage! http://i753.photobuc...vnephew2001.jpg http://i753.photobuc...Marvauction.jpg http://i753.photobuc...arvauction3.jpg http://i753.photobuc...arvauction2.jpg Feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions. fallertheating@yahoo.com 248.974.7421 Thanks Paul I will bump this occasionally to keep it fresh in peoples minds. Here is the link to check out the guitar. I've seen this one and it's a beauty! This will be an E-bay auction and it will go live on March 22nd. www.tinyurl.com/teamowenheartwalk I talked to Owen's mother and she gave me this link for donations. http://share.heartwalk.org/mdD462h Many thanks to everyone!
heritagefan7 Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 This is a great cause. I will certainly look into it and see if we can help. If we cannot help w/ the git we will try to donate. Thanks for sharing the story. I wish I could just buy it and give it to Owen, but it's great to be a part of a group that would come together for such a great cause.
michaeljames Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 PLEASE FOLLOW ORIGINAL 'SKYDOG' INSTRUCTIONS RE: Ebay Auction, and Heart Association Donations. Its all good ~ I believe it will work out exactly the way it should. I got a little excited thinking I could help. I can help by donating. You too. Have a good BBQ soon ~ Its Spring! jim lehnen
skydog52 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 2 Days until it goes Live. Good Luck! Bid high and bid often. Good news from 225 Parson St. I talked to Marv this morning about the upcoming auction. He said they are getting pretty busy. They are getting a lot of oversea orders.
skydog52 Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Heritage-Guitar-H-150-Customized-with-Heritage-Owners-and-craftsmens-signatures-/230765543155?pt=Guitar&hash=item35bab2bef3#ht_999wt_922 It's Live!
MartyGrass Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 http://www.ebay.com/...f3#ht_999wt_922 It's Live! For anyone who believes that a guitar is more than the sum of its parts, this H150 is for you. The last thing I need is another H150. Well, this may be that last thing.
MartyGrass Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Well, well, well. We may be having a little bidding war here. It's a little early in the game, isn't it? The auction has another 10 days.
skydog52 Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 Well, well, well. We may be having a little bidding war here. It's a little early in the game, isn't it? The auction has another 10 days. Wow. Great start! Hope it keeps going. A big Thank You to everyone in advance for posting and supporting a very good cause!
MartyGrass Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 I don't suppose the cherry finish is a coincidence.
skydog52 Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 I don't suppose the cherry finish is a coincidence. I've always loved that finish! Probably not a coincidence. ; )
