Here's the original painting of Whitefish Point by Digger. I will be adding the rules this afternoon for those who want to bid and will not be able to attend the Hoosier Lighthousing Club (HLClub) meeting this Thursday August the 9th. The proxy bids will be similar to the way Collector's World does their mail in bids for their rare Harbour Lights Auction each year if you are familiar with the auction. Don't post your bid in this thread, as they will be done by e-mail to a special e-mail address I will post this afternoon..


Painting by Steve Ervin (Digger)

The following are the ground rules for making a proxy bid on the original Whitefish Point painting by Digger. You can send only one of two different kinds of bids… either a single value bid or a range bid. A single value bid is just what it says you bid one amount. A range bid will have two values a starting value and a maximum value.. for example from $150-$300

Example of 4 people bidding:

Your bid $150-$350 range bid
Bidder #2 $205 single value bid
Bidder #3 $175 single value bid
Bidder #4 $150-$310 range bid

The winning bid would yours at $315. You would have out bid all of the other bidders. You would have beat out the next highest bidder #4’s $310 by the next bidding increment of $5 (the minimum increment to win the bid by). There is a minimum starting bid of $150 on the Whitefish painting.

The painting is unframed.. I told Digger the donation of the actual painting to the club to raise money for the Old Michigan City Lighthouse and the Hoosier Lighthousing Club was more than enough plus the winning bidder can choose to frame it to match their home’s décor.

I believe the size of the painting is… 16" X 20" unframed.

If there is a problem with payment from the winning bidder then the second place bidder will be given the opportunity to match the winning bid and the painting will go to them.

The deadline for the bids will have to be by Noon on Thursday August 9th (1:00pm Eastern daylight) so that I can access the e-mail and take the bids with me to the Snooty Fox. The e-mail address to send the bids and bids only is:

HoosierLH@aol.com

Any other questions e-mail me at WackoPaul@bvimpact.com or just click on the envelope icon at the top of the post.

Less than a day to go to get your bids in on this great new Digger original! Make sure you make your bid count. Who will take this painting home? Perhaps Mark "Whitefish" Wagner?
