I don't know if this will fly...if this post upsets anyone, let me know I'll delete it.
My pals at RBR have built up a bike to be auctioned as a fundraiser for another member. His baby, Collin, is currently fighting leukemia, the RBR family have pretty much adopted Collin as one of their own.
Collins Bike
It's up for auction now on Ebay, if you wanna take a look.....

Collin looks like a really sweet kid -- I hope he can beat this!

I hope they can get more for it than where it stands now. It certainly is worth it.

One of their charity builds went for $1500. Here's hoping.

That's a great idea. (It might also be nice if they set up a separate fundraising site where people who don't necessarily want a bike or to spend quite so much could help out. That way more people could actually donate.)

I happy and proud to announce the bike sold for $987!
On another note, this is the 6 month anniversary since Collin had his bone marrow transplant. Keep up the fight Collin!

It just gets better and better. The buyer prefers to remain anonymous. He/She is sending the seller a check for $1000, rather than going through PayPal and having any fees taken out.
Then.....
He/She has asked that the bike be re-listed and auctioned off again, for Collin.
I don't know whether to cry, laugh, jump up and down or what. I love my invisible internet friends.
