RE: Victor E. Ball Silent Auction now live
How does the 70k compare to the amount raised last year?

RE: Victor E. Ball Silent Auction now live
I actually found it TOO EASY to bid on some of the items! Once you were signed up (which was easy), they texted you when you were outbid, so easy to get into a bidding war. I thought the online stuff was very well done.
Agree there's always room for improvements, and perhaps some of the additional NIU specific items would be nice, but I enjoyed it.

That would sell for enough to cover the stadium upgrades.

Now that you mention it, I do have a football signed by him.

I have a few bottles of Turner the Burner hot sauce, a Ricardo Patton autographed basketball, and a pair of cheerleader shorts. Do you think I could get a nice wad of cash for those?

It's funny to think that Patton autographed basketball would sell for the least out of those 3. You'd probably have to pay someone to take it.

So when do we actually get the items we bid on and won? I haven’t received any emails other than receipt of payment.
