I think we are using the wrong term here. I am out of town and may not
have gotten all of this traffic but the word "auction" doesn't sound
right to me. 

We would make more money if we used the term raffle as we just did with
the FT-2900 and more than doubled the cost of the radio in ticket
sales. 

People go to a tailgate fest to find bargains and I doubt you could make
back the cost of the radio with an auction. If the bids got to the point
where it would be the same cost or cheaper for me to go to HRO and get
the same radio myself then I would.

Just my two cents.
