Founder Poorboy's World
Poorboy’s World will be running a silent auction for the next two weeks
here at our favorite site ,Detail City, to help raise money for the victims of
Tsunami disaster. We will be offering a Prototype Jar of our new product:
Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant that will be released in
the near future. Please feel free to over bid for this jar as ALL the proceeds
will be going to the relief fund. President Bush has also just announced that all donations to the relief fund will be tax deductible. Now how can you beat that!! A 16oz jar of sealant, and it’s also a tax write off as well as giving to a great cause!!! Please be generous and help these people try to regain some type of life where food and clean water is not a scarce resource.
Attached is a picture of the jar you will receive, and on top of that it will one day also be a collectors item:D

All proceeds from this auction will be donated to UNICEF to help those affected by the Southeast Asia tsunamis!

Poorboy’s World will be running this auction for a total of 14 days to help raise money for the victims of
Tsunami disaster.

A. Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant is the perfect solution for those with hard to mantain wheels! Wheel Sealant repells dirt and brake dust. Your wheels will be much easier to clean and the shine is incredible!

Thanks again for everyone participating :bigups

To make your bid, please pm me and I will post the current bid and keep the bidding anonymous until the last winning bid is taken.

We will start the bidding at $40 .............
 
Here are the details of the tax deduction as of right now.

"Congress Approves Extension of Tax Deduction for Tsunami Donations

Congress on January 6 unanimously passed a bill (HR 241) that
permits accelerated tax deductions for charitable cash donations
made to assist victims of the recent tsunami. The legislation will
now head to President Bush for his signature.
Specifically, the bill allows taxpayers to claim a tax deduction in
tax year 2004 for donations made for tsunami disaster relief until
January 31, 2005. Under current law, taxpayers would have to wait
until next year's filing season to claim a tax deduction for tsunami-
related gifts made after December 31, 2004. The proposal is limited
to cash gifts made specifically for disaster relief."
 
thanks for the tax clarification ....

latest high bid is $50

Zesty i'd prefer not to ever see events like this that would cause such a great need from all over the world to respond, but I will probably do some more for other charities during the year that I highly believe in, such as Children's Cancer Research and family funds(most people have no idea what finacial stress is like until you have a child, spouce or parent in the hospital under possible terminal conditions, and work is the last thing on your mind),sorry for the rant:dunno The Make A Wish foundation , that does unbelievable work for kids as well as families, American Cancer Society, there are so many choice out there , and so many problems.
 
How could that possibly be a rant??? Those are the words of a passionate parent who has been through, and continues to move forward from, what only a small fraction of human beings could truly understand. I sit on the board for Wish Upon a Star (local version of Make a Wish), work closely with Children's Cancer Research and St. Judes Children's Hospital (my group just raised over $130K in 2 days, a new record), and yet both of my kids are healthy... aside from a bout of viral meningits early on, which changed my life forever. Nothing like having last rites administered to your child to set your priorities straight real quick. You've earned your passion, Steve... no apologies required.
 
Dang. I forgot about the auction; I went to grab lunch with SilverLexus and check out his Vac N Blo & new rotary. It looks like it is getting a bit steepfor me....$50 was my limit. I'll have to wait for the wheel sealant to be released so I can buy it.

Steve thanks for doing this.
 
the new highest bid is $85
thanks for understanding about the rant and that is a great thing you do:bigups
 
Still at $85 as high bid...come on people 16oz Wheel Sealant, tax deductable...we can do better:headbang
 
WOW :bigups Thats too much for me but I think its great! Way to go Steve and too all the high bidders.
 
I would bid a high amount, except I am 19 and would not get any back. I know that's kinda selfish..but, if I could claim it all...I would donate ALOT.
