Thanks for posting. This is a nice way we can all pitch in to support Aggie Athletics. There is usually a lot of cool stuff, from my past experience. I registered, and it IS free! Woohoo!

They should be posting the things that are available soon. They will have things available to bid on as well as some buy it now stuff. I've heard that they'll have some of the MWC Champ Back to Back shirts that the team wore. I'll update this thread when some stuff shows up on the site.

Do they ever sell jerseys that were worn in games? I have a few NBA jerseys, but would love a game worn USU jersey.

They used to sell game used jerseys at the Aggie surplus on campus. I picked up a few of them for like $5 each a few years ago. I don't know if they ever have them there anymore or not...it would be cool to see them in the auction though.

Not often, but they do. A couple of years ago I remember seeing a Michael Smith game worn jersey auctioned off.

I just emailed Ethan Richards to see if he wants a handful of donated Internet-connected Aggie A's to auction. I suspect that people go more for jerseys, helmets, etc., but if it doubles as way for them to get a donation and us to advertise a bit, I hope he wants to use them.

Maybe I should make a couple of some of the bigger ones that only a few KickStarter people got as they are a little more unique since we haven't started selling those on our website yet.

They should take everything. I have seen stuff in the auction in year past that had zero connection to Aggie athletics other than the person who donated the item likes the Aggies.

I think it is a great idea to have some for people to bid on.

Not sure. I still need to find a price point and haven't done the analysis. Because this has about twice the length/width/height as the smaller one, it has about 8 times the volume and thus takes a lot more plastic and takes a lot more time to 3D print. It takes almost 20 hours for just one, as opposed to getting 8 of the smaller ones done in 24 hours.

Hopefully I will have that all sorted out by December/Christmas time?

The auction is live now and several items are racking up bids. There are some cool shirts and such that you can just purchase without bidding.
