Brand new set of KCI Silkworms to benefit S Clark & his students project!!

KCI-JohnP · « **on:** 7 Jan 2010, 06:27 pm »

Hi Everyone,

It's that time of the year again and S Clark needs some help in raising funds for this years school project/s. This year I have decided to put up a brand new set of KCI Silkworms(newest version but not the "+") for auction with all funds to go directly to the school project. Just post in here with your highest offer and I guess we can end the "auction" when Scott sees fit.

I will build the highest bidder a set of single ended Silkworms up to 1M in length, terminated with your choice of either Eichmann Silver Bullets or Xhadow Precision RCA connectors. As an added bonus; upon completion I will send this set out to be cryo treated. Once they are back from cryo treatment I will also give them a nice treatment on our Audiodharma Cable Cooker Pro 2.5 and then ship them directly to you.

All funds should be sent directly to S Clark, and, if possible I would also like the winning bidder to have the benefit of the tax deduction as well. Once Scott has notified me that the donation has been made I will build the cables, treat them and then ship them directly to the winning bidder.

You can have a gander at the Silkworms on our website, I tried to put up a direct link but I guess AC won't allow that. MSRP on a 1M single ended set is $899 so please be generous as ALL FUNDS are a donation going directly to the kids project/s.

So what do you say people, break out those wallets and lets help these kids with their project and help them learn about our passion while furthering(is that a word??) their education too!

Sincerely,
John Prator
KCI

Oops, had to correct S Clarks name, had it wrong!!

Ok, someone emailed me and mentioned that maybe I should've put up a starting price so lets start them at $250. Sound fair? aa

I just want to say a big THANKS to John for a super generous donation. This ought to just about fund a couple of physics classes- basically, it lets me approach another school and let them get involved.

And although I am very happy with my Electra Cables, I'll open the bidding...

$250!

Also, let's keep the bidding in $25 (or more

) increments. No $250.01 bids please

Canada, eh? Heck I can cryo those babies right here in "HOT"lanta: tonight low of 16, tomorrow "high" of 20-freakin'-8! Already got 1/4" of snow which, for us, is like 10' on the northern/southern scale. WTF?! (How far south do I have to move to get away from this crap?)

So I gotta say ... $325!

Thanks,

Yes. See the description in the original post.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you guys that have and are going to bid- hopefully this will buy woofers, tweeters, and misc for 16-20 speakers. So remember that this is not just a great set of interconnects, but also a really good cause. Get out your wallet and bid generously!
