Celebrate Eldorado Photo Auction 2007

The 15th annual Celebrate Eldorado fund raising event includes an auction of the rare signed prints of Eldo climbs shown below. All photos are approximately 10"x15", framed in 100% archival materials (frame size 16"x20"), and signed by the photographer and/or climber as indicated. The photos will be sold through an on-line auction that is now open to the public!

On line bidding will close at midnight on 12 September 2007. Bids that are greater than the current on-line amounts will be accepted in person at the Celebrate Eldorado party and fundraiser on 13 September at the Boulder Rock Club from 7 to 9 PM. The winning bidders will be announced at that time. If the winning bidder is not present, ACE will contact that person to arrange shipping/delivery of their photos. If the photo(s) must be shipped, a flat $50 shipping charge will apply. Winning bidders may pay by credit card, personal check, or online via PayPal. In the event any credit card is refused, the next highest bidder will win the photo.

To place a bid, please email the photo number you wish to bid on and the amount of your bid along with your name and address or phone number to stefan@aceeldo.org
