Each August I help plan and play in a fraternity alumni golf tournament. At the end of the round we gather in the club house to tell lies about our golf game, rehash old school stories and do a live auction to raise funds for the fraternity's philanthropy.

I donated these two pens for the auction this year. The first one is a patriotic bolt action pen that uses a JohnU waving flag blank. The second pen continues the bolt action theme and is a tec pen that uses a blank poured using the Fraternity colors.

This is a group that is willing to spend but unfortunately there are only a few "pen guys" in it so while the pens do well I'd love to see them go higher. If memory serves they did $80-90 for each pen.

I use GluBoost on all my pens. The hardware and JohnU flag blank were all purchased at Exotic Blanks.

For some reason I didn't get photos on a back drop of the pens before the tournament.

Nice thing to do. I've donated to several charity auctions over the years. I donate because I want to. I can't control the selling price. So, I donate and don't concern my self with the selling price.
