Autographed copy of "A Foreign Policy for Freedom" for auction at Ebay!

[Sematary]

I got this book autographed by Ron Paul on Nov 10, 2007 at the Philadelphia Rally. As you can see - the autograph is on the front cover. The book is in decent condition/used.
I thought long and hard about whether or not I wanted to part with this collectors item but frankly, I think the December 16 money bomb is far more important than me keeping this book and the only way I can possibly donate a decent amount on that date is by selling the one thing I own that I believe has the value to help me do this. Bidding will BEGIN at $100. Since the money bomb amount for signatories is $100 that is where I'm beginning. I'm hoping for much more. The winning bidder will get the book shipped by priority mail, or overnight at the end of the auction.
Please help me raise money for the December 16 fundraiser by bidding high on this book! For more info on the money bomb - go to http://www.teaparty07.com
I have placed a buy now at $500 if anyone is interested.

Well, so far I've had over 40 looks but no bids. :(

[Sematary]

50 looks so far. I hope someone finds the book, the autograph and the cause to be worth between $100 and $500

[gpickett00]

why do you think it is valued so highly?

[krott5333]

why do you think it is valued so highly?

because its signed by the next and possibly greatest United States President

Well, there is that but also because the money is going directly into the campaign coffers on December 16 :D

[mfoley1]

although I think it be worth every penny if I could afford it, the $100 starting bid maybe to high.

Don't care. I'm not giving this thing away. I was so happy to get it autographed and now I'm willing to give that prized possession up to help out the campaign. Anything less than $100 I could do without selling it.

[hopeforamerica]

I think you should keep it! You've worked so hard and the money that could be raised is not as much as you would treasure this. I therefore, hope you get no bids.

I am all about what I can do NOW to help Ron Paul get elected but I'm not willing to part with a keepsake such as this for next to nothing. I'm willing to make the sacrifice for a future that I can live with. I have no doubt that if Ron Paul DOESN'T become president that in the future, it may well be illegal to possess this book and I don't want to see that happen.

Because Ron Paul signed it for the man who made the entire Philly Rally possible, AT the Philly Rally.

This is just OOZING with historical implications!

Wow, ron paul has the same handwriting as me. Almost all of those letters look exactly like mine.

Were you standing in the middle of a crowd of people at the Philly meetup just before the rally with television cameras all over you? And do you look like Ron Paul? And would Mrs. Paul be able to tell the difference? ;)

No. No. Yes.

There are two WATCHERS!!
RP needs BIDDERS!! :)

[Sematary]

NOW we're talking! TWO BIDS!! How much will this book bring Ron Paul on December 16? It's all up to the supporters now!

[justinc.1089]

Is it legal to sell ron paul stuff on ebay? because I was thinking about doing this too to be able to donate more money to the campaign, but I figured it was illegal for some reason. If its not, I'm going to get Paul to sign some stuff and ebay it and donate the money to the campaign then.

Why would it be illegal to sell your own stuff? And you are free to do whatever you want with your own money.

[tmg19103]

TMG can vouch for it. He was there when I got it autographed. :)

Yup, I saw him get it signed at the MeetUp fundraiser winner meeting with RP before the rally and I got another copy signed for his daughter at the private briefing I went after that which was also before the rally.

I have the Philly Rally slimjim signed by RP already framed and I think I will hold on to that.

I hate to sell it, you know? But if it can help to get Ron Paul elected then it's worth the sacrifice.

[tmg19103]

I hope a lot people bid. It's for a great cause - helping the Dec. 16 money bomb and getting RP elected while the winning bidder gets a piece of history - not only a signed RP book, but one where the proceeds went to RP.

Ya, I'm gonna miss it. :(
It will be worth it though. :D

[Sematary]

I honestly thought I'd see more interest. Isn't there a wealthy supporter who would LOVE to have a copy of this book out there? :)

suggestion: post on the international section of this forum. it'll be less the 250 pounds

Don't worry, you already have 2 bids and it's very early in the auction. People tend to wait until the end of the auction. Good luck!!

I know they do but in this case I really want to push this as high as possible to get Dr. Paul maximum donation on the 16th

3 bidders and 6 watchers. Good start, I guess.

Well, it looks like it's going to net Dr. Paul a fair amount of cash on December 16
So far it's at $202.50 (and hopefully climbing).
GO DR. PAUL
Now All I gotta do is replace the actual book when this one is gone. It's a good one. :D

[Sematary]

Do you guys think a Certificate of Authenticity would be worthwhile?

[Sematary]

I can still donate more than $1500 (wink, wink). :)
