    This is a fund-raising auction for Michael's Van Fund.

    The guy needs new wheels to get around because his current ride is almost done after years of loyal service.

    Thing is, these custom built machines don't come cheap and it isn't easy finding $50,000.

    All proceeds from this auction will go towards the fund.

    Bid generously folks! You know this domain is worth it!

    Minimum $10 increments, thank you.

    :)

    Thank you for your bid, Mia. :)

    How can you hate soccer? It's a wonderful game. :p


    ---------------------------------​
    Ideas I was toying around with for this domain before I decided to auction it:

    Soccer fansite listing the individual, current big name players - e.g. David Beckham (106324 searches done in May - Overture); Wayne Rooney (22989 searches in May - Overture) -- you get the idea - plenty of searchers ;)

    Soccer forum

    Soccer fansite 'Hall of Fame' listing past soccer stars as well as present

    Fantasy-football gamesite

    {Variations of the above}

    :)

    Because I went to Catholic School and they put a HUGE emphasis on Soccer. Recess = Soccer
    Gym = Soccer
    Sports/team = Soccer

    Our soccer coach was a scum bag. By today's standards he would have been put in jail. He beat kids, kicked them, punched them, etc., during practice (when the parents were not there) punishment for poor performance, or not doing something right. He was a real good Catholic that SOB.

    What kind of idiot wears shorts in the dead of friggin winter? The whole game was never any fun, our coach was a complete prick, and all you seemed to do is run back and forth, back and forth. There was never anything exciting about it. To this day, I cannot understand the draw.

    Watching that movie "Kicking and Screaming" really seems to highlight everything that sucked about soccer.

    No offense. My grandfather loved soccer. I have a Pele Ball (seriously). My grandfather had to deflate the thing to fit it in his valise on his way back from Italy. In doing so, the customs people ripped the valve out. So I have a deflated Pele ball.

    To me soccer is about as exciting as taking a bath in penzoil and raw sewage. Again, no offense. It's just a sport I can live without.

    I played hockey and baseball. I had originally played football, but broke my arm the first time out (age 7). Too dangerous. So I switched to hockey. Much safer!

    How long is this auction? I can't beleive there is only one bid! I figure that with all the soccer fever going on right now, it has to be worth more then $20?

    :)

    @VS - I'm rather surprised myself!

    @DomainTalk - thank you for your bid.

    Currently, the auction stands at $30.

    I was thinking of ending it at 12 noon, my time (GMT daylight adjusted) one week from today, so that would be Friday, June 30th.
