Hi All,

Finally, as I promised, we have gotten the KHV Auctions back on track. This will be a live auction that can be monitored by the bidders upon visiting the On Line Auction web site. There were a number of alternatives that we have considered and explored to avoid high fees and costs associated with most online auctions. This web site provides us with the most flexibility and yet preserves the most return on the bidder’s final auction dollar amount.

Now we need you to get the word out to all of your koi clubs, enthusiasts and friends that the auction is underway. The first one will probably be the most difficult to obtain the full gammet of potential bidders until our AKCA/KHV Project supporters become aware that this will be a common and ongoing occurrence until further notification from myself or our Director, Mr. Spike Cover.

The bidding on this first item will begin on Wednesday, Sept 5, 2007, at 7:00 PM PDT and will go for fourteen (14) days, bidding will be closed on Sept. 19, 2007 at 7:00 PM PDT. There is a reserve dollar bid amount and should we not achieve this amount the item will then be reposted for bidding.

You may preview the auction page by going to http://www.onlineauction.com/index.php?page=auction:view_item&auction_id=374405.

In order to bid you will have to register with the Online Auction. This only involves your name and e-mail address, no costs, no sign up fees to the bidder or viewers.

Please, let's get this information out to as many as possible to raise badly needed funds for the AKCA/KHV Funding Project.


Thanks for your assistance and cooperation.

Gene Anderson
AKCA/KHV Funding Chairman
