Sadly, my Friday afternoon challenge last week--I'd post audio of Matt Davis singing Carly Simon's "Nobody Does it Better," performed at our holiday party, if we hit the $7K mark in our holiday auction by 5 pm--went unmet. Though we coasted past $7K over the weekend, it wasn't by my deadline.

However, I know there are still folks out there whose lives will be unfulfilled if they don't get a chance to hear Matt's crooning. So here's my second offer:

Make a bid on any item, or make a direct donation to the Portland Women's Crisis Line, and send me the proof (a screenshot of your eBay bid confirmation, a forward of the emailed bid confirmation, a receipt from PayPal for a direct donation). I'll keep your info confidential, and I'll promptly email you the two and a half minute mp3 of Davis' performance.

There are still 31 items going for less than $100. And I bet most of the items have a high bidder that's willing to pay far more than the current going price--so you may be outbid. But you'll still get your limited edition Davis mp3. (Full disclosure: it's not the highest quality, obviously, as it was recorded in a karaoke booth. But it's Matt Davis! Singing!)

Your new deadline: Noon on Tuesday. Bid. And email me.
