This size 3-4 toddler peasant-style dress comes with a matching "Easter Bunny" apron that is removable. A separate, lightweight petticoat is also included with the dress.

50. Bose Sport Ear Buds
Donated by: Dr. Larry Rueff
Purchased by: Paul Runnels, $270

New! Bose Sport Earbuds make your music sound like the performer is right there beside you, pushing you to go one more mile or do one more rep. Bose Sport Earbuds come with three sizes of StayHear™ Max tips, so you can find the right fit for you. Every surface that touches your ear is made of soft silicone — not hard plastic — and by applying pressure evenly across your ear, the eartips avoid putting extra pressure on the most sensitive parts. Meanwhile, the unique umbrella-shaped tip and the extended flexible wing keep your Bose Sport Earbuds securely in place — without need of an ear hook — no matter how much you shake your head or jump up and down.

Instead of buttons, Bose Sport Earbuds feature a capacitive touch interface. That means the outer surface of each earbud works like a touchpad. On the right earbud, double-tap to play or pause music and to answer calls. And on the left earbud, double-tap to engage a Shortcut function of your choice.

When you get a phone call while wearing Bose Sport Earbuds, instead of interrupting your workout, simply double-tap the right earbud to answer or press and hold to reject. If you answer, you’ll hear the call clearly in both ears. Meanwhile, thanks to the beamforming microphone array that separates your voice from surrounding noise, the caller will hear you clearly, too.

Bose Sport Earbuds provide up to five hours of battery life per charge. They’re charged by placing them in the included charging case. If the case is charged, it will automatically charge the earbuds. When its fully charged, the case can provide two full charges for up to 10 more hours of use. And if your battery runs out when you’re on the go, you can do a 15-minute quick charge for up to two hours of playback time.

Bose Sport Earbuds connect to the free Bose Music app, which lets you name your earbuds, set the controls the way you like them, check your battery life, manage your Bluetooth connections, and more. It’s also how you get software updates with new features.

Donated by: Dr. Max and Carol Rodibaugh
Purchased by: Paul Armbrecht, $550; Paul Armbrecht, $600; Paul Armbrecht, $550

Bid on the JASPER mystery gift cards with a value of $150 to $250 each! The total value of all 3 cards is $600, so just purchase them all for lots of shopping fun!

In case you're new to the auction, here is the backstory: We have 3 gift cards for you to bid on (separately) - cards P, I, and G! They are mystery cards - the mystery is that no one knows what you will buy and you don't know the value of the card(s) you're bidding on! But there's more value to the cards than meets the eye - the pig featured on the cards is Jasper, who belonged to Dr. Max Rodibaugh's father and was the Grand Champion barrow at the 1969 Chicago International. Jasper's claim to fame doesn't stop there - he was the pig the small Breyer model was made from. After you exhaust the funds on the card, you'll want to frame it for posterity!

Market value: $600 (total value of all 3 cards)

Donated by: Dr. David Nolan and Huvepharma
Purchased by: Tom Gillespie, $390

Beginning as a Christmas tradition in 1992, David has literally made several tons of this unique mouth-watering candy for customers, colleagues, family and friends. Every year in early autumn, those who have previously received this prized gift (sometimes simply referred to as "crack") begin positioning to once again ensure that their name will be on the "nice" list for the coming Christmas season. It has become such a tradition that even the postal service workers ask when the first boxes will begin to appear (subtle begging that they won't be forgotten). If you've not yet experienced docnolan's pecan toffee ... well ... we know what "list" your name is on :). Happy bidding!

This package deal includes: A) Five one-pound boxes shipped to one location, or any combination of addresses, during the 12 months following the AASV auction. Please only request shipping during cool months (very difficult to make in high humidity). B) The famous recipe. Very simple yet very profound! C) Training on creating the perfect batch! This is the most valuable portion of the package! I will provide video training and follow-up coaching on getting it just right! Just like Santa's cocoa, there are some secret tricks that will make the difference between phenomenal and flop!
