This thread is pretty simple and it should work terrificly if people are willing to take part. Basically people pick something they're willing to send to someone else on QC - be it a dvd, a book, a mix tape, a wooly hat or whatever - and then they pick a charity they want some money to go to. Then they post in this thread detailing what they're "selling" and what the charity is (and if you want a reason behind the charity choice) and folks bid on the item via PM. Every item is open for bidding for two weeks (perhaps shorter, thoughts?) and at the end of it the seller and the highest bidder arrange the posting of the item and the donating to charity. Once an auction is closed the post should be edited to show who won the auction and - if everyone is happy to put it up - the amount bid.
So I'm asking folks to think of what they could bear to part with or what they could make in order to take part in this thread.
Also please remember that this entire thread will only work based on trust and people actually posting what they said they would, so if you don't think you're organised enough to remember to post something or to pay a charity then don't take part.
Oh yeah, it'd make life hella easier for everyone if the charities are able to be donated to online.
I'm up for posting someone (anywhere in the world, although it'll be posted the cheapest way possible) an unused but opened copy of
Company of Heroes gold edition (which is
company of heroes and company of heroes opposing fronts) which I bought but doesn't run on my PC because of my graphics card being shit. For this I'm after a donation to
Rape Crisis Scotland I guess to the Glasgow centre as that's my city. I think that's a pretty self explanatory one.
Go go go!
