The 2008 QC charity auction thread

(1/6) > >>

Oli:
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!

Perhaps a bit more description on what you're actually selling? I guess it's a computer game, that's all I know about it.

valley_parade:
A five-part package from me:

-A signed copy of valleyparade's (me) "Buran" CD/EP. This is the only existing copy on CD.
-A thank you in the liner notes of the upcoming valleyparade album, "THIS WILL SCARE YOUR DOG"*
-A signed copy of said album**
-A green Boston Red Sox cap, size XL (will fit size 7 3/8 to 7 1/2). Looks like this.
-A valleyparade poster, designed by QC's very own Gemmwah.

My charity of choice is The Jimmy Fund. It's a New England-based group that works with the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.


*May not actually scare dogs. Results will vary.
**My target release date is May 27, which is outside of the two weeks. The winning bidder will get the album when it is released, and other goodies beforehand.

A drawing I did of Optimus Prime jousting with Broly on the back of velociraptors. Is a redraw of the original I did as a kid, charity is Unicef.

ledhendrix:
This is a damned excellent idea. I'll think of something to sell and a charity to donate it to when i get home.

Fucking ace.
