Hey all, we're gonna do the charity auction again this year (sorry for the donation-only last year, I was away).
Since it went smoothly before, I'm just going to copy and paste the best stuff here with minor edits, and ask that anyone find and mention a problem before it occurs.
Some quick notes;
Donate small and valuable stuff - carts and discs, books and crafts, controllers and handhelds. because you'll be paying the shipping (* PM me if you have a problem - I'll fix it)
Donations will be accepted throughout the auction thread's live time with a cutoff to be determined* this will be reflected here and in the official topic.
The Racketboy Charity Auction has been a tradition since I started participating in the forum around 2009. It has been a tradition to donate our duplicate or unloved gaming/electronic wares to try to raise funds to benefit an elected charity. It has also been a place where the more artistic of us have created incredible works of art for the cause (I only drink the best of alcohols from my Rackeyboy glass-etched tumbler). I would like to keep the tradition alive because I have always enjoyed the camaraderie that comes from a community joined in a cause, and at the same time competing to win some cool gear at a bargain. IMO this is the epitome of the community here, and I hope as many of you participate as we have had in previous years. Let's strive for over 15 pages of bidding! I have some cool but unloved gear again this year.
Donors are expected to pay for shipping in their own country.
I live in Canada and I may bid on your donation knowing you will pay the shipping. I'll PM you about it and make it OK - same goes for bidders in other far-off countries - if nothing else, I'LL make it OK, tho in previous years one or more members donated to a shipping fund and made it so nobody paid shipping. This is a far-shot, so assume you'll pay shipping before you donate.
I know I have a lot of old gaming gear I've been saving for this. Check your drawers and see if you can help make a difference!
This year again we're sponsoring the same charity as the GDQ. The reason for this is twofold - They are public, and if we time it right they will mention us live and hopefully get more visitors to our forum.
PM me your stuff with pictures so I can make a good bidding post;
cart/disc lots keep it neat and sell stuff easier.
Cheers all! Hope we can have another great charity run this year!
Expect your donations to go live around the 1st of December.
