RacketBoy 2022 auction timeframe poll

by Anapan Wed Jul 27, 2022 3:46 am

Not wanting to jump the gun as has been maligned here previously (when I was only contributing), but I actually need some input as I expect my previous between-season vacations might actually be completely filled with work, and I am now the showrunner. TBH I'd be really happy to take sidecar-gunner seat and support another more-available member, but I am more concerned with making the annual event go smoothly than any other concern, and toward that goal I will take the wheel until someone else shows a vested interest
I remember previously some members disliked the year-end season as the end-date as that caused them to not be able to bid as much.
In this case I agree, having a sooner auction would spread out my time to make and test contributions.
I have a lot of things that even last year I didn't complete for the auction to the point now I don't even expect to complete 1/2 of the backlog of mod\solder\homebrew\refurbish\reshell projects I want to contribute. I'll be making multiple of these so I can keep one of the many projects I've invested in. This is another poll I will create and populate, tho I'll populate it when the first poll gets some results so I can gage how much time I might have to complete them.
If I fail to complete any, I have some cool other stuff that should be desirable to members.
While I brought this topic up, I don't have any charity picked, so I plan to make another poll that i"ll link closer to the decided on end-date that this poll will decide.
The polls cannot be modified or created separately, so I will be editing this post with links below when I create them: Please message me if you want to gage your possible contribution's appeal in one of the subsequent polls

Bump!

I've been busy the past few weeks, but I will weigh in on this when I get a chance to think about it.
I'm parting with some duplicate Blu-Ray and DVD movies. Check out this thread if interested.

Also just wanted to chime in to say early November or early December would be better for me. October will be a bit hectic, but either way I'd still like to participate in the auction, if I can!

Hey guys, sorry for the radio silence, and also not taking into account any of the feedback. I was busy making robot cats.
I usually only know about a week before I am called to a job, but this one was a bit more abrupt so I had to drop everything including my procrastinated almost finished donations, and leave. I planned to schedule the auction for early or maybe mid October despite poll results, but it looks like I'm stuck here until late October. I hope this doesn't too badly affect the auction's participation. I did manage to photograph and package a set of donations, so I will definitely make everything work.
Again, sorry for not doing anything about the results of the poll. I should've asked for donations a long time ago. I will do that now.

Definitive date: November 1st.
