I offered to do all the behind-the-scenes stuff, but was unable to even participate due to a demanding out-of-town job that is still ongoing. His efforts should be commended, and I hope the success of this auction will lead the way for another. I had another 10 or so items I wanted to donate but could not physically complete in time for the auction. will have a bunch of them completed for the next community effort if one occurs.
To those that won android-based items that I donated: I left them fully customized and capable, but If you want to customize your device in the best way possible, send me PM and I'd love to set them up better.
That Game Boy Color is an easy fix. A grounding issue with the video board that the Kapton tape didn't prevent well enough. I hope someone gives it some love.
Thank you Anapan for the kind words. It really wasn't a ton of work, especially with the groundwork already being laid. I borrowed a lot of your past formatting, and it was actually a lot of fun to administer. It really means a lot to me that we've accomplished what we did, for a cause that is deeply personal and part of my life now. I couldn't have asked for a better community. A huge thank you to all who participated in any way!
So, I say we keep the tradition alive!
Also, several items have shipped and I have PM'd tracking numbers accordingly. Here's a glimpse of the action!
We have a few more outstanding payments, but I believe we have all the outstanding logistics covered to get things sent out.
I do have the Game Boy Color as well, so reach out to Anapan and I via PM if you're wanting to fix it and we can make something happen.
Thanks all! You are amazing!
