Charity Auction!?

[Abravefan11]

David,

I think it's a great idea and would be happy to help or participate.

I have an item I am willing to put up for a charity auction. If we get the ball rolling on this, feel free to email me!

I would like to participate in this as well. Perhaps a forum-run auction format using donated cards/items from members here? I have a few nicer cards I dont mind parting with for a good cause.

If there is any "elder" board member or moderator that would like to take this on, I am sure it would garner much more support.

David -

Here's a suggestion.

1) Pick a charity. (I vote St Jude's)

2) Have members that want to participate list the cards in the B/S/T auction section with a common end date and **Charity Auction** note in the title.

3) Once the transaction is complete with each listing have the seller send one person the money.

4) Have the collector of the funds make the one contribution to the charity.

Even if participation is limited it's something and doesn't infringe upon anyone that doesn't want to participate.

I would be willing to donate our software free of charge. We have a charity site that could be set up in minutes to host the charity auction if desired.

I think it should be a children's charity. (St Jude's ???) But, I think we need to make sure that ALL of the money goes to the intended target of the charity...some of these charities out there have huge overhead and costs and very little of the money actually makes it to the intended target.
