Gravel, if this one's not spoken for yet, I'll take her.
 
I'm not a big paypal guy, but would it make things easier if De Oppresso Liber included his email addy in the first post? Sorry in advance if this is a dumb question.
 
I hate to be a downer but I'm locking this thread until approval is given by Spark. Any sort of raffle or solicitation of funds needs to be approved before it can commence. While I do feel for the family there are rules and steps that need to be followed.
 
While I can appreciate the family nature of this for DE OPPRESSO LIBER, the long and the short of it is that this site is not here for fundraising. We have a very difficult time supporting our members who encounter problems (see VampireGerbil) and I'm even less inclined to allow everyone to use the userbase here for their own particular cause. I don't enjoy asking people for money, hence the lack of support auctions this site has, despite the financial difficulties we experience.

This thread rubs me wrong for a number of reasons. One, I hate appeals to emotion, especially about sick and dying relatives. Two, I hate seeing people use these situations to their own advantage. Third, I don't like people trying to pressure or manipulate me.

There's going to be a rule laid down after this, where no one will be allowed fundraising efforts for third parties. You want to do it, do it offsite. You want to sell your collection and donate the funds; be my guest.

If you people are selling knives for this, you need to post them in the appropriate for sale forum, NOT THIS FORUM. Specify that the funds are to be sent to DE OPPRESSO LIBER, etc.

Past that, I'm reopening this thread. If there are ANY problems that result from it... it's not going to be pretty. Those of you offering knives for sale, need to edit the information out of the appropriate posts and start threads for them.
 
Is it possible to have some kind of code in the title to tell it's for that cause? Or would it be against the rules?

I'm not Spark, so what I say here might be overruled, but if you were to put "For Rachael" in the title, I believe that should be OK. It seems that others are already doing this. A short mention inside the thread in the original post stating that you, the Seller, are planning to donate the proceeds would also work. :)
 
I'll take randucci's green linen micarta Sus Scrofa with a double cut finish. Please let me know your Paypal email.

Thanks,

Bob
