Pledges are being taken as of today. The list of pledges will be kept on this thread and will be updated accordingly. To make a pledge, you can either post on this thread or PM me your name and the item(s) you intend to sell when the auction begins.</i><i>Q: What items can I donate?A: Horror and Halloween items. This can include masks, stands, cases, dvds, cds, posters, props, models, busts, action figures, pictures and any other related horror or movie memorabilia. Artists can also offer their services. If you have an item that is not horror related, but you feel it can sell in the auction and help the cause, please PM me w/ the details. The most important thing to remember about donating an item is making sure it will be able to sell via auction.</i><i>Q: Can I donate money?A: Yes. Money can be donated directly to MAW via their website. When the auction begins, the donation information will be made available. You will also receive a tax receipt from them for your own purposes. If you wish to pledge money, you can do so at any time by sending me a PM and the amount you intend to donate when the auction begins. I will then add you to our list of donations. **<b><u>Money will not be personally excepted by myself or anyone else associated w/ the auction</u></b>**</i><i>Q: How and where will the auctions run?A: You will have 3 ways to run an auction. <b>Option 1:</b> The first method is through the site. Place your auction in the classifieds, choose your starting price, and run the auction for 7 days. You can also run a "<b>BUY ME NOW</b>" ad if you have a set price in mind, or simply attach that feature to your auction. All bids must be posted publicly. The highest bid at the end of 7 days wins the item(s). Once your auction is completed, please record the information and the total you received for your item(s), and PM me the information. Then mark the thread as "<b>Auction Closed - Please Delete</b>", so that the MODs know what classifieds can be deleted; please don't make their job any harder than it already is. The winning bid will <b>NOT</b> include shipping costs. All shipping questions should be made via PM directly to the seller. Please remember to add the words, <u><b>MAW Auction Item</b></u>, in your classified ad heading. If there are any discrepancies, please PM myself and I will help to work out the matter. If there is a more severe problem, I will contact a MOD for assistance. </i><i> <b>Option 2:</b> The second option is to list your item on an auction site such as eBay. If you're selling your item via eBay, list your item as you normally would. I'm also going to see if <b>Horrorbid</b> would like to be involved.</i><i><b>Option 3:</b> Your third option is to ship your item(s) to another member and have them sell the donation on your behalf. If you would like to take this option, you must independently find a seller to auction your donation. Due to some problems in the past w/ this process, we will no longer be encouraging this method because we have trouble tracking the sales and some donated items disappeared. It's hard to imagine that anyone would steal from an auction for MAW, but it has happened unfortunately. Unless you have known the person you are entrusting to run your auction for you, we encourage you to run your own auction either here or on an auction website.</i><i>Q: When can I run my auction?A: Your auction may be run anytime that is convenient for you as long as it is within the auction time. Most likely, we will have a 2 week period in which the auctions may take place. This period will start in late September or early October. As long as our auction begins before the final day of the auction, you will be fine.</i>

Sounds like fun Im in for this.-Josh-

[🪦 mperaginejr ●]

I'd do a paint up and donate/sell it for this cause. A friend of mine who is no longer with us got his wish, and I was able to be a part of it. Thiss foundation does great things for people.

[🪦 thekreator ●]

This is very cool. I would love to participate and have plenty of items I could choose from to auction and donate the proceeds. Would love to bid on other items too, knowing the funds would be going to an excellent cause.

[🪦 Deathwalk78 ●]

Sounds good, Scottie. I have a few items lying around here, I'd be happy to donate.

Thank you every one <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> I'm very grateful for your support. When you know you can donate an item for sure, please PM me and I'll add you to our list. You can also post your donation on this thread if you like, and I'll add you from that. Even if you're not sure what the item(s) is yet but know you want to contribute, I will add you to the list and just put a "???" for your donation until you know what your donation will be. Mike (<b>voorheesfanatic</b>) is first on the list for the '09 auction. Thank you Mike! At the top of this thread, I have now added a donation list which will be updated whenever we have a new donation(<i>from now until when the auction begins in September or early October</i>). I have also added info on what we have raised in the past, and what we're shooting for this year. I will have the FAQ section on the opening thread within the next 10 minutes, which will help answer any additional questions folks may have. Please feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions, thoughts or concerns. Thank you again everyone, and please spread the word if you can. -s
