ok DU Auction has begun...first Item up for sale

[Born_a_Democrat]

I have donated this and last Qtr but I have always wanted to give more than I can afford...GREAT GREAT GREAT IDEA "Rabrrrrrr"


I will post it here in case you guys want to bid on it (or if you DU mods want the item for auction on another site, it's yours). If this works I will send the item to the DU mods and after they confirm they have it you can send them the check and they can send you the item.

Buyer will pay shipping to minimize costs to DU.


Item:

Psylocke "Limited Edition" Sculpture (porcelain)
It portrays Psylocke suspended in mid air by tentacles coming out of the "Danger Room" wall with her hand ablaze in psionic energy ready to strike.
It is number 712 of 2,500
Original Price when purchased $175.00


Here is a pic of it although none of these do it justice. I just can't find any better links.






Just to re-iterrate, this sculpture and/or any proceeds are a DONATION to Democratic Underground and I can't believe I'm doing this cause I LOVE this sculpture but I guess if it doesn't hurt then it isn't really a sacrifice.

I would like to start the bidding at $75.00 but the first person that offers $125.00 for it gets it



I better post already cause I've been looking at the screen for like the past 30 minutes...ok...IT BEGINS!!



edit: Um...forgot to mention I'm kinda Homeless till I move into my new home in about two weeks. This sculpture is in a box in my storage place...but as soon as I can get at it I will send it if it sells

Here are the links to the pics above

6. Since this is fundraising, maybe you should cross post it in the Lounge

I'm sure Mods would grant you a waiver on that rule

cross link it back to here

Maybe Admin. could 'pin' the thread at the top of the forum?

7. thanks guys...actually

this is a bump but also I'm going to post in the "ask the mods" forum to see if anyone wants the item for sale on another site or something...

no bids on it yet...Remember this is for a good Cause and you'll be getting something for your money...
