Silent Auction & Raffle

*This post has been approved by James Kimball*

Hello everyone,

My daughter Cerra (she plays Jasmina) has been recently accepted into an Ambassador program.  Out of a few hundred nominated applicants in NY, she is one of only forty that were accepted into the program. She will be leaving for Europe in the summer but before that we are doing some fundraising for her tuition. As much as I love my collection (which this auction is coming from), I of course love my children more and gladly offer these prized possessions to the Knight Realms community.  There will be a Silent Auction for some books and a Raffle for comics.  I’d like to thank you all in advance for your support of Cerra.  Those who win the Auction and Raffle will also be invited to a presentation that Cerra will have upon her return from Europe as well as a DVD of her pictures.  If anyone has any questions about the program, you can absolutely contact me or Cerra for more information.

All information (raffle and auction), pictures of items and updates will be kept in this topic.

Chris Ayala  ;D

Autographed Books from Michael Moorcok (name intentionally spelled wrong due to filter)

Brief History:
I have had these books in my collection for the last 7 years or so.  Mr. Moorcok donated these from his own personal collection to an Autism Agency for a charity fundraiser.  I was the one who initially contacted him and asked for this donation for the agency.  I did not believe that he would be so generous.  I eventually won these at the auction as I am a huge fan.  Unfortunately, I no longer have the email that confirms that these were from his personal collection, but anyone that knows of his character would not doubt it.  I am only holding this auction for the players of Knight Realms because I would prefer that these books would go to someone who would appreciate them for what they are and not their cost.

Silent Auction Instructions:
If there are any questions about the books, please post or sent me a private message.

Bidding:
*Edit * Bidding can be as low as $1 increments. Bids that include cents will be rounded up to the nearest dollar.
Please private message me ONLY.  Include your name, item number, and bid (Example: Joe Shmoe, Item#2, $30). I will send each bidder a confirmation of receipt.
If you are outbid through out the day, you will receive a message from me stating
“You have been outbid. Current Bid: $___”
At the end of every evening (about 7 or 8pm EST), I will post the end bid for the day.
Bidding will end: Thursday April 24th, 2008 @ 10pm EST

Raffle Tickets:
$2 for 1 ticket
$15 for 10 tickets

Tickets can be received in two ways:
1. Send a money order to me (pm for address and instructions) and your tickets will be mailed to you.
2. Purchase tickets from me before or after a KR event.  Do NOT approach me during the course of an event.
At the end of the Raffle, the winner’s ticket numbers will be posted.  Any prize unclaimed after a week will have a new pulling.  There will be an observer to make sure there are no shenanigans.

Silent Auction Ends Tomorrow so get those bids in!  Please read the instructions to post a bid in the begining of this post for more information!

Remember to get those raffle tickets also!!  I'll be selling them before and after the anniversary event!!

The silent auction and raffles are over!  All winners have been notified!  I would like to thank James for allowing us to do this and everyone who donated either for the raffle/auction, bought food from Cerra or mysterious benefactors who simply gave without wanting recognition.

It's still not too late if you would like to donate.  There are still a few more weeks before Cerra's deadline. PM me for more details if you like.

Again, thank you all so much!

Chris

Next raffle connected with Kr, have me buy your tickets.  I spent 50 of Norm's SP at the annual dinner, and he won a nice trinket.  I bought Joe Dios' tickets along with mine.
