Help me to help! I call upon the community
« on: May 15, 2008, 02:32:56 PM »
Well, I am maybe out of order here, but I ask it anyway. I'm a teacher and at my school we're preparing an action for Liberia. This country in Africa has been torn up by a civil war (to speak with Axel Rose: "what is civil about war anyway?") for the past 13-14 years. A large part of the population is younger then 14 years, so they have known nothing but war. Some of them were forced to serve in the amry, forced to slaughter others for no reason at all. The drama is beyond imagination.
At my school we are trying to make a difference for some of these kids. We are trying to collect money for a school. With a school kids can get an education, so a better chance in life. But not only get they education at school, also does the school provide food, something parents are almost not able to. The Dutch government multiplies our efforts by 3.7. That is incredible good news, for a new to built school costs roughly 50000 euro's which is like 75000 dollars. We 'only' have to collect 13000, to make the 50000 for the school.
I'm very eager to contribute the best I can. Therefor I will sell some of my cards -good ones I guess- for this purpose. The money is going directly to the school, I will keep nothing, not even the shippingcosts. So I hope that I will make you interested, not only do you get nice cards, also are you helping other people out! So the prices will be a little higher then what you will find on Ebay, but hey, it is for the better cause!

The 'auctions'

2x a 5 card foil lot, containing at least one Masterwork foil: 10 dollars. (or more ofcourse)
4x a 5 card foil lot, containing at least a rare foil: 7,50 (or more ofcourse)


These lots don't contain common Reflection rares, probably R+ foils.

Other 'small' auctions will follow.

Thanks in advance,

yours truely,

Heije aka Gil-Estel

It is possible to place a bid in this topic. State which lot you're interested in, followed by your offer. Lurtzy and TheJord already made it clear they are interested, others are welcome!

Payment can be made -after the auction is closed- via Paypal.

I would, but I'm broke, and gas is expensive, and I have college coming up soon.

Sorry. :(
