That's certainly a good idea and in a sense, an easy way for folks who don't have cash available to donate without having to dip directly into their pockets (tho' I should say sending Bob the funds direct at this Paypal or home addy would be best).
I only ask that all auctions be registered with me/Toyz, so we can keep track of the auctions (we'll provide a link to all auctions here on this or other appropriate thread) and so as to keep the scammers away from cashing in on our charitable efforts.

Instead of us having to run eBay auctions, for now I think folks would do best to host their own eBay auctions and, like I said, "register" it here so we can provide a link and keep it in the family.

To register, either post it here or best yet, PM/email me directly:

I apologize for the double post, but I just read this.
This is what I had posted elsewhere:

"I have a Bronto Jr. prototype pedal signed by Joe Gagan, along with a manual and certificate of authenticity.
What's the best way to set up an auction for it?
Do I do it with my own eBay account and then send the money to Bob?
Do I send the pedal to you and you take care of the auction?
Please excuse the ignorance. I just read about Bob a couple of days ago and want to help out.
Thanks.
Eddie"

Please let me know what would be the best way to proceed. I wish I could donate some money, but at the moment I can't

Best wishes.

Eddie

We changed the eBay auction system since my post that you have quoted in your post above. The following is what I editied it to be and the system folks can follow to post their eBay auction items:

Instead of us having to run eBay auctions, I think folks would do best to host their eBay auction under the bobsweetauctions account name.

All you have to do is email tr@musictoyz.com and Musictoyz will email you the password to login and do your auction under the "bobsweetauctions" acc't. name. It's actually very simple.
This keeps all the auctions in one spot, easier to search for, Musictoyz pays the eBay fees as courtesy to us and Bob, and we (all of us) can better stay on top of the funds getting to Bob directly.

You can PM/email me directly with any questions:

The NVN Bronto Jr. is up.
I hope I did it correctly, as I haven't slept in over 24 hours.
Best wishes.
