Cool idea V&V. I hope you mishmashers don't end up with some bastard.

Yeah, that would kind of stink if, say, MeLa won and she turned out to be a 40 year old man who doesn't like to drink.

fatheed, are you entering it?? Are you just going to copy and paste your comment into an email to stumpyhorse as your submission?? Maybe you should draw a little picture to go with it.

i don't feel great about my odds of winning, but i'm going to keep my eye on it!
valorandvellum
   valorandvellum on Jul 24 '07 at 10:37pm
Haha, you never know! Also, I did a test print of a 13x19 poster (borderless) and it looks good! I might be selling those as well. Are you on aim right now? I don't see you.

jstumpenhorst
   jstumpenhorst on Jul 25 '07 at 10:44am

chelly
chelly on Jul 25 '07 at 10:45am
aw, why doesn't the entire world work that way?

is gambling still illegal? we should set up a bet as to how much this is going to sell for.
valorandvellum
   valorandvellum on Jul 25 '07 at 10:47am
Oh no, Jared! I mean... oh YES.

chelly, I know of some native american reserve land where we could legally gamble.

By the by, who is bedwyr_bedrydant?

   Raid71 on Jul 25 '07 at 3:26pm
is the original signed?
valorandvellum
   valorandvellum on Jul 25 '07 at 3:29pm
Yes, it is! Unfortunately, I was a re-re, and signed it too far off to the bottom so it gets cut off in the frame. But it's technically still there!
valorandvellum
   valorandvellum on Jul 25 '07 at 8:16pm
$122.50!!

That's nothin'

I bet it goes up past $200

That would be nice!

You would have more hits if you had the word Threadless in your title though.

i got an email saying that this auction was cancelled! what's up?
Raid71
   Raid71 on Jul 27 '07 at 7:41am
I got the same email... what's happening?!?!
valorandvellum
   valorandvellum on Jul 27 '07 at 10:22am
Explanation at the top. This is ridiculous. Why didn't they tell me this when I initially posted it instead of halfway through the auction?? Chances are, I'll just relist it, but ugh, that's so inconvenient! I'm sorry, guys!
jstumpenhorst
   jstumpenhorst on Jul 27 '07 at 10:32am
that sucks!! i think you should relist it!! i will be happy to start with my last bid!! i think this is raising some good cash and could go higher to help the cause!!
valorandvellum
   valorandvellum on Jul 27 '07 at 10:34am
Thanks, Jared! I feel sort of let down by the random pulling, but I will NOT let the man win!! Yeah!!
ladykat
ladykat on Jul 27 '07 at 12:19pm
OMG I was about to ask you about this... what crap!! Is that actually in the eBay rules (about how you can't mention fundraiser without it being one of their "approved" charities)???
ladykat
ladykat on Jul 27 '07 at 12:21pm
... I've been looking on eBay again, and it's certainly not something they make clear upfront! In fact, I have yet to find that rule. Grrrrrr.
ladykat
ladykat on Jul 27 '07 at 12:21pm
They don't charge you the fees when they remove a listing, right????
ladykat
ladykat on Jul 27 '07 at 12:26pm
Still haven't found the rule, not even on the charity or fundraising listings page!!!!
MrDomino
   MrDomino on Jul 27 '07 at 12:27pm
That is exactly why I don't operate with Ebay. I feel filthy enough having a paypal account that I realized I don't need. I think the auction is the best bang for the buck option in terms of getting an international blogger here, but I can't think of anywhere else to do it. We should all just start a site for that kind of thing that isn't run by douchebags.
angelito
angelito on Jul 27 '07 at 12:47pm
ohh that sucks! gah.... and it was going so well too! Oh well I'm sure if you do relist you will still kick some ass with the amount of money you will get for them
valorandvellum
   valorandvellum on Jul 27 '07 at 12:56pm
Kate, I never saw anything about that either. In the notification email, they did say they won't charge me the seller fees (which really, is the least they can do). Why couldn't they just have me change my wording on the listing??

I'll try to relist it tonight if I have time.
ladykat
ladykat on Jul 27 '07 at 1:00pm
Relist it again without the reserve price, and at the minimum value - so they get fewer fees. I'll personally guarantee that if it's not bid up again by the time I see it, I'll put in a bid for $100.
cbuchholz
   cbuchholz on Jul 27 '07 at 1:00pm
Stupid morons!! That's ridiculous.
valorandvellum
   valorandvellum on Jul 27 '07 at 2:32pm
Ok, Kate, that sounds good!

That's what we're saying, Chris! I'll bet they're going to keep the seller fees (all $2 of it) and then charge me again when I relist. That's how they getcha!
valorandvellum
   valorandvellum on Jul 27 '07 at 8:27pm
The auction is back on. Stupid ebay. If they pull it again I'm just going to sell it for a flat rate from etsy or something.
jstumpenhorst
   jstumpenhorst on Jul 27 '07 at 8:42pm
just bid!! at least i can be winning again for a little while!!

All about me
I like lots of music, but The Smiths are the best. I eat too many bean & cheese burritos. I get carded all of the time, sometimes for rated R movies. I probably spend too much money on good wine and chocolate. I would rather watch cartoons than sit through a ceremony of any sort.
