2000AD ONLINE CHARITY AUCTION!!!

Rex Banner · 14 August, 2006, 03:54:20 PM

I honestly hope I can afford to keep it all, not sure how or where yet.

I do have a wedding to plan in the future so I may have to sell some of it at a later date. Just have to wait & see.

If and when you sell some pages for your wedding fund, you've got a buyer for some pages right here. Just give me a heads up when the time comes.

Oddboy · 14 August, 2006, 08:36:24 PM

Yeah... let us know if you don't want 'em!!

I won the Bogie Man book... everything else I wanted got too high for me.

Pete Wells · 14 August, 2006, 10:33:07 PM

Ggggr I?m on my hollys in Ibiza and I?ve been jumping on the net any time I can to bid. I got beat by a quid on two of the auctions (a Henry Flint and the Bison cover!)

Well done everyone who won (ye bastards:))

Pete (sunburnt loser!)

Didn't get anything...never mind. Nearly bid big last night on the Mandroid stuff, but the wine/wallet ratio was in the wallet favour...shame!

opaque · 14 August, 2006, 11:27:47 PM

Well I'm happy the Mandroid went to a proper fan as well.
Not far off your top price was I Matthewvic? How much were you willing to go to?
I'm getting a bonus from work so I bid to the minimum I'm know I'm going to get from that but obvious not enough and I might have to wait a couple of months to get the bonus.
You know you're going to have to post pics of the big pile when you get them!

Thinking of it though, and I just realised this, I already have 43 pages of Kevin Walkers Sin City!

I am however soon getting a plan chest for my collection so it'll be loads safer and flat rather than being in art cases propped up under my table!

I bid high early thinking that if somebody wanted them they would bid over the weekend & was completely surprised nobody else bid.

As for my top bid, lets just say the fiancee wasn't too pleased when she saw it.

Buddy · 15 August, 2006, 12:41:38 AM

As for my top bid, lets just say the fiancee wasn't too pleased when she saw it.

Just tell her that if you sold them at ?20 a page (which you could easily do) you'd get almost ?1500 back.

Not a bad investment.

Oh, and a very big thankyou should go to Kev Walker for donating the set, so from all at the board (especially mattewvic) THANK YOU!!!

Rex Banner · 15 August, 2006, 01:25:56 AM

Yes, many thanks, Mr Walker, rest assured they will be well looked after.

& a big round of appaulse for a job well done to everyone who contributed to the auction.

I got the Family book, which I'm pleased about, as I've been meaning to re-read it in one go.
I had a go at some of the art, but it was never going to happen. :-)

I'd be interested to hear the total raised, as I would estimate it would be in the region of a grand.

Cheers, and well done to the fund-raisers!

?3449.14.

Bearing in mind I've had a long day and have just done that in my head!

Not too shabby.

Trout · 15 August, 2006, 03:47:54 AM

You're joking!

Bloody well done!

Yeah, knocked me out of the Family book auction, oh evil fishy one.

Bah!

Sinister Vegas · 16 August, 2006, 02:05:16 AM

Managed to get the D'Israeli art which I'm well chuffed with as a big fan of Leviathan. Thought the Henry Flint stuff might go for more seeing as I spent almost double obtaining a page of ABC Warriors at Artdroids. Still well done whoever got it.
