Multiple Miniature Collection Sale

[Valloa]

@Agentmolar   Probably not as pissed as I got having to wade through it and not being able to tell it from the rest of my email until I opened it.   :tantrum:  It pretty much stopped after I posted about it, thankfully!  I have been accepting private donations and due to an incredibility flooring action from one gentleman we cut the amount left to raise by half in a day!  If you were thinking of a miniature donation, though, I would still have to decline at this point because...

We only have 1,000 USD left to raise!!!! That's an amazing feat considering the overall cost of the aids and the relatively small price of miniatures compared to that.  Taking into account what is up for auction, whats going up tonight and tomorrow and store traffic, I think we will have the 1k before any additional items could be shipped to us or run through the length of an auction so it would be unfair to do so. But thank you VERY much for the offer!  If you would still like to help, please by all means bid or buy yourself a pretty or contact me via pm. :)  I certainly won't object!

Eep. Thanks for the heads up!  I've fixed the listing.

[Impact! Minis]

due to an incredibility flooring action from one gentleman we cut the amount left to raise by half in a day! 

That would be one of my two business partners at Impact! Miniatures who is an award winning painter.  He offered to paint a 13 figure team for one guy for $450 and sold one of his 5 already painted teams for $500 and donated the entire $950 to the effort.

Add this in with the Chaos All-Stars auction which I hope to go around $250 when done and we've been really glad that the Impact! partners and our loyal customers willing to pay for our stuff have helped get Alex that much closer to hearing.

Tom @ Impact!

[gi6ers]

Restores my faith in human kindness, I still want to know who the pondlife naysayers were though.

[Bungle]

@bungle I took a look through all the loose stuff, thus the late reply, and didn't see any Rafm heavy gears.  :(

Maya~

Thanks for spending all the time looking.

[Fabian]

Well done! I wish I'd been able to get some of the spyglass stuff earlier. Maybe I can get something else though! Good luck!

Congrats on the home stretch! Very pleasing news...Ive purchased some mordheim goodies from you and awaiting the package at the moment.. however im tempted buy some more of your auctions. I still think naming and shaming the bloke who had a go at you would be a good move. Even if its here, this community is small and we need to out buzzard*s like that.
Never the less Im glad my small contribution has helped towards your goal.

[Valloa]

@Tom  Impact! and your customers have taken us a massive leap forward. We would be ebaying through Alex's birthday in Feb if we had not received the help that folks on the web and particuarly Impact!

@gi6ers  Yes it certainly does restore your faith when you find wonderful people with a true desire to help from the miniature community.

As for the naysayers there are those out there who have already pegged these people but I will not confirm or deny it as these would get off on the attention. Since I posted on the matter they have decided to leave me alone, which is all I want at this point so I can concentrate on Alex. 

@Bungle  No problem.  :) 

@Fabian Thanks for the well wishes :)

@Agentmolar     It's wonderful to be on the home stretch!  We are so close and it's a wonderful thing!

Greetings to all,

Last night was a milestone in our quest to pay for Alex's hearing aids. When all the auctions currently up have been paid for, we will have reached beyond the goal of $5000 we needed.  Next week, after all the auctions are ended, we intend to do a final accounting and post on all boards.We know everyone is anxious to see what your efforts have achieved in the past few weeks.

While we have probably passed the final goal when all the people have paid for tonight's auctions, we have put up a last batch of auctions of donated items which arrived in the mail today, and those last auctions will end on the day after Christmas.  We were told by the people who donated the items to auction that if we reached our goal before their items arrived in the mail, we could just keep them or auction them and keep the money rather than return them. We have no intention of keeping them or the money from the auctions.   There are two reasons we are putting them up as a final auction: one, they were donations intended to help Alex; two, although we will have reached our goal, we think the donors would like to see their donations go to good use.  After subtracting the cost of Alex's hearing aids from the total raised, we intend to "pay it forward." Any money left over after paying for the hearing aids will be donated, in honor of everyone on the boards, to another child in the miniature community whose illness has caused financial hardship on the parents. We estimate that sum should be considerable. It is only fair that we take the money we do not need beyond our original goal and help another child. Also, as soon as the last auction has ended, we will be closing the eBay store and removing all items.  They will not be needed again until Alex is ready for his first upgrade in 6 months and that sum is one we can manage by ourselves.

Monday, we will be setting up an appointment for Alex to have impressions made and hopefully he will have hearing aids within the next two weeks. You will never know how grateful we are to the many people on the boards who stepped forward to help, by sending good wishes, donating items for auction, selling their painting services, buying from the eBay store, bidding on the auctions, donating money raised from their own auctions, paying extra for their purchases to donate to Alex, and to those who gave cash donations.  We had no idea that it was possible to get this far in a few short weeks.  Miracles do happen and Alex will be hearing soon.  We will keep everyone informed of Alex's progress and also post when everyone has paid and we have reached a final amount. Have a wonderful holiday from our family to yours.

Valloa (Maya), Anatora (Ann) and Alex
