shirsan Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Does that include the Ebay items Gerry signed and donated? If not, when will we know how much they all brought and how that will be distributed? Love him so much for doing that. Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Elissa Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Shirsan, I believe these figures do include the eBay items. I would like to suggest that everyone who won something in the eBay auction, please take the time to leave eBay feedback for the Rising Phoenix to help the Foundation build up some positive seller ratings. This is important if they plan to do other auctions on eBay. Many frequent eBay buyers look at those numbers and ratings when deciding whether or not to bid. I know I do. Of course, since I know the Rising Phoenix, I didn't hesitate to bid, but others might not be willing to take a chance on a new, unfamiliar seller.

Songbird Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 The autographed items auctioned on Ebay were NOT included in the totals announced at the top of this thread. Marlene Richter, Executive Director of The Shade Tree has already written us an eloquent acknowledgment, and I am attaching a copy for others to read. I will post separately regarding the Ebay auctioned items. Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
