+bikinibottomfeeders Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) This is a good thing READ ON!!! Please don't mention any specific charities this thread it is just an inquiry as to how much geocachers have given back. Sort of a holiday charity thingy. When you post please add how much your coin raised for charity and the previous persons total Starting at: $0.00 so the first poster will have the easiest job I don't think this violates forum rules regarding charities since we are not discussing specific charities but let me know if it does. If you don't want your name or coin listed just email me through my profile and I will list anonymous and approximately how much the coin went for. thanx, bbf Edited December 15, 2005 by bikinibottomfeeders Quote Link to comment

+bikinibottomfeeders Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 how does one go about getting a topic pinned? I think that many geocachers would like to see this type of information. Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I'm not sure this is a pin-able thread. Geocoin collectors would be interested. Cachers, maybe. Just bump it if it falls too far off the page and let's see how the interest goes. We can't have too many pinned topics or what's the point? Let's see how the posting goes first.

Parrolet Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I was wondering what have been the total fee charges paid that did not get to go to the charitites? Or that came from your pocket? Is there only that one way of listing to show it's for a charity? Quote Link to comment

Or that came from your pocket? Is there only that one way of listing to show it's for a charity? If I sell a coin for $501 and designate 100% to charity the charity gets exactly $501 dollars of that. Any fees that paypal and Ebay charge are incurred by the seller. Edited December 15, 2005 by pdxmarathonman Quote Link to comment

Is there only that one way of listing to show it's for a charity? If I sell a coin for $501 and designate %100 to charity the charity gets exactly $501 dollars of that. Any fees that paypal and Ebay charge are incurred by the seller. In addition, for 100% charity specified auctions, eBay matches your fees in a donation as well. So the charity actually gets a few dollars more than the closing bid in the end. Quote Link to comment

+bikinibottomfeeders Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 I don't know about all the negativity going on but i think some people have reason to be proud of themselves. over $10,000 has been raised by geocachers this year and this doesn't even include what we do as a group by CITOing! I am honored to be a part of something like geocaching. I know that some of us annoy others but man take a step back during this holiday season from all the pettiness and look at the good. I think this rocks and would like to personally thank all those who have sold their coins for good causes and also would like to thank all those who bought the coins and contriubuted their hard earned money. thanx, bbf Quote Link to comment
Parrolet Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 (edited) What should I do? I want to do a charity auction for a certain place but they haven't had time to get registered with that place they have to yet. Should I go ahead and and start the auction to get it done and over with by Christmas as a gift to them? Or wait for them to get registered? Edited December 20, 2005 by Parrolet Quote Link to comment
