. . . Good Grief!! •• Not Another Charity Drive! . . .

Postby bennettoons on Tue Nov 03, 2009 11:03 pm


I know your generosity has been severely taxed these last couple of years . .

. . . but I just got wind of a newly-formed charity that is assisting folks in Iceland, where the economic downturn has had a pretty disastrous effect.

Proceeds from the sales of my 7 handcolored Icelandic FDCs this week will go to The Silver Lining Charity .

If you've got a minute, check out http://www.stampwants.com/search_results.php?username=bennettoons -- the covers all have topical tie-ins.

There are currently about 75,000 cows in Iceland.

Ha, now we know the true cause of global warming! :whistle:

Great cover, Dave!

Thanks, Steve! :D :D But 75,000 cows is nothing compared to 500,000 sheep!

It's all the same buyer - tlmish - who seems eager to pay vitually anything for any of Dave's covers! (Assuming this isn't Dave's Mom) then Dave should put alot more covers up for sale!!!

Thanks, Kurt! And thanks to anyone who took the time to look.

I guess mentioning sales here in the Forum does bring in eyeballs -- I had three to four times the number of 'Views' for these auctions that I normally do when I don't 'advertise' here! :D

I didn't get to the sniping phase but I'm glad to have bumped it up a bit with my proxy bids, which I thought were high enough. Duh, eh?

Thanks, Doug and Steve.

I got a very nice note from the lady who heads up the Silver Lining Charity thanking me for my donation and asking if we could do it again sometime!!
