I'm fine with not taking part, but you're right that a raffle might raise more. Unless there's going to be a bidding battle between at least 2 persons with a significant amount of disposable income. Which is certainly a possibility I guess. :)

2022-03-13 17:56:01 +0000 UTCA raffle gives everyone a chance. An auction means I simply cannot take part. I also bet a raffle could raise more money.

2022-03-12 21:36:06 +0000 UTCSeeing that a single book is now at GBP700 (which is awesome) in only a few hours maybe there could be items that are signed for regular purchase but that are limited in number so those of us with thinner wallets might have hope of obtaining them.

2022-03-12 21:15:57 +0000 UTCI think that is a great idea 💡
2022-03-12 17:44:09 +0000 UTCWould be fun to have an item or two every month that Patreon members could bid on. Books and site photos and such that are signed by everyone would be a treasure for most of us I think.
