Take, but I'm confused who to pay.

You can add me to that message thread as I'm Santa's Sharon's helper until she gives me the boot.

Take Moon knight 1 Newstand. Even $500. I’ll send $ to Jim’s PayPal now. Then I will send a screen shot of the proof of payment to  @BuscemasAvengers and @skypinkblu

Sorry for being so literal. It’s the newbie in me. And you guys rock for stepping up! All y’all. 

@BuscemasAvengers PM me cost of shipping and I’ll send you my address, etc. 

Feel free to add me to the thread with Sharon. I'm assisting her with tracking the thread.

Thank you R for doing the update. I'm going to be back around 10:30 pm, I'll catch up with pms then.  Thanks everyone

Thank you...I think I'm ok for tonight, but I appreciate the offer and I'll send you a PM later! 

Sharon and I had a quick chat earlier. She'll post later to confirm my involvement, but buyers can include me on their group DMs and I'll assist with tracking and messaging. Other than helping James, I mainly wanted an excuse to do fancy fonts. ✌️

[skypinkblu]

OK, important update 

I spoke with DavidTheDavid a little while ago and he kindly offered to take over the PMs regarding sales. David will PM both the buyer and the seller. He has Jim's PP address and access to the spreadsheet and I thank him a zillion times for the help. 
I will update the spreadsheet with the new listings, provide Jim's PP for anyone who wants to send a cash donation and help with the thread.

I'll continue with any PMs that are open regarding purchases made so far, so no need to change any that you have started. 

I think this will break up the tasks a little bit and make it easier for all.

I will post a nightly update of how many funds we've gathered so far.

Thank you!

I don't know Jim, but he's been a fixture here on the boards in my entire time here and I hate to hear news like this.  I'd like to help out in some small way.

Here's an eclectic mix of slabs.  All 9.8:

M.O.M. Mother of Madness #1 (Written by Emilia Clarke)

Sword Master #1

Tandra Wizard Ring: Book 2 #4

How about $100 for the lot?  I'll cover US shipping and split shipping internationally.

Hi everyone!  Before I get to the books I'm donating, I want to post up the fundraiser effort that I had just kicked off centered around my participation in the upcoming Dopey Challenge at Disney World from January 4-7.  What this entails is completing each of the races that they host on successive days -- 5k, 10k, half marathon, and full marathon, 48.6 total miles.  This was the basis for my charity thread this year, but after hearing the terrible news about jimjum, I'm happy to re-direct my efforts here.  

As I posted in my own thread, for anyone wishing to take part, please have fun with your pledges -- per mile, per race, per time goal, whatever!  The time goals I've set for myself in each race are as follows:
5k – 37:30
10k – 1:15:00
Half – 2:30:00
Full – 5:00:00

Total allotted moving time that I've given myself is 9 hours, 22 minutes, and 30 seconds.  Land speed records will not be broken.  Here is my own pledge, all proceeds to Jimbo, a friend of Jesus .

- $2 per mile, which I’ll round up to a total of $100 when all miles are completed.
- $50 per time goal met
- $100 if I come in under my total allotted moving time

So, if all criteria are met, that’ll be $400 total from me.  I'm very confident in the first three races, but admittedly 5 hours might be optimistic for the marathon.  We shall see though!

I'll update this post continually with any new pledges as they roll in:  In the interest of tidiness, I'd prefer you pm me any pledges, and I'll tag you and quote the pertinent details.  Donation period will stay open throughout the races as I see no need to put a deadline on it.  And I'll post results and other fun quips on a daily basis!  All updates will be posted in my event journal:

 

5k (unofficial) - 33:44
10k (unofficial) - 1:13:45

(Disney is updating the same page with all Dopey times, so I’ll post all four official results after the marathon.  So far my watch is pretty accurate to the official time.)

Member pledges

@Beige - "I pledge $1 per mile completed, sent direct to JimJum."

This way Jim can double dip. He will get the money for the sale, but he can also get whatever these books sell for at auction. 

Hey, sure, neat idea! I can create a consignment account to be the owner of any books sent to us on Jim's behalf, and will set that account with 0% commission so Jim will get 100% of the proceeds.
