Mission Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 At last I have something of merit to donate to the Dead Man's Chest Auction. Muhaha. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I hope to be back in form and frame of mind to donate this year. Last year nearly did my brain and soul in altogether. Once I get my teaching cert., I hope I can rest a little easier. I have several things in various stages of incomplete to finish. Just ran into a creative brick wall and couldn't touch anything without screwin' it up. Bo
jendobyns Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Would twisted wire (iron) forks and pewter tankards (used) be appropriate donations? I'm cleaning out my kit and have way to much stuff. I may find another home before then, but if not, I'd be happy to add to the cause.

Usually that's the kinds of items involved, a mix of new and used donated for auction to help support the cause, whatever cause that may be. Bo
jendobyns Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Ok, good to know. Is anyone collecting these things in a central location yet, or do we wait until closer to the day?

Mission Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 If I donate something, I usually bring it with me. So that's my suggestion.

Commodore Swab Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Maybe I should donate "Precious" and make somebody buy it . . .
Commodore Swab Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Actually this year I want to donate a small bronze boxlock pistol, if there is anybody out there who doesn't have anything to donate I wouldn't object to some help paying for some of the materials (namely the lock which is about $100).
madPete Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 I will donate towards the lock. Anybody else? chime in! Swab's weapons are one of a kind, this could be the star of the auction, well... as long as they don't auction any Bosuns again... mP Aye... Plunder Awaits!
Mission Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 I got my contribution for this year... Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Commodore Swab Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 So can we be expecting 2 items? This post reminds me so much of a slightly older posting . . . Posted 06 March 2011 - 12:26 PM At last I have something of merit to donate to the Dead Man's Chest Auction. Muhaha. Of course if the older posting is defunct I guess that means Im off the hook
Mission Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 Oh, that's bad. I even started the other post with nearly the same text. I guess I'll combine them. I should note that I got something when I posted that for the auction and then decided to keep it because I liked it and I knew it probably wouldn't fetch what I paid for it. This is more likely to get it's purchase price, or near to it. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Lily Alexander Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 For those of you that are planning to donate items and need to ship things ahead of time, please contact Scarlet Jai for shipping information. jaisomers@yahoo.com Once again, Thank You all for your generosity. If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin! http://www.forttaylorpyrates.com/
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Stil have a chest or do you need one knocked together for this years event? I have some forged items to send along and if you need a chest I should be able to come up with a simple solution as well. Bo.
Lily Alexander Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Thank you Bo. Fayma still has the chest and we use it year to year. Although, last year it was a little hard prying it out of her hands. She loves it so much. Your forged items are always such a bit hit and greatly appreciated. If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin! http://www.forttaylorpyrates.com/
