Left 4 Dead Working HP Backpacks
Date: 16 March 2011 03:10 (UTC)Email address: nightengale AT nightengale.org
Examples of my work: in-girl.deviantart.com, nightengale.org, nightengale13.etsy.com
Offering: As many Left 4 Dead HP backpacks as people want to buy from me. I know this is an auction setting but I am able to make multiples, so it would be cheaper for each person (and more money raised overall) if I were allowed to provide as many as were requested instead of opening only one bidding thread. Just a bunch of people could comment with "Buy it Now" offers on this thread. I did a similar thing at the Live Long & Marry auctions in summer 2008.
Fandoms (if appropriate): Left 4 Dead video games.
Additional Info (optional): Part of the "starting bid" I'm asking would go to me, and part to Japan. This allows me to fund the purchase of the supplies, as well as cutting a large amount out of what I'd normally accept for a standard commission and turning it around to help Japan.
I'm already offering this on my dA, FB, and website; I heard about this site and wanted to add my effort too.
Please understand that I am not in a financial position to spend 6+ hours on constructing each bag and make no money off of it; I have to pay bills and my sewing is my full-time job. I am not being greedy, I promise. $50 for 6+ hours of work and the costs of 6 different supplies isn't actually as big a number as it sounds like.
However, I felt that cutting out the profit and sending as much of the cost of each item as I can to Japan is something, rather than nothing.
If a not-100%-charity offer is not accepted here, I completely understand and will rescind my offer.
Starting Bid: $70 USD each pack. That works out to about £44 or €50. So for the format of this fundraiser, if you send $20 USD/£12,5/€14 to the charity directly, then the rest to me, that'll work just as well.
