Spreading the Christmas Joy, Holiday Auction
November 30, 2009Remember those animation cells I gave away a few months ago? The Spidey animation cells from the 90’s? These ones:
I figured, this Christmas, instead of giving it away to someone who already has enough in his life, I would auction it off. The proceeds will go to a homeless family’s Christmas dinner.
They aren’t worth much, maybe $7.00 each, or about P300-P350. That’s not the point, though. I need your help, guys. I mean, sure we can do something greater, something grander, but I think it’s a good start, yes? We’d give more if we could, right?
Here’s the plan:
- Bids are entered via comments. Indicate which animation cell you are bidding for. C’mon, guys, it’s for a cause so don’t be stingy. I hope you guys put up more than it’s actually worth.
- Come December 18, 2009, the highest bidder wins the animation cell.
- I’ll take the monies and come Christmas night (24th or 25th, depending on when I can find a homeless family here in Makati), I’ll buy some good food for a homeless family here in Makati. There are a lot of them, actually, over at CBD. The winning party may come with if he desires, but that’s Christmas, so I doubt it.
It’s a simple gesture, but it might make some folks out there a little happier this holiday season, yeah? Let’s c’mon, people!

Thanks for the bids, guys!
I will be matching the bid for the first animation cell, and Mel will be matching the amount of the second.
I made a deal with a friend of mine (I’m not sure if he wishes to remain anonymous). He will buy an action figure I put up for sale for 2 times the price provided I donate 50% of it to the fund. I’m going to donate 100% of it if he gives me 2x the price.
All in all, we’ve raised about P4,000 for what I’m now calling the Comicology Christmas Fund.
I need help now, though. It has gotten to a point where I just can’t handle the execution alone. Mel has given great suggestions on how to do this. I’d like to hear more, though. If you’ve got any ideas, please leave a comment. Thanks!
Posted by comicology at December 1, 2009, 12:46 pmI would like to bid 1500 on the 1st cell, partly because I want it but more so because I hope someone seriously outbids me.
