Charity Sale Pool/Snooker Books

Hi All,

Thanks for all the suggestions on the books. Couple of suggestions were very good, some had expressed interest in buying the whole lot.. but 100usd max offer in my opinion is too little so after much thought over it, i decided that it would be too uneconomical and practical to ship the whole lot to USA. i would like to maximise the sales so that more goes to charities, and at the same time have more players benefit from these books.

i'll try to ship the books out every saturday, what i will do is run ten auctions on ebay at one time (1st Mar to 8th Mar). It will end three days before a Saturday, and winning bidders can pay through paypal. i cant figure out how much the shpping is going to cost unless i ship it, so pls only pay the winning bid. Once u receive the book, u can either paypal me back the shipping amount on the parcel or u can simply make another donation of that shipping cost to any charity u so desire i wouldnt mind as it all goes to charity.

All proceeds of the sale of books will go to Children Cancer Foundation http://www.ccf.org.sg/

If u have a charity of your choice its fine with me. just give me an address i'll ship the book to u, and u can donate that amount to a charity of your choice.

i know ebay does somekinda charity feature also, but i dun want the majority of the monies to end up in adminstration costs.

Best Regards
Raist

PS : Some of the books i will be listing, so keep an eye out i'll list auctions here...My brother sold one box of my books to the second hand bookstore for one singapore dollar per book when i was sick....! i will also sell the books to locals, but u have to come to me in my apartment. And please quote a reasonable amount in good conscience.

Raist, look for us to be bidding on your auctions and let us know if we can help you with this project in anyway. I will also say if we win your auction(s) we will add $25.00 to the total price for your charity of choice. Thanks your friends at Waldo's
 
Raist,

I think that this is a great thing that you're doing. As a former Marine, I’ve spent a good part of my life doing charity work. Currently, here in Miami where I live, I work with homeless shelters and treatment facilities for abused women and children. I think it's great when someone is able to look beyond their own needs and make a sacrifice for someone else.

I will definitely bid on several books that you have and will gladly donate the cost of the shipping fees to a charity of your choice or I can recommend some local charities if you'd like.

WAY TO GO RAIST!!!

Hi taiko,

i served 6 years in the Singapore Navy as a Senior Radar Technician/Petty Officer. were u involve in the Opsail in 2000 at New York harbour?

Anyway for all getting to buy the books. i cant collect the monies as i have some paypal issues. but i will honor all book sale and will send the book to all the winners without the payments.

upon receipt i hope u guys can give the money for the books to whatever charity u deem.. i think that is the best thing to do. i will start the book sale again as soon as my paypal gets started up again.
