I'd love to donate one of these

but honestly I can't cover the postage cost, and have no idea how much it would cost to ship this outside Europe (or even inside Europe) in proper packaging so it doesn't get damaged. But then again people will be buying consoles, which would cost more to post, so I think this might find a buyer. What do you guys think?

Do you not have the original package anymore? As awesome as it is, I wouldn't trust shipping that in anything that isn't form fitting like the original package.ZeroAX wrote:I'd love to donate one of these
*awesome Tauren statue*

I actually have one of those Tauren figures still in the box. It's been sitting under my bed for like two years... I'll consider donating it.

Is it only an 'action' figure? Looked more like a decent sized statue to me. I guess teh lack of a base should have clued me in.

Um no it's a pretty big statue. Here's a picture of it next to my PS3.

Mine is glued to the base, cause it was the only way to make it stand. Almost sent someone to the hospital once. It fell from my desk's top self, and fell right between my and a friend's heads. 1.75 meter fall.... and nothing happened to the statue. It is really sturdy. With a bit of bubble wrap nothing will happen to it. But the cost of shipping will still be pretty big. In order to ship a DS game to California, it would cost me ~5€. I can't imagine how much it would cost to ship this beast.

Would the Auction be willing to take old strategy guides, foreign game books, or useless comic books, or should I shred those and use them as packing material?
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

Last year all I bought was old game books, and was quite happy with them!pakopako wrote:Would the Auction be willing to take old strategy guides, foreign game books, or useless comic books, or should I shred those and use them as packing material?

So yes please put them up for grabs, all is fair and cool in the name of charity (as long as your mind is not in the gutter.)
