Wasn't it this long last year?
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.

It's a little longer this year. Last year we started the auction later, shippers were supposed to ship by the 9th of January, and I sent off the charity check by mid-January. My logic then was that I would just personally cover any refunds (there was maybe one or two). This year there's twice the items and five times the amount of money at stake, so I want to give the items more time to arrive at their destination. If a postal carrier drops MrPopo's Valve bundle in a puddle, if repros get lost in the mail, etc. - I'll need to be able to reimburse them for their payment with PayPal. I won't personally cover that amount of loss (though hopefully the shippers insured pricier items).

So...I started taking donations for items in November, and the charity will get their payment in early/mid February. I'd say that's a longer process!

Thanks. The only thing I asked for confirmation about from someone is the Valve set from MrPopo. Otherwise, I will just assume that everything is peachy unless I hear different. Feel free to post when your items arrive here (and/or in the feedback thread) - but please don't flood my PM box with notices of received items!
