    That other thread is now over 100 comments long and its taking ages to scroll down them all. So I thought I’d start a simple one here, listing auction items promised/in the post to me so far and asking if anyone else has contacts they can use to get more.

    It doesn’t have to be cycling related. Just anything that might raise some money for my appeal? Get in touch.

    Er, but that doesn’t raise
    Er, but that doesn’t raise extra?

    Don’t get me wrong, I’ve donated so it works for me, but it only generates more if you manage to keep the momentum going via other channels (outside road.cc).

    EDIT: HOLY SH*T, I’ve been away for a few days and you’re at 83%! 😀 Forget the above, looks like you’ll be ordering before xmas at this rate.

    Right, Dani King signed
    Right, Dani King signed limited edition first day cover came today. I have pretty much made up my mind to run it as a raffle.

    So for every £5 donated = 1 ticket into the raffle.

    Does that sound fair? Rather than things going for stupid prices on ebay or auction?

    I may still auction on or two items, but the majority will be raffle prizes, drawn by someone independent from my appeal.

    SO everyone that has already donated is in the hat 😉

    Something simple #backcycling or #ootnaboot ? Will have a ponder. Be glad you’re indoors. Too many clueless winter drivers around. Look after your self.

    I don’t but if you think of one there are still 14 characters to be used, I could always pull the spare a tweet part aswell??

    All is as well as it can be, inches of snow, roads closed, accidents everywhere, -7 over night, but I don’t go out, so it doesn’t affect me really 😉

    It doesn’t have to be folding, but it would be a million times easier if it was, just for putting it in the shed, house or wherever on my own, Otherwise I’d need a hand to take it out and put it away everytime 😉

    My first item arrived this morning in the post, thanks to Richard Mitchelson http://www.richmitch.co.uk (richmitch) Its a Greg print

    Ah, got my beanie on and was sitting in my sleeping bag at the time, trying to save as much cash on heating because I’m home all day. But I get your point about hiding. I hide most of my life at the moment.

    The video wasn’t really for the public, just for GoFundMe to take snips from and use in one of their videos.

    I’m thinking some of the items are going to have to go to ebay. Just because of the volume that goes through there. Then some on my site and some as raffles for donation’s.

    I’ve made contact at the second hand one, but haven’t heard back. Seems expensive for what it is, so waiting on specs. The only thing being that it might not be folding.

    Trying to, although the rubbish internet link at work is making it stutter. First impressions are very good, although behind the hoody, beard, specs and beanie, you seem as if you’re hiding a little. I appreciate that may actually be the case (recording yourself is nerve-racking), and I hope you don’t mind me being honest. That said, all four of those things often describe my appearance as well and I’m fairly confident, so I may be talking utter nonsense – actually, maybe it’s because you’re sat back, almost ‘inside’ the hoody. But anyway, I’m nitpicking, it looks good for the bits I’ve seen.

    On the wider issue, I’m thinking you probably just need to ebay the majority of the items you have. Maybe have a couple just for road.cc or whatever, but this place probably doesn’t have the traffic to, for example, drive up the price of the Dani King first day cover. You’re at £1100 now, it wouldn’t surprise me if you were able to generate the same again from the auction items. If that 2nd hand trike turns out to be right for you, all the better.

    Wow, I think I just about did my video alright, so nervous just speaking to my own camera with no-one around and talking about myself.
