Auction to benefit Joey/Placebro's family (sticky pls)

[cal62887]

I'd gladly pay full BB.com price just for the cause behind it, but I guess I can just donate additional money after my purchases are done.

That's the idea. I'm sure there are a ton of people willing to pay much more than bb.com price but they can always donate some extra cash. There will also be people looking for a good deal, and we realize that. Whatever raises money for Joey's family.

[DanND33]

Everyone will get deals and help support a family.

Right now we're placing product 20% below BB.com value and free shipping. There are also donation buttons for $5, $10, and $25 if you'd rather go that route

The product is priced to move and priced so you can purchase multiple items which will help us with shipping costs.

can you donate more than the highest of $25?

[Anna516]

can you donate more than the highest of $25?

thanks for the neg...and donating more than 25 is very kind of you

[cal62887]

can you donate more than the highest of $25?

Yea, I'm sure you can just buy multiple of whatever donation you want to make. Or make different transactions. I'm sure once the storefront is made, I'll be able to get more information to you. CROWLER is doing a great job with it so far.

I still haven't decided whether to ship wristbands to everyone who donates or make the wristband available for purchase. Seems as though everyone who donates and does not purchase product, I'd like to get a wristband to.

maybe at the check out section have the option to "add wristband" so you know that the they want one and you're not sending them to the ones that don't?

is bb.com going to allow this? you guys are competition

[CROWLER]

Website is basically done. It will probably be live by Monday

Just have to get an exact number and what size each product is from Cal and Illa

So the website will NOT go live until it is double checked to make sure everything is accurate. Right now it is just a test site which you can't see unless you have a log in and password.

As I say Just have to get an exact number and what size each product is.

I believe that will be done by Monday.


I am sorry to say the website looks really bad. But I hope it will serve its purpose.

It is not because of lack of trying on my part. I am just not really a web guy. Just thought this might help out.

It is because the pictures of the products I have just gotten off the internet. I didn't have the files of each product.

I hope its does Joey's family a service as that is all that matters now.

I wish I could have done better for them and I hope it is enough.

[cal62887]

Mike - It's honestly incredible


You and your company have gone above and beyond. I can't put into words how much I appreciate your help with this.

[CROWLER]

screw my company it is just me


But to be serious for a second. I just got a picture of Joey so I could put it on the website.

I didn't know Joey online nor offline. But to look closely at his picture and realize he is not here and how so many many lives have been tragically effected it really hits you.

He us a son, a friend, possibly a brother and also a boyfriend. WOW so young.

[The Big Sleep]

I did not know Joey in person nor on the forum but after reading about him I cant help but feel compelled to donate to his family. Its great to see the camaraderie amongst the users on the forum when such tragic things happen. I lost one of my closest friends to cancer in high school and not a day goes by where I dont think about him, so I can empathize with those who were close to Joey.

[poison]

in for some deals!!!!

is bb.com going to allow this? you guys are competition

I mean this in the nicest, most sincere way possible: shut the **** up. You're the type that would crash a funeral and ask the family if they're done with the flowers yet. Seriously, get some tact, and get a life.

This is an EXCELLENT idea. This will give people multiple options.
- Buy just product
- Buy product and donate
- Just donate
I suggest that the donation buttons be set up like product, that way people can put multiple donations in their basket so that the total donation equals whatever total they feel the need to give.

Seriously...this will last mayber 1 or 2 days. This is a one time charity event that will help ease the families financial burden. Absolutely no competition for BB.COM.

I say put the wristbands up for sale or they come free with X amount of a donation.
Example: Buy X product....get X product. However if you add a donation of X amount you get a wristband. If given away, they should only be given away to people making donations. If they purchase product solely, they are already getting a deal.

With that said, this is all for a good cause, so you really can't go wrong.

on spread as always.

Anna, I don't know what the hell else we can do to let you know you're not welcome - especially in threads like this and our chat thread. You do nothing but offend and distract in your desperate attempts at getting some attention. Want us to pay attention to you? Do or say something of merit - I'll make sure to pay attention to that (if you're even capable and I'm very dubious of that).

[DanND33]

Guys: don't waste your efforts on her (and distract from this thread)

Just neg her if you dislike her posts. That's what I do :shrugs:

[ajerone]

God bless those who have been active in this initiative, can't wait to support in any and every way that I can, the support in here is absolutely beautiful. rest in peace, friend. This thread is testament to how you will love forever in many, many of our hearts.

Poison's post of the year.

Also, it is really awesome all the time, effort, and money that everyone has (and will) put into helping out Joey's family. It's really amazing when you can first hand witness communities coming together like this.

Maybe we could get forum admin to change her screen-name to "negative nancy" or "Polly pissy pants".

[Jeff the Repper]

It is nice to see everyone step up for this. There are some true "class acts" here.

[DiabeticLifter]

or a ban for HER personal attacks....

[SheWulf]

Wow, It is amazing to see all the support in this thread! It really goes to show what an amazing person Joey was. He left a lasting impression on so many people that he never even met in person. Joey was a really remarkable person, that's easy to see after reading all these posts.

[antihero]

or a ban for personal attacks....

I'd call it an observation.

[DiabeticLifter]

I thought your statement was directed toward me, hence the observational comment.
