ADVICE REQUIRED REF. Auctioning a pedal for charity.

BowynMadley

Changed categories to see if it may drum up some more options. I've had some great feedback so far and if anyone else wants to get involved please get in touch.

You probably all remember the charity auction/raffle on here some time ago. Long story short I won a lovely Thorpyfx Clone of a Free The Tone Overdrive and it's now surplus to requirements. Seeing as I obtained it through a charity thing I cant sell it on for my own gain and still sleep at night. Therefore I'm asking for some advice on how to go about organising an auction for it. Proceeds will be going to the Sepsis Trust which is a charity that is close to me. Would really appreciate your advice and help on getting this underway.

Thanks

Would a sealed bid auction on here work?

We could PM you what we're prepared to pay and the highest bidder take the pot.

What a wonderful thing to do... I had a friend die from Sepsis a few years ago.... I didn’t realise it killed so many in the U.K. every year

stick it on here, in an ebay type bidding affair, set the time limit and let everyone put in an offer. im sure its been done on here before

Its horrific. I lost a friend a few years ago to it and I was shocked how many people died from it and how little people knew about it.

Why not just a for sale thread in the classifieds ?

Can we just start?

I'll bid £50
