Not for profit auction.

[StoneRoses]

I have blatantly stolen Jimbos format for this auction and added my own twist.
I am auctioning off the following name with all the proceeds going to Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, the prices are set at specific amounts and what that amount will do to help, the highest bid 72 Hours after the last bid will be the winner, also i have put what each option will go to.
Pick an option and if no one else bids within 72 hours the name is yours for that price.
Once the highest option of £120 is selected the auction ends and they are the winner.


Orangutan.TV

£10 - Sponsor a wheelbarrow
£25 - Enrich an Orphan's Life
£50 - Feed an Orphan for 2 months
£100 - Rescue an Orangutan
£120 - Adopt an Orangutan for a year.

Anyone that knows me will tell you this is not a scam to try and get more money for myself, i already sponsor one Orangutan , and had a wordpress site on it previously, i am happy to provide proof of where the money went to the winner, this is about much more than money to me.
If this is not something you care about then it is still a chance to acquire a great name for a good price.

Please note all prices are in GBP you can find more info about the various gifts here

Nice idea Bob.

Can I be the first to start this off and offer £10 (pounds, not dollars) for a wheelbarrow.

I will, of course, not ask what an orangutan will be doing with the wheelbarrow!!!

Hope it goes well

I'll add Five Pounds but don't want the name - so if someone adds just TEN more... we can Enrich the life of an Orphan

Here the 10 pound needed.

I'm happy to do it....and I too wish not to have the name. If no one else want, then will take it.

A huge THANKYOU to Jimbo,Defaultuser and Speedaccu for you generosity.
However, i don't want this thread to turn into some begging thread trying to pull at peoples heartstrings, as i dont believe this is the place for this, so unless someone bids one of the higher stages then the name is Jimbos.
I accept responsibility for the confusion for not being clear enough in the format for the auction,as it stands Jimbo is winning with a £10 bid, the next step will be £25,so if for example someone bids £25 then the name will be theirs, but that is now the minimum offer to beat Jimbos bid.
Defaultuser and Speedaccu, you are both amazing for the kind offers,but i can not accept the offers, as it doesn't meet the auction criteria.
Again,sorry for any confusion, but ultimately i have to apply the same rules as i would for any other auction as its not fair, regardless of whether it sells for less or not.

So the situation so far is Jimbo is winning the name for £10
Again Defaultuser and Speedaccu thankyou for your generosity.
