I wonder if there is a way to sell the items here but like an auction. Get people to place bids as a donation?
i think "auction" is out of the law of classifieds... i don't know about with in "supplier
thread" maybe a
mod could help us help out...
Dang Rules!

I don't know, maybe they could do it as a charity auction or something.
I am very sorry to hear about the passing of one of our members. It must be a very difficult time for the family. I am sure all of our thoughts and prayers are with them during this time.
While I understand the good intentions by wanting to help the member's family, I am afraid that we will have to think of something else besides an auction on ECF. While it is difficult to say no, we are almost forced to because allowing it in this instance would open the door to it happening on a regular basis.
I can assist by helping the member's mother bypass the usual waiting time to be able to post in the classifieds. And certainly we would not object to a couple of links being posted in the forum directing people to the classified listing on an exception basis.
if Chris's mother does establish an account you can contact me and I will facilitate her being able to get a listing up in the classifieds ASAP. Or if you do decide to do an auction off of ECF, I can assist with allowing some links to be posted directing folks to the auction.
I would be happy to assist in any way possible while doing it within our existing guidelines.
Just let me know how I can help.
