    Hi Everyone!

    Here we are at the end of another year! We have some parts of CoinTalk that aren't working anymore, such as the thread of the week, and stuff like that which is a bit beyond my skills to fix. So, I'm starting this fundraiser to be able to hire a decent programmer to dig in and fix up some of that stuff and maybe add in a few new toys for ya'll as my Christmas gift to the community.

    I'm going to be listing a number of things from my own personal collection on Ebay. Y'all are encouraged to put in a bid and take some of this stuff off my hands.

    to start with
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320459696007
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320459699804

    Now, I know some of you will say that you want to just donate directly. I'm not soliciting donations, but will add a button here for anyone who is kind enough to elect to do so:

    Silver and gold have I none (well, not much anyway), but what I have I will share. Merry Christmas!

    By the way if you put any of the LP1 Lincoln penny rolls on eBay, I'll bid ... I missed 'em and I have #2, #3 and #4.

    Thanks very much for the very kind response! Thanks for the donations, wishes, bids, and for the cards for my son's projects. A number of people have asked if they can put a coin or something in the card to my son, sure he'd love that. He just really needs the cards though (if you don't know what I mean about the cards, check your private messages, and if you didn't get the message please let me know). A couple of people asked if they could send gifts along to the kids, that's very kind but not what this is all about, but here's a link to their gift wish list, lol. Anyway, through the generosity of the community, things are looking very bright for the projects we'll be getting under way in the near future. Thanks again everyone!

    So, I started the day with 200 or so unread messages in my inbox, and am trying to give a personal reply to everyone. I'm down to 80 or so now, and still working. Thanks again to everyone for helping out, and anyone else who doesn't know what the heck I'm talking about don't be shy about asking. :)
