    Default A request from an old friend

    Hello All

    It's been a while since I sent a message to the larger King community, and don't worry, this isn't a big request, but the fulfilment of a promise to an old friend.

    This friend - Marie - will soon be walking the not-so-nice bits of the Great Wall of China to raise money for a local Cancer Hospice. At first, I just dutifully gave her my donation, but over the past months I've come to realise that not only will this trek be far removed from a walking holiday, it will be gruelling at times.

    So, I've donated a signed King book, which she's now listed on Ebay.

    Click Here to take a look

    Yes, it's a book club edition, but it IS an unusual volume to find signed. And ultimately, it's a genuine signature. Please do take a look - it's a very good cause.

    For those of you interested in knowing more about Marie's quest, Click Here

    Thanks for reading
    Thanks for looking
    and, for those of you who do
    Thanks for bidding

    It's for a most worthy cause, Ceri. I set the ball rolling with a bid.

    Good cause, so I bid as well... and I don't even care for this story.

    Ceri, I'd like to place a bid but eBay won't let me - The Netherlands aren't included in the shipping destinations. Could you ask your friend Marie to change the settings of the listing?

    Hi Michaël

    I put together the auction on her account, so I've just added The Netherlands But (and this was another example of Ebay's bizarre systems) the only way I could add other countries was to add them with a different shipping cost. So shipping to The Netherlands (and anywhere else not listed in the original auction) is £13 instead of £12. But don't worry, we can adjust that at the end. Important thing is, should work now

    I hope you'll forgive this gentle bump

    I want to thank everyone who's bid so far - particularly Garrell, our current highest bidder. With 4 days to go, the total is wonderfully respectable

    But I'm sure there's someone out there just itching to both own Sai King's signature AND do their bit for a good cause at the same time.....

    Almost forgot - here's a direct link to the specific Cancer Care Hospice this auction is supporting

    Thanks folks. I'll bump one more time as the auction draws to a conclusion
