    IMO, the signed original sketch is worth > $250.

    Strictly UNOFFICIAL (this is a tease thread), but I'm considering giving it to a member that wins the Talisman auction-IF the auction price exceeds $1199.19.
    Only if a member wins.

    I'm tossing a few ideas out there to get feedback.

    The signed sketch could be used as a prize in our drawing (1st. prize being an inscribed King book-Winner chooses one of the Hodges trilogy, or BOBD) as a prize.
    I like that idea...

    Or simply auctioned by itself...

    Feedback please

    All three ideas sound good to me... if, by some slim chance, I win the Talisman auction, I would vote the first idea

    I like the idea of it as a 2nd prize in the drawing, and increasing the chances of those donating getting another amazing item. Might get more punters donating, and also up to the $100 max, so might be the best way to maximise Haven's donations. It's a fantastic piece.

    The sad part is that I don't believe the piece (worth >$350) would generate $350 extra in donations.

    It's good to discuss it, but we are at $11K in total raised this year and our goal of $18K simply won't happen. Doesn't mean we are going to quit and walk away with our heads hung low, just that sales (ebay auctions) generate more than donations.

    All the drops are appreciated. $100 gets a person 10 entries for the grand prize. We have yet to commit that the signed sketch will be second prize. it would be tough to not make it a prize if members donated over $500 for it to be second prize.
    We shall see.

    This is still unofficial, so please withhold donations for this until clarified,

    1st choice: I think it'd be really cool to offer it to the winner of the auction if they are a member so that it could go along with the books. Maybe not give it away but offer them 1st shot at purchasing it and all monies going into the HF pot. 2nd choice: Whatever would benefit the HF the most.

    You could always raise the cap from 10 to 15 or 20 entries. I think that would help draw more to donations. I donate over the 100 mark but I know it would definitely make it easier to drop even more if there were possibly more entries as well which could then entail an even cooler set of prizes with higher donation amounts.

    I'm not changing the cap rule now. Certainly something to consider if we do the fundraiser next year, but changing that rule this late in the fundraiser wouldn't be cool.
    Besides, If you want 20 entries, donate $100, and have your wife/significant other donate $100. Voila 20 entries.
    It's not capped at 10 per household.

    Those are some good thoughts, but then wouldn't it become incumbent upon us to come up with cooler and more valuable prizes? That would hurt auctions to some extent I'd think. It's already pretty hard to come up with new and cooler auction items every year. Certainly though, we need to discuss it further and have some meeting of the minds. The HF needs to be more fluid and changing year to year for sure. Thanks for the input!!!


    Spoiler:
    FWIW as it is I start hawking for auction items for the next year on May 20th!!! LOL LOL
