I decided that it was time to sell the Green/Newman coin.

I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Always nice to place a name with an eBay handle.

Always thought make-a-wish was a cool idea for a charity.

Great cause, noble of you this time of year especially!
<< <i>Does the name add any value? >>
Lost coins,
Are you asking if the pedigree adds value?
Have you not been paying attention for the last few months?
Did you look at any results of the biggest coin auction in twenty years?
I have lost count of how many threads posted on this site which describe how much more money Newman coins have brought than expected.

While not the worse example ever, where should I draw the line for linking ones active eBay auctions on the main forum? Does it have to be a charity others aprove of or is my seal enough?
Also trumpeting ones actions even when doing kind deeds takes away much of the shine of said actions at least to me.

IMO, donating the proceeds to ANY charity particularly during the holiday season excuses publicizing a coin auction here.

Anywhere you like, whenever you like. .

Back here, having to deal with brain-flabby REMF's, allowing more permeable boundaries (more like a comfort zone) seem a reasonable adaptation (for him) to this environment. . As in "Right on, kids '. .

Auction has been ended. I will keep the coin.
Merry Christmas and out.
<< <i>What happened as I was just the high bidder and now it's no longer available >>
Don't know… I just marked him as a favorite seller and his post reminded me to donate some money to my nephew Brian and his wife Cody who up and moved to Haiti to serve the people a couple years ago. A kind gesture, it was. And a shame that the message was misconstrued.
<< <i>Screw it. I will just send them a check as I have done in the past.

OK whatever... Merry Xmas
I see nothing wrong with promoting a charity auction on this forum. I wish people, including coin folks, were more charitable.

Auction is a lot more fun than a check. At least for me to watch.

Yeah ... too bad the fun got sucked out of it for the OP as well. I was looking forward to seeing where it ended up.

Definitely a case where the meddlesome, self-proclaimed "thread police" should have minded their own business and upped their post count somewhere else. I hope the OP puts the auction back up so we can all bid for a good cause.

then give money to charity
or
you sell a coin you own and give that money to charity
?

Aiplanenut has charity auctions on here.
My vote is not spammish due to prior charity auctions

Is it the things the money is being spent on vs. Spending for a cure?
Can't let a vocal minority derail you like that.
There's a silent majority who nodded with approval at your kind intentions.
Cool coin btw.

<< <i>If the naysayers got to you, why not just delete this thread and keep the auction going? I was also watching it and willing to pay more because of the charity aspect.

excellent idea

considering the charity auctions performed here, e.g. airplanenut's, I didn't see the problem. I will not utilize my "I think" or "maybe" hedging and flatly state this was no different and the complaints should have been dropped lest we have no more charity auctions on the forum or perhaps all be forced to move to giveaways.
<< <i>Interestingly the coin is relisted on eBay, but the proceeds are not going to charity...

I made my annual donation to Make-a-Wish the day that I pulled the sale.
With the advantage of hindsight I would have let the original auction run. Figured at the time that pulling it was the best way to end the truculence.
