    Guess What I Found On Ebay

    A LARGE assortment of lenses.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/LARGE-LOT-OF-FIN...QQcmdZViewItem

    Wish I could pick them up for the charity work.

    Kinda makes you wonder what a "large assortment" is, don't it.

    If someone is feeling generous this Christmas, we could use them for the charity work here. I can get rid of the yellow very easily. It would be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry if I sound like I'm begging, but there are times when....

    Jacqui I could donate $30.00 towards their purchase. If you could get a couple more people to throw down you got yourself a lot of lenses. Let me know what email you'd like me to paypal it to.

    Sounds like a good deed. Count me in. I always try to do a few things for charity at Christmas. My family has lots of stuff - they don't really need many gifts. So several years ago hubby and I started cutting back a bit on the family and spending the $$ on a charity. Family doesn't feel they have missed out and we get a better feeling.

    Jacqui, if you decide to do this, you might consider starting a "chipin"

    http://www.chipin.com/


    It's an easy way to show how much you need, why you need it etc ...


    I'd be in for part of it, too ~



    (glad to see there's interest in making this a reality)


    :cheers:

    (I live close enough that I'll probably place a small bid, so let me know what you have in mind for your needs...)

    You'd better hurry with the bid, there's only 2 hours left !!!

    I'm thinking as many as I can find money for, but should be a decent assortment.

    Why bid this thing up in a frenzy to get a bunch of lenses, split the pot. Lets say the bid goes in and Jacqui and Johns want it the bid is $500.00 so jacqui gets 15,000 pair and Johns gets 15,000 pair. Jacqui let me know what's up here I like good causes. Let's brooker a deal behind the scenes and save some real money.

    That's really what I was thinking. I would take part 1/2 or 1/3 or whatever and Johns would get the rest.

    Half hour left. I would bid, but for some reason Ebay no longer likes me.

    That's actually illegal. I think they call it collusion or something. (I know at live auctions it is anyway.)

    I could us the 30,000 w/ all the programs we have going on, bu let me know what you need, and I'll send you some.

    Which one of you entrapeneurs got the lenses for $500. That's like $100/ton.:bbg:

    If they are going for charity, let me know and I will send you the money I was going to spend on my mother-in-law for Christmas.
