Title: EMERGENCY SALE: -goal reached!- THANK YOU GEEKHACK!!!
Post by: demik on Mon, 11 June 2012, 19:45:39

so my dog needs surgery. and i need money. i dont really want to sell my stuff, but my dogs are way more important than pieces of plastic (be it, it is nice plastic)

[STRIKE]first: my acrylic case made by litster. Never been used as it is waiting for phantom. im asking 250 for it + shipping.[/STRIKE] SOLD
(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=41039&d=1329612796)
second: 1 3D ClickClack MX and 1 3D ClickClack Topre. I'm taking offers on these.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20408132/Keyboards%20%26%20Keycaps%20(Cherry)/Photo%20Jun%2003%2C%205%2056%2001%20PM.jpg)

one thing to note.

I CANNOT SHIP UNTIL I GO HOME. Which should be at the end of the week.

Also, all payments must be made as goods. i will add paypal fees. i also want to keep this US only as I dont want to deal with shipping this stuff overseas.

thank you.


UP FOR AUCTION THANKS TO THE AWESOME GHER THAT IS EKW808!!

So sorry to hear about your dog, demik. I would do the same if I were in your position. If I had money, I would buy all your stuff and sell it back to you when you get flush again. Hope all goes well! GLWS?

I don't want to see demik sell his keyboards and keycaps to save his doggie, even thought I know my awesome acrylic case would fetch a good penny :-).  I know some of you feel the same way I do.  How about we start a doggie fund drive, we chip in a little to help demik through the tough time?

What do you say?

I am using this post to track donation for the Doggie Fund Drive.  Post here and I will update and then arrange donation later.  If you want to donate but do not want to make it public (either your name or the amount), just PM me directly.  Thanks.

I think this is a great idea. Although I can't donate anything until Friday when I get paid, I will definitely chip in to help Demik's doggie surgery fund.

I was thinking the same exact thing when I read your post demik, it would be great if someone could do that for you.
Having spent $1300 on our dog back earlier this year, I know the crappy position this puts you in :(

Post by: litster on Mon, 11 June 2012, 20:20:38

actually, Demik doesn't want too many gift payments because he wants to avoid PP problems, so please send him donation as goods or if you trust me, gift me the money and I will collect all and send him one gift payment.  Either way would work.  Thanks for the help to demik.  His doggie loves you.  

What's her name?

it's ridiculous how expensive vet bills get.

last year my brother's dog had a bone stuck in his lower intestine.. 2000 and that was without surgery. all this happened on xmas/xmas eve. we had to spend xmas at the emergency vet. luckily he was able to pass the bone eventually.

$30 to the Mika fund, (I'd give more if I wasn't typenow broke). I'll send directly to Demik to avoid double fees going to Paypal.

Thanks again for the help.  To people who sent me your donations, I am sending all donations to demik now.  

Keep bidding on those caps!  :-)

As litster stated, I believe I have enough to cover her bills now.


I seriously can't thank you all enough for what you've done for me. Especially Lit and tsangan for starting this because I was too chicken **** to ask for help.

Everybody that donated, whether it was cash, keycaps or kind words you are all awesome people and I hope one day I'm able to return the favor.

Again, if you donated and would like some of next month's keycaps do PM me.

Now I'm going to transfer the money from my PayPal to my bank account and set up her appointment so they can see her ASAP. I'll keep you guys posted.

Only _barely_ helps with checkups and cheaper meds.

Have you ever seen a cat come when it is called? The only cat instincts he has are for hunting. He has now acquired a taste for wild game...mice, lizards, birds, etc.

Some people just don't feel the same way about pets.  Worked with a guy willing to take in a dog that was a stray and such, but if it needed an expensive surgery he'd "take it out back".

I had to give my dog to my mom to take care of since my new apartment wouldn't let her stay cuz she's too big.  Drove her from Georgia to Connecticut...

Post by: itznfb on Tue, 12 June 2012, 14:43:11

I kind of felt the way Djuzuh did at one point. I had a dog growing up but was really too young to look at her as part of the family. When I moved in with my girlfriend I just found her cat to be a nuisance especially since he hated me at first. Then a couple years ago we got a kitten and since my girlfriend had "her" cat the new kitten basically became mine. She is afraid of everyone but us and one day a guy came to clean the chimney and I thought she got out and ran away. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so devastated and heart broken. I felt like I let her down and there is no way I could ever think of just replacing her. Luckily she was hiding some place we couldn't find her and she came out after a couple hours. It took me having a pet of my own as an adult to really get on the same level as other pet owners.

I hope everything turns out well for Mika. Unplanned expenses are rough. I'll gladly donate what I can if you need more for Mika's surgery.

this a thousand million times.

a pet isn't just a best friend and a family member but an inseparable part of your life that centers you. when i was 8, my mother brought home a golden puppy that was my best friend for the next 13 years. i still think about him every day, and if he were alive today and suffering i would sell every keyboard, gadget, the clothes off my back to get him better.

In July 2005 I met a redhead whose dog just had surgery. I asked for her phone number so that I could ask how the dog is. I married her a year later and we now have two beautiful daughters! So you never know what good might come out of an ostensibly bad experience such as this.

Good luck with your dog, demik.  I grew up with dogs, but we are cat people at the moment.

quick update for anybody that cares.

took her into the vet this morning (around 8:30) so they can take out blood for her tests. poor vet tech came out the backroom sweaty as hell from holding her down. this vet is so awesome. great staff and cheap compared to others. anyway, they told me they'd call me on monday with the results and hopefully i'll be able to schedule her surgery for wednesday.

if anybody needs any proof (bills) i'd be happy to post pics. though i'd like to think im trustworthy enough that it wont be needed. but if so, just let me know.

Posting the bills are irrelevant unless you want to show prospective dog owners what potential costs can be.

As far as providing proof of costs...it's a moot issue. People did what they did or didn't what they didn't based on different criteria. Your life, issues, statements are not in question.

Glad to hear it's going well. My beagle likes to eat bananas, which I find weird. Maybe I shouldn't, I mean I like them and he likes pretty much anything I like.
