[WTS] F2 Blue MX Skull 100% Proceeds go to SMALLFRY Foundation

[Thechemist]

THIS IS NOT AN AUCTION

I wanted to do this last year but things came up and then we could no longer auction things off so it was set aside. I came across it again while trying to locate my arduino and thought it was about time to get this going again.

This was my first and only purchase of an artisan keycap so I really wanted to keep it. Then came the tragic news about Smallfry's passing and I wanted to help in any way possible.

I haven't met Smallfry in person but from talking to him on IRC and the forum you could tell he was a very ambitious person and just like me he had a million ideas going through his head that he wanted to share with you. He was never afraid to ask questions or give a helping hand, I guess I saw a little of myself in him.

I hope whoever buys this keycap will know how much this keycap means to me.

I would like to get $300 for the keycap but If you want donate more on top of that please contact Mkawa. If the person who buys the keycap donates more money I will offer FREE soldering / assembly good for one keyboard ( check out my soldering services thread in my sig to see what I can do ).

Looking into doing a raffle, will update once I get a reply about it.

I will cover shipping anywhere in the world and 100% of the proceeds will go to Smallfry's Foundation.

like the idea, but I think it would be better to make some sort of a raffle instead, since  I don't think anyone would want to "purchase" an f2 for 300$

Do you know if the Foundation been established yet? AFAIK, it hasn't been setup by Smallfry's family yet and mkawa was holding on to the money until it was setup.

[Thechemist]

I am not sure if a raffle is even allowed, but I am open to any suggestions that do not break the TOS.

That is the last information I have also but I have spoken to Largefry about this last year and he was letting me know the Foundation would be setup soon. All the proceeds will go to Mkawa for now if the Foundation hasn't been setup yet but I did not want to bother Largefry about this until I have the money ready to be sent to him.

I think a raffle is better for raising more cash and getting more group participation. If it's just three bucks for a good cause I'll support, even though I normally don't like clacks at all. Whereas even if it is being offered for only $30, I'll never buy it.

I think $2-3 is a good entry point for a raffle, with max of 200 tickets sold. If you don't manage to sell all your tickets I'll buy one.

I am still not sure if a raffle is against TOS but that sounds like a good idea. If I did a raffle it would most likely be $5 a ticket with a cap of 100 tickets so that I am sure we can get all the tickets sold, how do you think that sounds?

I'm totally in for Smallfry!

[ApocalypseMaow]

I'm down!!!

[mkawa]

hey folks, thechemist asked me about this yesterday (today? oh dear..) but i'm afraid i haven't chimed in until now. i fully support this in whatever form the mods would prefer. this is on their radar, and they will chime in once they've decided how they'd like this to go. thanks everyone!!

[Synjin]

Would gladly buy tickets as well.

[byker]

Would be in also. I also think that you could let each person buy up to 5 tickets or something maybe? Would be a good way to allow people who want only one ticket to enter, but allow others to spend more if they want to as well! Not sure if there even needs to be a hardcap on the amount of tickets, surely the more money that is raised, the better.
