The CON.TXT Raffle is Back!

[trixie]

Beth H bethbethbeth will be overseeing the CON.TXT Raffle again this year, the proceeds of which are going to benefit Planned Parenthood.

Raffle tickets will be $2 for 1, $10 for 6 (#HamForSix), or $20 for 13. They will be on sale at at the CON.TXT Registration Desk and from the mobile raffle site (i.e., Beth's backpack) from Thursday night (July 28th) until approximately 7:30 pm on Saturday (July 30th).

If you would like to donate prizes: All new, nearly new, or collectible items of a fannish or artsy nature will be gratefully received: DVDs/Blu-rays (all fandoms), books, toys, memorabilia, art, Hamilton tickets, etc. (No zines, please, though they're welcome at the Orphan Table or in the Fan Fair.) If you're not coming to the con yourself, you can send items along with a friend, or ship them to the con. Leave a comment to this Dreamwidth post or email Beth at bethbethbeth [at] gmail [dot] com if you have something to contribute.

I have an almost-new 2X size Black Widow jacket (http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/1cdf/); is that something you'd be interested in?

[bethbethbeth]

That would be fantastic! Are you or a friend going to the con? If not, email me (see address above) and I can give you shipping info.

[greenygal]

Excellent! I am definitely coming to the con, and can pass it on there.

[bethbethbeth]

Great...thanks so much

I have Ms. Marvel trade paperback volume 2 if that could be used.

[bethbethbeth]

Absolutely! Anything you (or friends) bring along can be given directly to me or left at the registration desk!

Interested in some older Dr. Who stuff? I have a Tennant sonic screwdriver still in it's box (box is kind of dented), a framed Dr Who card signed by Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred (it was a PBS fund raising premium from many years ago) and a black Dr. Who tote bag. I've also got a year 2000 16 month calendar in good condition (unused) which has lots of pictures on the pages instead of mostly calendar date boxes.

I'll be attending the con so can drop them off if you want them.

[bethbethbeth]

Those all sound great (we'll...call the calendar a "collectible") Thank you!

[katbear]

Okay. I'll be arriving Friday morning of the con and will bring the stuff with me then.

I found a Dr Who mug with the logo on the front and the Tardis on the back that shows up when you pour in hot liquids, so I'll include that as well (it was for display, not used, so I'll dust if off before I bring it).

[katbear]

I have found four mint in box Lord of the Rings collector's edition 12 inch figures, Aragorn, Gandalf, Gimli and Legolas (boxes may have a bit of wear on corners). If you want those for the raffle, I can bring them in with the Dr Who stuff.

Would an assortment of opened-but-good-condition soundtrack CDs be appropriate? (If not they will be on the swap table anyway...)

[(Anonymous)]

I think that sounds cool! Bring them along and I'll be happy to include them!

[grey_bard]

I have a gift pack of Star Wars stuff including:
4 sheets of Japan exclusive stickers
Several Japan exclusive micro mini posters that came with them
1 new Darth Vader action figure (not in box)
A collection of toy soldier scale Imperial forces and ships
1 mini Force Awakens First Order coloring book
2 hilarious Star Wars mini Christmas stockings
1 lightly used copy of Before The Awakening

Is this something you'd like?

[bethbethbeth]

That sounds great...thanks!

I'm sure we'll find each other quickly enough, but if you want to make sure everything's passed over to me quickly, email me (bethbethbeth [at] gmail) and we can rendezvous at the hotel *g*

I've added a full set of the new Princess Leia comics and Young Han Solo novels to my Star Wars lot plus some other goodies.

Also, I have a full set of Star Trek New Frontier novels, a full set of Julia Quinn novels, and a small pile of critically acclaimed graphic novels and will donate these too if you accept them.

[bethbethbeth]

I'd be more than happy to add them to the prizes (although.if something doesn't work with one of the categories, is it okay if I add one or two of the items to the swap table?)

[grey_bard]

Actually, would you return them to me instead? Many of the things I would prefer not to put on the swap table. (That's a whole other massive bag of stuff I'm unloading!)
