Well, whatever is raised say 125,000 e$ will be auctioned off for real $$. Maybe it'll go for a dollar, maybe 50 or who knows. Anyway winner of the auctions pays me the real $$, I pay them the e$ raised and 100% will be donated to the cause that sold the most ribbons. (I hope they give me a reciept ) |

Better check that, its back and forth. Amazing what happens when people have a couple hundred thousand e$ each...
I wonder if anyone else is feeling generous on their own accord, or do we need to start shaking people down? |

Speaking from experience here, two penthouses are infinitely better than one.
Proud new owner.  |

| You mentioned a receipt... I assume that the winning bidder (the one that actually donates the $ for the winning charity) gets the actual receipt for tax purposes? |

| Yes that was a question I had about the ribbons. Will there be a receipt? |

| I think we'd want a receipt from the real 501(C)(3) (i.e. tax deductible) Charity. Once the donation is made I can pass it along to you. |
