The good news is, I have been offered a great hosting package upgrade that will give me three times the space and five times the bandwidth that I have now and costs not much more than what I am currently paying per month. That means I would no longer be stifled and stressed by file sizes and traffic. And no more outages due to the evil exceeded bandwidth.
The bad news is that I have to pay for a year up front and some setup fees so I'm looking at about $180 to do this, which I really can't afford at the moment, at least not if I want to keep a few dollars on hand for emergency trips to California.
So, I've decided to hold a VIRTUAL GARAGE SALE and start selling some stuff on ebay to help pay for this upgrade.
please buy something
I've got a lot of STUFF.
Some of you might want to buy some of it and in turn, help me pay to upgrade the site.
So far I have a few QF cds, some comics and photos, and some special stuff as well.
I have more photos to add, a bunch of Hellblazer comics, and I'm going to root through my stuff and try and get some interesting things up there this week.
Thank you.

I just processed my first buy-it-nows and I've got the fever! I'm going to put some more things up tonight.
I just bought it now... and bid on more stuff. Anything to keep ya goin' girl!
Posted by: T on July 16, 2003 05:03 PMhi krix...
nice idea :-)
What about a paypal donation or something like that. I like paypal because it's so easy to handle :-) And I'll like to donate a lot to keep your site alive, because I love it :-)
As T postet: anything to keep ya goin' :-))
hugs
Krix! I can't believe you're selling your stuff! If I see little Dojo and Lobby Neos there I'm going to cry. It's not fair that you do all the work AND you pay to keep everything up too.
If I buy something, I'll feel guilty taking it. Plus living way over in Eastern Canada, I'll contribute more to shipping and handling than to the site. Can I just make a contribution instead? Where can I send a cheque?
Posted by: Zen on July 17, 2003 03:22 AMI'd like to make a contribution too, but I don't want to do the ebay thing. Do you have a paypal account?
Posted by: kelly on July 17, 2003 03:22 PMThank you, but I really would feel too weird accepting donations at this time. It's not necessary. In fact, if all the current auctions are completed successfully, I think I will have the upgrade money covered. Which totally rocks.
Posted by: krix on July 17, 2003 03:51 PMhey, wait, but you accepted those beers as my little donation, now didn't you, girlie? hmmmm?? ;)
