Title: Haiti / Save the children.org
Post by: klaus@odyssey on 12 Oct 2016, 07:52 am
I have been a supporter for www.savethechildren.org for over 10 years now...this is the one organization that I absolutely love (other than various animal help org's)....and now, knowing and seeing the misery in Haiti,  I'll do the same as I did before a couple of times which worked out well....here's how I want to help with your assistance..everybody wins and we can get some more serious donation out !!!!


-  I will sell 10  Groneberg Quattro Power cords  for $ 120.  !!!!   (in Europe they are close to $ 300., and I usually get them to my customers closer to my cost at under $ 100.,  but guys, we're talking disaster assistance here)...they are 4-5 ',  and if you need longer ones, I can accomodate...and yes, $ 120. is the starting point,  if you want to send more $, please do so !!!!

-  All (and I mean ALL  )  the funds will go to savethechildren.org....every single penny,  and I'll get the detailed payments out to every one who participates as proof thereoff...

-  I am not affiliated in any form with the organization.....people are aware that there have been shady dealings before, and I just want to do my part as a private person to help and also make sure that everybody understands that this is above board,  and I think that this is a great way....and again,  yes,  I'll provide 100 % proof of all of the funds.....



Guys,  come on....

Klaus

Put me down for two Klaus. My funds may be tight, but they will make a big difference for the people suffering in Haiti. Thanks for coming up with inventive ways to help.

Count me in as well.  Just let me know how you would like the funds.
Title: Re: Haiti / Save the children.org
Post by: klaus@odyssey on 12 Oct 2016, 05:36 pm
OK, Tallies :

Please specify what length, and how much you want to donate...making a public running list here....as for funds, paypal is probably best...:  kbunge1@comcast.net.
Also, figure about $ 10.  for shipping as well.........


So, Phil, GB, SC,  and everybody:

Please post as following (sample)

1 x PC  5 ' $ 140. plus shipping


And I forgot;  the Quattro References come with the pure copper contact Groneberg IEC's and Marinco hospital grade AC outlets !!!!!!!

OK...5 sold,   5 more to go  !!!!!!
Title: Re: Haiti / Save the children.org
Post by: GentleBender on 13 Oct 2016, 09:28 am
How about 4' for my two, but I can only go $120 each plus shipping right now. :| The money will be in your account in a few minutes.
Title: Re: Haiti / Save the children.org
Post by: klaus@odyssey on 13 Oct 2016, 10:37 am
Phil,  Jason,  got the $  ok.....

as for how much $,  totally up to you...I put in $ 120.,  because there has to be some amount over my cost or otherwise I could just go ahead and donate the $ 800 + that this costs me without all of the extra work involved making the power cords....I want to get as much money donated as possible,  obviously,   AND GUYS,  THERE ARE 5 MORE PLEDGED PC's  AVAILABLE  for a very, very good cause...when was the last time you looked at your system and knew you did something kind ????

Besides, the Groneberg Quattro Reference cables are awesome !!!!!

Klaus

I'll take 1 5' @ $150 plus shipping.

When I get home I'll have to mess around with PayPal, I only use it about once every three years so I forgot my log in and need to update the cc, etc.  Missed you and Alex during RMAF this year, I didn't actually even make it this year.
Title: Re: Haiti / Save the children.org
Post by: klaus@odyssey on 13 Oct 2016, 06:36 pm

Title: Re: Haiti / Save the children.org
Post by: S Clark on 13 Oct 2016, 08:09 pm
All funds sent.  I need mine to be 5+ feet.  62 or 63" would be helpful if possible.  If not, 5 feet will do.

Paypal lets you send to an email address (really easy with verified buyers and sellers) - see Klaus' post number 5 for the email address. All you need to do is go to Paypal's site and log on with your email and password.

Klaus, you have done a good thing here, and thank you for the opportunity to be a part of it.  On the day my Moscode HR401 dies, I'll be contacting you about an amp.

Scott
Title: Re: Haiti / Save the children.org
Post by: klaus@odyssey on 20 Oct 2016, 07:30 am
(here goes the amp whisperer)...Hey, Moscode, go and die...die, die, die  I say.............heheheheheheeeee

And yes,  all of us who participated did a good thing, albeit small,  and still not enough,  as just taking out $ out of our pockets for a good cause is good and nice, but also should not make us complacent either...there is just wayyyy  too much need in this world of ours.....sometimes just extending a helping hand works wonders.....volunteering at a soup kitchen and seeing grateful faces,  knowing that you saved a 4 legged friend,  etc.....  it all sounds so convoluted,  but man, these are moments that are important, necessary,  and that make you go back in your mind again and again for some healthy self-worthiness......
