Esk8.news community charity auction #1 FEB 20 (SERIOUS)

Yes you are correct. I got my wires crossed. My apologies.

However, Mike in his own words has said

And so far Ben is the prime candidate to complete this board, already with support from people who have donated.

I just don’t feel like this needs to be dragged out any longer. Make hay while the sun shines

I changed my mind. I feel it’s better if the people that donated the parts weigh in before we shift everything around.

I feel like I explained this pretty well.

Wonder how this would have gone down if the only person to have offered to complete this build was one of your buddies :thinking:

I honestly don’t think they would care, I think they would be more concerned with just getting this thing built, auctioned and the money with the charities. You have a suitable builder willing to take the project on to expedite that process, hanging around only further delays getting the money to organisations that need it.

You call it backpedaling, I calling being mindful of other peoples property. Considering you have zero authority here & didn’t donate anything to this project I can’t think of any reason why you think you deserve an opinion.

I don’t think they would mind either, but as I said, not all of the pieces are my property and I will not just send someone else property to someone without their consent based on a poll.

I’ll just send it all to Damon and he can worry about it.

You asked everyone that donated if that’s ok right? Because they all sent it to you. Not Damon. Which is why you’re hesitant to send it to Ben right?

As stated above…

Or did I miss something here?

Whoa guys, now is not the time to pick nits. Ignore the logical inconsistencies and jump on this opportunity to get the parts moved to somewhere where they are accessible/will stop collecting dust.

Damon can forward the parts to MrMobster and we’ll eat some extra shipping cost to smooth over this shit show.

Yep. Definitely agree. Get it built. I’m sure with the way shipping is during covid times this’ll get done sooooouch much faster and with way less resources and money wasted by shipping it twice. Well, 3 times after the fact. :wink:

I probably have some parts to throw at it around here.

@BenjaminF has my vote @Brenternet can you make the poll public so @mmaner can see intent by people who donated previously?

I believe that’s exactly what my poll does and it’s public (Esk8.news community charity auction #1 FEB 20 (SERIOUS) - #163 by janpom).

Mike, this is valid and sensible. I believe that at this point everybody who donated something has expressed their consent with shipping the parts to Ben. I understand there’s a lot of tension between you and DRI folks but please don’t make things more complicated because of that.

I accepted the parts as a defacto officer of esk8.news. I am no longer in that position, so I will not make the call. Y’all can PM me with your opinions and harassment all you want, it doesn’t mean anything. Your thuggery and bullying is wasted on me, I don’t care. I’ll ship the items to Damon Monday.

Yo, everyone, its cool. We dont want to ask mike to do anything that might make him uncomfortable.

I’m willing to build this, but I certainly don’t need to build this. It was just an offer, you know, for charity.

I’m not sure what Damon has to do with this unless I missed his offer to build in this thread. Is he building the board now? Or am I confused? Am I sending my donation to Damon?

Huh???

Damon has nothing to do with the organization of this and I would suspect like to stay the hell out of it, personally I feel we should oblige him with that. Mike wants to go involve him unasked for & needlessly by using him as a relay…ok so fucking be it.

Don’t think the forum counts as a charity & I know some will get their knickers in a twist. @Brenternet started this so he can pick the charity when the time comes or run a poll.

Right now parts to @BenjaminF is the thing

Ugh keep the drama out please, it has nothing at all to do with making a charity build. Lets remember what this was for, FUN, CHARITY, DONATIONS. Reply to this thread in the spirit it was intended, not for tiny personal drama gains. Grow up.

@mmaner myself and @BigBen donated parts and we’re both OK with it going to @BenjaminF

As the organiser of this originally I am also OK with Ben taking the parts to complete the build.

I dont know how to explain this any better.

@mmaner I don’t want to pay shipping to @BenjaminF after you pay shipping to me. Please Just send them to him.

Just let us know the cost and we’ll refund it.

It wouldn’t be fair to expect Mike to pay for the shipping, appreciate the flexibility in packaging and going to the post office & completely understand that you don’t have time to complete this either.

Hit me up with your PayPal @mmaner when you know what it is. If that’s confidential then pick someone tangentially involved, thanks.
