Can't say for sure, but they usually do both.

I think the question was more about the sort of stuff on the auction/raffle.

Typically this will vary according to what's been donated at the time, but there's usually a selection of books - as it's a launch I expect there'll be at least one proof copy of Toyminator up for grabs and possibly some other related goodies too.
Can anybody help me out and remind me what was on the last few auctions? I forget off the top of my head. I recall the Count Otto Black �666 note though.

amongst some of the delights regularly on offer.

Damnit, what with Ian and Andi crying poverty, I'd only have to of bumped off Hugh and Phil and I might have been in with a chance of winning an auction item Razz

Most of the stuff went for reasonable prices (still out of my current budget though) The Eddie Bear was the only big one, going for around �60

Were it not for that the high bidder was already a forum member I'd have been going for Ian's chocolate purchase.

Was it the Dean that outbid me that bear? I think it was 55 or 58 of your English Pounds.

It was indeed. I think he outbid several of our number.

�55 I think, though I could be wrong.

Scouse there would have been no reason to bump me off as i was skint to. You'll be happy to hear that i did win on the raffle and it was with a ticket that was bought just after Ian so i managed to get one over on old money bags Very Happy

A lovely book club edition of the Brightonomicon now sits on my shelf. Ian on the other hand had to pay big bucks for his chocolate teddy which has a small hole nibbled in the back of its head but he'll never notice unless he takes it out of the box Laughing

Because most folk think it a silly amount for wee ink stained bear?
