In the time between when I set up the PayPal account last night (3:30am) and when I checked the account at 12:15pm today, $190 had already been donated. This covered the auction cost and shipping for the set itself. Now here's where it might get a little tricky.
Brad and James have donated a total of $30 after the money has been spent on the set itself. Now the money to be spent is the cost of shipping to MeBe, the cost of re-listing and shipping the item again, and the cost of MeBe doing the transfer. I don't want to make a big deal that he is taking money for this, because it isn't. It's a job that he's going to have to put a lot of time into, and a compensation of $50 (which I offered over his original figure of $35, due to the volume of material in this set) seems extremely reasonable to me. I was going to pay this $50 out of my own pocket because I was not (and still am not) sure how comfortable people would be spending money that they knew they wouldn't make back.
Now, Mackey256 and James, if you don't want your money being spent on this, please say so and I'll refund your money. Pemdawg and 88keyz, if you don't want your money being spent on this, then I understand, just don't send me any money. I just wanted everyone to be clear on exactly how the money would be spent. If you still want to donate, that's fine with me. I estimate that between all the rest of the costs (transfer, shipping, eBay fees), about another $40-$50 is needed. But, like I said before, I'll pay for this out-of-pocket if anyone doesn't want to spend it, because it's totally understandable.
Pemdawg: If you'd still like to donate, ask Rik where to write the check to, he's taking care of check-to-PayPal thing.
88keys: If you'd still like to donate, the PayPal email to do it to (as is posted in the first post in this thread) is brualhupit at hotmail.com
Thank you to everyone who helped out in any way on this. It seems I've come a long way from buying a copy of the Director's Cut on VHS at a convention for $20.
