Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler The beginning of something special ?

Just to make sure since I'm not online at 6 PM EST (only pacific).

We can paypal to chasefin@adelphia.net starting at 6 PM eastern standard time, buying a max of 2 sets of tix?

Allright! Setting my alarm now.

Out of curiosity. . . how is the winner going to be chosen? Name out of a hat, random computer generated? Names printed on a sheet and then a dart thrown at the board by a blindfolded person?

you guys better leave a ticket for me (I'll be out playing baseball tonight when the tix go on sale). I'm looking forward to firing that thing up! This is a great idea Craig, my compliments to you and other Craig for your philanthropic ventures.

I was thinking of doing something similar by donating a bunch of old Stuff & Maxim magazines...I don't think I'll be donating them to the Children's hospital!

For those who are using Paypal, if YOU want to cover Paypal's 3% cut, send $25.78. 3% of $25.78 is $ .7734. Assuming they round up, that means they'll take $. 78, leaving exactly $25 for the charity.

If you send, $25.77, a 3% cut would be $ .7731. Again, assuming they round up, Paypal will take the same $ .78, leaving only $24.99 for charity. And if you send only the required $25, the charity will only receive $24.25.

We don't want to short the 2nd Harvest Food Bank, do we now? (OK! So I'm anal about things like this. )

P.S. We've properly lauded the two Craigs for their efforts, but I think we would be remiss if we left out Ian, Amie, and the gang. So here's to Axiom for their kindness and generosity. It's an honor to be a part of this community.

Actually, it is 6 PM Eastern Daylight time - I know you meant 6 o'clock tonight Eastern time, and calling it "Daylight" vs. "Standard" is pretty ANAL, SOMEONE would call me on it ...

Yes, After 6 PM, July 11, Eastern Time Zone, Tickets go for sale.

So is the paypal account chasefin@adelphia.net?

EDIT: never mind, looked back and saw that this is, indeed, the account.

Argh, I'm gonna be at work until 10pm! I hope there will still be tickets left.

Craig,
Awesome idea and wow, what a carrot to get everyone to contribute. There are so many around us day & night that are in need so this is a great way to help a few. Kudos to all of you!! And what does this say about Arnie & Ian and all the great people at Axiom?? What a testimony!!! Blessings & favor to all.

Just noticed something while looking at the paypal site. When sending money to someone, you have to categorize the transaction. Here are the options:

eBay Items: A payment for the purchase of eBay items. Free!

Auction Goods (non-eBay): An online auction purchase (not including eBay items). Free!

Goods (other): A purchase of goods in a non-auction context. Free!

Service: A payment for the performance of a service. Free!

Quasi-Cash: The transmission of money not involving an underlying service or good. The bank that issued your credit card may treat this 'Quasi-Cash' transaction as a cash advance and charge you cash advance fees. PayPal has no control over these fees. If you select 'Quasi-Cash' you may want to use a payment method other than Credit Card (Instant Transfer or eCheck) to avoid potential fees.


Which one best applies? I'm thinking Goods (other), but wanted to get other opinions.

Agree with "Goods".
