"For some reason our kindergartener decided he wanted to sell his artwork to pay for a new skateboard. We are not sure how he came to the conclusion selling his artwork on the internet would be lucrative but there you have it. To give it a proper art auction feel lets say:
"Up for sale is a interesting piece entitled "First Robot on Earth" by Shay. It is signed boldly in crayon at the top by the artist. The title is handwritten in pencil at the bottom. The piece measures 8.5 inches by 11 inches. The artist used both pencil and crayon. This piece would look lovely framed or attached with a magnet to a refrigerator. The artwork will ship promptly and is sure to appreciate in value. This is a remarkable investment opportunity. We will start this sale at the exceptionally low price of just 99 cents."
Thanks for looking and please email the artist any questions or comments you might have."
Current price is 2 dollars, no shipping.

CLICK THE PIC AND BID.
It can't hurt. :D

reyyy, author of SHARKNIFE, on the likelihood of something happening:
"Pigs will grow arms and people will shit lava."
Right, back to sitting on the couch trying not to think about throwing up.

Dec. 1st, 2007 02:24 pmI have a bad habit of buying toys on eBay for $1 with free shipping, even if I don't know who they are. You know, garage sale price.
Anybody know who this is?

Nov. 28th, 2007 08:12 pmSo, remember the Joshua F. eBay Dinosaur Saga? You can still see the drawings if you select the seller and choose "Completed Auctions."
Well, I wasn't going to tell Joshua or his mother why the sales were shooting upwards. I kinda wanted it to be a mystery, but somebody did something awesome.
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
nykkisent her an e-mail that week and let her know.
And I read the e-mail that the mother sent back and I cried, and I thought about how sweet and wonderful that was ofnykki--my fake-adoptive sister--and I started crying even more.
---------
"Awesome!!! Send me his address and we will do that, I will have Josh draw him a special picture and send with a thank you card! Send his info to my email: XXX. I love it Thanks so much!!! I know Josh is going to totally flip when he gets home from school and I show him all of this! Thanks again! Also thanks to you and would you please send a message to the people on the live journal a great big thanks? I would be grateful, we are going to have a very small Christmas this year because of financial difficulties and I believe that this idea of Josh's stemmed from that, it shows that he is growing up and thinking of others, and not only himself this Christmas!
Great thanks and God Bless!
Bonnie-Josh's Mom"

This weekend I received a package. Joshua sent me a thank you card and a very special drawing of my own.
So please thank Nykki, and thank all of you again for doing such wonderful things for this 9 year-old boy.
Yep, that's a yellow dinosaur protecting its nest of eggs and salivating while looking at a delicious flamingo.
You may now die of jealousy.
Love to you all,

TWO THINGS
Nov. 15th, 2007 05:05 pmYou know, I've been referring to previous posts in nearly every entry I've done this week. Weak week recursion. Anyway...
So do you remember that one post where I showed a piece of Fan Art I'd gotten?
Well, I received a second one but decided I'd hold off on showing it, in hopes that the person would tip their hand.
And she did. I got the truth about who did my two "Benchilada is my hero" drawings.
pilliwiggan
What an utter fucking nutter. Which is, of course, why she's so damned awesome.
Oh, and also,sickyprincess showed me a new drawing from Joshua on eBay, with a special message intended to make me cry. Click on that link and then keep scrolling down.
An additional message from Bonnie from another, unnamed source.

Nov. 14th, 2007 06:52 pmThere's one Extra Dinosaur Drawing that went up after I made the announcement about Joshua and his drawings on eBay, but for those first one's that I told you about?
Y'all stepped up on this little thing, and guess what?
THE FIRST FOUR DRAWINGS EARNED HIM A TOTAL OF $46.50.
You're good people, all of you.

Nov. 13th, 2007 08:09 amSo I'm doing my usual link-surfing--this time through eBay--and I came across a strangely listed item that is utterly fantastic.
Check this bad boy out:
It turns out that a little kid named Joshua is raising money so he can buy presents--with his own money--for his brothers and sister. From what I can tell, it's not a scam or anything like that. Indeed, it'd be a pretty silly scam if it were one. Double indeed, the seller has 209 sales and 100% positive feedback.
ANYWAY...all four of the drawings start at $1.00 and shipping is completely free. It seems that only one person has bid on them so far, and it's all been the same bidder, so I suspect it may be a family member or somesuch. The auctions have been going for a while and only have one day left.
So here's what I propose: go to the link below and if you've got a couple of bucks to spare, bid on a kid's dinosaur drawings. Again, the shipping is free and I imagine 9 year-old Joshua will freak out a little if he makes more than four dollars. :D
CLICK HERE TO SEE THE AWESOME ART. AND GET ONE, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!
I'm off to re-bid on the Spinosaurus.
Smooches,
benjamin

Jul. 25th, 2007 11:08 amWould you really want to buy these from eBay?
And I was searching for "Monkey King" when this came up. I'm afraid to ask.
