Enchanted Tiki Room 45th Anniversary Fountain

(taken from the thread)
Okay so I'm having a hard time deciding what to do. I was there at 5:30 the morning of the event, second person to be there, the first was an older retired guy from Yuma, AZ. I was a couple people behind when they first announced they were out of fountains. When my group was let in to the store they had just found a few more in the back and I quickly scooped up the two fountains that I had come for.
I have one proudly on display on the coffee table downstairs. The other is currently sitting on a shelf in my closet. I have a few options that I've thought about, but nothing set in stone of course. What do you guys suggest I do with the other?

[QUOTE]I say sell it on eBay. Get what you can for it and just put the money aside for the next Disneyland event.[/QUOTE]
I could, they're going for $350 easily. My father is even asking about it, "So when are you going to put the fountain on ebay?" The only problem is how many people would be pissed just on this board alone that instead of giving them the chance to buy it, I instead took the money of someone who couldn't be there or couldn't be there early enough.[U][/U]

Sell the fountain and give the proceeds to charity. There are many needy people in this world. Make both the buyer and someone else happy. You will feel the good feeling of a deed well done.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]Hmmm, maybe what you could do is you could sell it here on Micechat to the highest bidder. You then keep the amount you paid for it and all the profits could be donated to Micechat to help keep it running. Just an idea.[/QUOTE]
One of the ideas I was tossing around actually, well slightly. I was thinking of doing a raffle and whoever won would have their chance at buying it at the original price instead of the inflated ebay price. I wouldn't be giving it away like a normal raffle, but they would have a fair raffle chance at getting it.
Another idea was to donate it as an event prize. My father totally does not condone giving it to the site for free though, "You should put it on ebay and see what you get."

You could do as Circarama did when he wanted to sell off a few collectibles. Name a price for it that you think is fair market value and then give a portion of your profits to Micechat. http://micechat.com/forums/showthrea...and-84103.htmlPosted 07-21-2008 at 11:15 AM by pratt55 -

I cracked and decided to sell it. The auction ends on Friday at almost 9. I have 54 people watching it at the moment and the bids are up to $305 as of right now. The person bidding on mine also bid on another one and was willing to go up to $550 on it. There were two people, including the current bidder and not the one who won, who were willing to go up to $500 for it so Iam hoping to at least get that much for it.Posted 07-30-2008 at 12:42 AM by Light Mouse
