Subject: RE: To the Highest Bidder
Some folks may have 15 guitars and want to sell one for a little extra spending money or even to make rent that month. They will not want to donate that guitar to the mudcat, but may like to use the mudcat to sell it quickly and at a good price to someone that they know will take good care of it and appreciate it. In this case, we could just take a cut of 10 or 15% for the service and fund raising. That was my plan all along. If folks want to donate the entire proceeds they may do so. Perhaps when one puts up a product they can announce the percentage that they want to go to the cat.

The technology is simply to keep it seperate from the forum. I just thought some folks would mind if it cluttered the forum which is apperently to some is only supposed to be about music. If it becomes a popular concept, which it very well may, it might get messy in the forum.

For now, by all means continue. This will allow us to see if it works fine here.
