eBay would be one good choice, but they'll take a
percentage of our
donation and then paypal will take their fee (and so on).
Another option is to create a world-commentable wiki page
describing the
auction and let people leave a comment and their name and
bid on the
page, which would be the virtual equivalent of the holiday
party "Silent
Auction" events.

We have only done auctions in person at the Holiday
Party, so we'd
have to chart new territory with this.  I'm
cc'ing Matt in case he has
ideas about how we could do this through the website.

As to the spare seat...
    please talk to me about how we've done
auctions before (if we have
    before) where not everyone is present in person at
a single place.
     Are you thinking ebay?
More background on the poster, please:
    1 - who is leading the effort?  I'm not sure I
understand
    Josette's role, vs Patty's role.
    2 - It's a laminated sorta poster?  Not a
watercolor or oil?
    3 - "suitable for collection" meaning..?
Thanks for keeping me in the loop! - Pam
