[57north-discuss] [57north-announce] Open Tuesday (30/09) - fundraising special!

[Calum Chisholm]

I think the rule that items must be taken home again if they don't sell
should already serve to limit the size/quantity of the donations, but sure
- if you want to define a limit, then backpack-size sounds sensible for a
Tuesday.

As for the sales vs. auctions (and everything in-between), it was my
intention to keep the format pretty simple first time around. Once we have
a better idea of the level of interest we can certainly look at tweaking it
for next time. We're all adults though, and if anyone wants to add their
own restrictions (minimum reserve price, donating a proportion of the sale
price etc.), then they're certainly free to do so.

Cheers,
Calum
