eBay Auction to Benefit Our New Server Fund

For those of you who frequent our Gallery, you’ll have noticed several recent additions courtesy tgabrielle – and we’ve only just started to process all of the wonderful stuff she’s donated to Raspberry World. She has generously consented that if we ran across any duplicates we could auction them off with the proceeds to go towards the new server fund.

As of today, we have the following items up for auction on eBay.

  • MODERN SCREEN (Dec. 1967) David McCallum CARY GRANT
  • TV GUIDE (Nov. 1966) THE MAN FROM UNCLE David McCallum
  • TV GUIDE (March 1966) THE MAN FROM UNCLE David McCallum
  • UNCLE FILES – Deadly Games ROBERT VAUGHN DAVID McCALLUM
  • UNCLE FILES – Third Year ROBERT VAUGHN DAVID McCALLUM
  • UNCLE FILES – Take me To Your Leader VAUGHN McCALLUM
  • UNCLE FILES – Pieces of Fate ROBERT VAUGHN McCALLUM
  • UNCLE FILES – Deadly Quest ROBERT VAUGHN DAVID McCALLUM
  • RELATIVE SECRECY #3 (slash fanzine)
  • RELATIVE SECRECY #4 (slash fanzine)
  • RELATIVE SECRECY #5 (slash fanzine)
  • RELATIVE SECRECY #6 (slash fanzine)

They can be found here.  (If the link doesn’t work, they are listed under the Seller ID georgiesmith112.)

What does a new server mean? Well, it means that the pages will load more quickly and the videos will play without buffering. (Or at least without as much buffering as they do now.) It means we can continue to expand our archives without worrying about space. (And you have no idea just how much we haven’t uploaded to our video and gallery sections yet – and won’t be able to until we get a server that can handle it all.) We’re always accepting donations through PayPal – the costs for keeping the site running are being covered mostly by dprisoner, who also handles all of the behind-the-scenes work to keep the site going. Goodness knows, I realize the hard times we’re all going through and it’s hard to find enough money just to keep your head mostly above water from month to month, or even day to day. If you can afford it, think about how many times you visit Raspberry World in a 30-day period of time and donate a dollar for each visit.

Thank you for your time and for your support.
