eBay Auction to Benefit Our New Server – Week 2

We’ve got a few more donated items up for auction at eBay this week.

 

  • RELATIVE SECRECY 5 – A Man from U.N.C.L.E. slash fanzine
  • THE PROFESSIONALS – 2 8×10 B&W photographs
  • FANTASY EMPIRE (May 1984) – SAPPHIRE & STEEL, Monty Python, Doctor Who
  • BRITISH GQ (December 1992) – Hugh Laurie (cover!), Clive Barker, John McVicar

 

(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.

As always, thank you for your time and for your support.

Then there were a few anxious moments when we thought we’d celebrated too soon, but it all came right and we are absolutely thrilled with the final result, that the films will start shooting in New Zealand this summer. (That’s what the northern hemisphere calls winter, by the way).
