We have a nice stockpile of Stranges and Gift Wraps now. I've already contacted a lot of the ESEA Invite dudes and have things signed. We're not 100% sure how we're going to handle the signed weapons as far as donations go, but tentatively we're considering requiring a minimum donation of $5 and specifying what signed weapon you want in your donation. So under a system like that, what kinds of items would you personally be willing to donate $5 towards?
List any player/item combos you would like or + frag existing ones once they are posted. I have been getting more and more contacts in the EU/HL communities so nominate those as well!
Check the signed section of our backpack for what we've got already:

Also if you have any feedback about how best to handle the signed weapons feel free to post it.
Thanks

I'd pay $10 - $15 for a Grenade Launcher signed by b4nny.
Also would pay $5 for a RL signed by Platinum.
Also, if you're selling the unusuals for cash, I'd be super interested in that Peace Chieftain's.

I think it'd be cooler to raffle off the prizes. Pay a small amount toward the charity, and get your name in the drawing. Pay a larger amount for the bigger ticket items.

You could also do both:
Have raffles and "auctions" for big ticket items.
Have instant buys ($5 per signed wep) for smaller items.
Also, is there a way to get items that you already own signed? I have a genuine named original that I would love to have Platinum sign.

I really like your idea and I feel like your question could be answered with your idea you made! (pay 5 bucks to charity to get it signed)

I don't think you should be able to do instant buys. That turns it into more of a transaction system, making a charity a means to get people to sign things for you. Raffles/auctions function better in a charity situation.

Ah, I just wasnt sure if you could only get signed items that are already in the backpack or if you could get your own items signed.
Edit: If other people have stranges with a bunch of kills that they want signed, I believe having the strange wrapped while you trade it preserves the kills (not 100% check the wiki).
Also seanbud you might be able to get one of those 50 million kill weapons that people boost lol.

An enigma-signed Minigun. I've dreamed of tagging it with the details of the S12 LAN play. That, and of course a signed scattergun from him, as well (was going to suggest flamethrower, too, but that's already there).
Spy stuff signed by truktruk (which was missing!).
RL by Tagg.
As a joke, a shotgun signed by harbleu, with details of the infamous i46 jump. :)
EDIT: definitely have more in my head somewhere, I suppose it'll be edited in
- Sniper rifle by TviQ
- 'Nade launcher and/or sticky launcher by Brego, randa (former Epsilon demo), numlocked
- Scattergun by Schocky, smzi, TviQ, basH, wltrs
- Ubersaw by Admirable
- RLs from Epsilon GeaR, KnOxXx (from his soldier days), Mike and Mitsy
EDIT: Had some tea. Round 2.
- Knife signed by DLMan
- former -ts- (Ruwin, Polk, hein, stabby, Dave+, Jake, TMP, vhalin, soup) on their respective class weapons
- RL by bl4nk
- harbleu for medic items
- stultus needles + description of S12 LAN Viaduct needle play
- Direct Hit and RL by blaze
- Original by Seagull

Also if you can pay to get your own item signed it adds more logistical work - the player would have to add the right person. And it'd be a pain to manually verify that the person asking for their weapon to be signed is the person who paid (I'm sure people would add in mass to try to get their stuff signed). It could develop into a nightmare.

I know PayPal is the optimal method of money transfer, but if you can do something that would accept visa or Amex cards, that would be nice as well.

seanbud, do you plan on directly using a payment system, i.e. directly using PayPal or are you going to use a third party in some form (i.e. BMT Micro, ChipIn, etc.)? If it's going to be primarily through the stream, maybe you and Twitch John can work something out...handling payments yourself is a pretty big PITA and I'm sure someone reputable in this community could do it for you.

I'd definitely appreciate the instant buy as an option. Quite a few names I wouldn't mind purchasing for a good cause.
Also more TLR signed rocket launchers in this world needs to happen.

It's possible to set up a Paypal donation account that lets people use credit cards. It's pretty cool.

I don't even think raffling off signed stuff would work because there are About 25+ people/weapons that are signed and I don't see how we could raffle those weapons off while raffling off the hourly unusual, crafts hats, and packs of unsigned stranges. We would have to announce the strange weapon, then the player it's signed by for each and every weapon.
If someone knows how we could make raffling work for signed stranges (and make it easy for viewers to enter the ones they want) I'm all for it. It would definitely generate more money, but like I said I don't even think it's possible. And again, this would only be for signed stranges everything else would be raffled off normally.
As for the logistics, we have 3 people (probably gonna end up with around 5) working with the raffles to make sure everything runs as smooth as possible. The transaction process for "buying" signed stranges would be planned out way ahead of time if we do choose to go that route.

Raffling off the signed weapons would be a little strange (... hah?) because it would be very unlikely for someone who wants a certain weapon by a certain person to get it, I think.
Edit: Wait, if they won they could just choose which item. Nevermind!
