Whoa. If I had fifty bucks free, I'd so go for that. What a seriously cool idea.

[thomasyan]

Yay, at least there's interest rather than just resounding silence/indifference; maybe someone will bid for you :)

(I was thinking of starting bids off lower, but I realized that I'd need enough motivation to follow through.)

[sartorias]

Nobody would pay two cents for me--I meant, if I weren't stone broke, I'd bid on you.

[thomasyan]

Heh, sorry I was unclear, I understood your original reply. I meant they'd bid for me to DbS on your behalf: if they won, they'd turn the choice of book over to you.

And why don't you think anyone would bid on you if you offered to do such a review? Given the thoughtfulness of your posts on LJ and RASFW, I think you'd do a great job.

Do they accept VISA? I don't have a Paypal account yet, and their site asked for my name and address before mentioning payment options.

[thomasyan]

Their website provides a phone number, 310-264-4224. I called and they said they do take credit cards; the page also says you can mail checks.

(They asked who I was and where I was coming from, so I gave them my name and said I was both bidding and possibly being bid upon rachelmanija's fan auction.)

You can also mail a check to the address given at the website.
