The ad implies that Joni signed it for the purpose of raising funds for a charity or political movement. I don't think it's a charity though because a.) they don't offer their non-profit # and b.) what kind of charity runs auctions on ebay?
I smell a rat. If someone would cough up the $5,000.00 "buy-it-now" price, it would be a _purchase_ not a tax-deductible donation to a charity, right guys? Kakki? I think it's a political group with some unorthodox fund-raising techniques. He has 122 items up on ebay right now and only a total of 12 transactions behind him. 'roland' says the poster "has been sitting around her Los Angeles home ever since then and does show some normal wear (although no tears)." Am I to believe that a.) Joni has proofs at her house and b.) she stores them recklessly? The woman who frames her paintings before she photographs them doesn't store her _proofs_ correctly?! My poster from "voices" doesn't have any flaws at all. What's "normal wear" for a sheet of paper stored in a cool, dry, dark environment? What say ye, librarians? Best of all, this political group has a freakin' reserve "price" on the donation they're willing to accept in exchange for a token of the donation! The present bid, $405, has not satisfied the reserve price. Ahh! So, they're prepared to turn down a $405 donation to their movement! Interesting..... Sign me "Cynical in Cincinnati", Lama Yahoo!
