Bodacious Space Pirates, ef: a tale of melodies, ef: a tale of memories, Hanabee, sf cons, Toradora
I was always going to auction a batch of review copies at SwanCon for cancer research. Cancer has hit the Australian SF community far too hard in recent years, and the kind provision of the review copies by Hanabee is too good an opportunity to pass up.
The only question was which type of cancer research to support this time around.
Then I saw this on twitter:
To help support @hespas_hats, & Ovarian Cancer Research, I will auction off shaving my head at @swancon.I’ve had long hair for 25 yrs!

To which I replied:
@weareaustralia @hespas_hats @swancon Cool. Now I know which Cancer research is getting the proceeds from the review copies I’m auctioning.

So, now that I know where the money is going, I suppose I should list what will be on the block:
- Bodacious Space Pirates Part 1 – DVD
- Bodacious Space Pirates Part 1 – Blu-Ray
- Bodacious Space Pirates Part 2 – Blu-Ray[1]
- ef: a tale of memories – DVD
- ef: a tale of memories – Blu-Ray
- ef: a tale of melodies – DVD
- ef: a tale of melodies – Blu-Ray
- GYO: Tokyo Fish Attack – DVD[2]
- Toradora! (including box) – DVD
Some are still shrinkwrapped, all others have been watched once.
I’ll be setting reserves of about 1/3 retail, which I think is reasonable for a charity auction.
With the exception of the one that I haven’t watched, these have all been good enough for me to buy my own copies.
[1] I’m awaiting a guest review of the Part 2 DVD so that won’t be making it in time.
[2] I haven’t seen this yet. I’m retaining the Blu-Ray for the moment in the Leaning Tower of Pisa Review Copies.

UPDATE: All but the Toradora set reached reserve and raised nearly $200 for ovarian cancer research. I’m quite pleased by this.
Of course this is a drop in ocean compared to the $900 that Danny’s hair raised. I may post some photos about that later.
