I have a signed Season 1 Episode 1 Script I want to auction somewhere...

DeVore

Ok, I've been sitting on this for some time but for this xmas's SSF i have an original, signed-in-person (JJ Abrams and Damon Lindelof), cast script from Lost Season 1, Episode 1.

It has all the actors/directors directions down to the translations of what Jin says in Korean.


Now, I wont auction it here, because I just dont think we'd get enough for it from the number of people on this site.

I was thinking Ebay of course but then I need to find places to let Lost fans know.

Also I was thinking about maybe raffling it so that everyone could have a shot at winning it as that might raise more cash!


100% of the money raised will go to SSF and 100% of the money SSF gets goes to the kids charities (usually in the form of stuff they need to improve the life quality of the kids in their care).


So, suggestions? Where should I start with this thing?!

I rekon E-Bay is going to be the best option for the biggest audience & making the most money.
You could chase up the big podcasters like Jay & Jack, The Transmission etc to try publicise it.

DeVore

Thanks, its suggestions like that for publicising it that I need (I just watch the show, I dont really follow the fan side of things).

You could try Lostpedia too:
http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

Perhaps Lostpedia might put something up on their site or you could put something on their message boards.

Another popular Lost website is http://www.docarzt.com/

And the Fuselage is one of the most popular Lost message boards:

Theres a LOST TV series original S.1 ep6 SIGNED script by 8 on ebay at the moment, it's at €24 at the moment but I'm sure a ep1 would be worth more

I would be expecting a hell of a lot more for the pilot.

DeVore

Also another good forum is www.therpf.com a good few lost fans on that plus profiles in history will be auctioning alot of original lost props and costumes so if u coincide it around that you may get more

so you have the rambling

If you could get someone to set up a web site for you to raffle it would make some serious cash, use all the suggestions above to publicise the raffle.
A friend of mine done this with a signed world cup jersey a few years ago, cant remember for which charity. basically someone volunteered to set up the site for free as it was a fundraiser. all it consisted of was a few pics and a link to purchase tickets.
He charged £10 per ticket and sold over 3000 tickets, raised over £30k.
Publicising the raffle is the main thing!

worth looking into because imho more people would be willing to spend £10 on a raffle ticket system, than would get into a bidding war

Hope this helps

Me want! :eek:

EDIT: If you take twitch1984's advice, I can throw together a website if needs be.. can't promise it'll be pretty or professional however!

DeVore

websites not generally a big problem for me but the help in promoting it might be invaluable.

I know this lad, Darragh? Seems to be all over the meeja these days :pac:

DeVore

Though I have a feeling that no one in Ireland can afford 15 euro let along 15K euro for it!

I'll get on this as soon as I get back into the country and get some video of it etc.

I hope to **** we sell it for LOADS.
