I thought of doing this myself, possibly on ebay, but I'm not so good at figuring out the intricacies of the legal stuff for ebay.
What if some of us who customize ponies offer a free-standing commission? Basically we auction off a commission and whatever the price goes to, we donate that amount to the Red Cross. Most of us already have the supplies for customs laying around, so we wouldn't really be losing out. Whoever wins the auction then gets whatver pony they want for a custom. Certain restrictions would apply of course; no copying a Hasbro design or another customizer's design, things like that. People like Woosie and Aikarin who can do *amazing* things might want to put some restrictions on how complicated the design can be.
I'm babbling. Does everyone understand what I'm asking? Is it possible to do it? Or is the legal stuff of having a charity auction too complicated? I'm just itching to do something to help, but I'm not really in a position to donate a huge amount of money. All of the news stations are saying NOT to donate clothes or food because there's no way to get it there, what they need is flat out money.
What do you guys think?
EDIT - Auctions starting in the Auction section of the MLPTP.
