Members balthazarr Posted November 13, 2008 Members Share Posted November 13, 2008 I'm in for Alley.Just saw this today as I'm not able to access a pc unless at a library which were all closed yesterday. I'll donate my Morley Wah/Vol pedal since living in motel parking lots doesn't give me opportunity to use it. lol Only thing is, I can't afford to pay for shipping with no income at present.

Members balthazarr Posted November 13, 2008 Members Share Posted November 13, 2008 I can't put into words appreciation for the degree of help Alley gave to me earlier this year. In some small way, I hope my offering helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the new guy Posted November 13, 2008 Members Share Posted November 13, 2008 This pic is simply a great shot. I would like to see a picture of the setup for getting that pic. Also, not one smudge on the guitar. It seems like when I go for nice shots, I always end up finding at least one finger print. That is a great shot. It seems that Jay is a pretty good photographer as well.Is that the Honeyburst, or Amber burst ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seven58 Posted November 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 13, 2008 That is a great shot.

The photos on the GFS site don't do that finish justice like these shots do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members catsandstrats Posted November 13, 2008 Members Share Posted November 13, 2008 I hope everybody gets on here and helps as much as possible. I know times seem tough right now, but this is a good person in real need. It may seem like you are poor because you dont have as much equity in your house, or your 401K went down by a bit in the last few months, but really....not much has changed as far as cash on hand for most folks. Hell, gas is cheaper than it was 6 months ago, the stores are throwing sales at us right now, we should have plenty of play money right now!! Anyways, lets get serious about helping out someone in need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mmkco Posted November 13, 2008 Members Share Posted November 13, 2008 Paypal sent Dave! I'll see if I can dig up some prizes also. Without sounding too corny. Where else would you find a group of knuckleheads that help each other out like this?!!!! Even though he's going through hard-times, I'm honored to be able to be helping Alley for a change. He is a great guy! And all you guys ain't so bad yourselves. Keep it coming. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaveAronow Posted November 13, 2008 Members Share Posted November 13, 2008 Do you accept international donations? I don't live in the US but I wouldn't mind paying for shipping if needed. Are you talking about donations of gear? Or just paypalling moolah for tickets? If it is gear, then take into consideration shipping charges. We made the tickest really inexpensive so everyone could take part without feeling too much of a pinch. If shipping of gear is going to be VERY expensive, we would rather see you contribute another way. Anyone have any ideas, for international donators/contributers to participate without getting raped by paypal or shipping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian's right. Times are tough right now. If you own a house, and have lost equity - be thankful you have a house. If you have a 401K and its value has decreased - be thankful you have a 401K. Alley's told me more than once he could live in a cave, if he had to. I believe him. But I hope it doesn't come to that. He lives in the north, where winters can get really bad. When he had his guitar shop, he used to chop wood for a wood stove to keep it warm. He knows the meaning of the words, "working for a living." So to everyone who's contributed, either financially or with words of support, thank you. It's for a great guy who can really use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If shipping of gear is going to be VERY expensive, we would rather see you contribute another way. Anyone have any ideas, for international donators/contributers to participate without getting raped by paypal or shipping? I quoted the question and Dave's response because I thought it was a good one. My two cents... If you have a PayPal account and are making a donation then it should work fine. If you are mailing a donation the mailing might not be here before the end of the raffle. If it is about winning an item and you are willing to pay the shipping for something you win, I don't see a problem (doesn't mean there might not be one). But of course if you win an item that cost more to ship than it is worth, it doesn't make much sense. Jay would have more knowledge and expertise on shipping a guitar internationally. But Jay is not expected to be held responsible for the fees or concerns of shipping a guitar internationally. Long story short. If it is something that can work out relatively easy, then great. If it ends up being more trouble than it's worth, then no. I don't expect any of the people offering prizes to be held responsible for shipping items internationally. If you decide to donate, please donate knowing that it may not be something that will work out internationally. I hate not having a better answer. If anyone has any better info to add, please feel free. Most of all, thanks for wanting to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
