Has this been done yet? Any response? Seems like the best idea.

Also, might we consider just bidding on the toy at this point? I know it isn't what you guys wanted, but it seems the simplest thing. We can almost double the current bid, and then if someone bids higher, all the better - more money for Jean-Baptiste.

Well, some members feel that if we don't take part in bidding then it would mean that organization might get the amount from auction and the donation from AAm both. If we bid, then they won't get extra from the auction.

if we need to get desperate in contacting someone.

I made this point in my post.

Which means if there is no other options left for us to pursue.

We still have options open to us at this point.

It is an option to do that, but like Scruffy said, it would lower the amount the group would raise.

HOWEVER

if we CANT contact the group in anyway...then they will be missing out on the 1000 euros we want to give...so at that point....bidding on the toy will give them the 1000, instead of the 500 or so the bid is at...so in that scenario, they will still raise more money.

Its a hard choice to make...
