[Leica] FS: For the Philippines typhoon relief aid, donations matched by Canada

[peter.cheyne at gmail.com (Peter Cheyne)]

It's Friday, so I advertise now, although I won't post other details until
next Friday.

I'm selling off the following equipment and all proceeds will go to typhoon
relief in the Philippines.

Money paid for the equipment will be given to a Canadian charity providing
relief  to people in typhoon-hit areas of the Philippines before December
8th. Her Majesty's Government of  Canada will match any donation given to
approved relief charities registered in Canada before this date (and for
donations up to C$100,000.

See here for those details:

I'm not yet sure how best to proceed with this. Perhaps it is best if the
buyer pays the charity directly, then shows me pre-agreed evidence of the
donation. Then I will ship the items.If anyone has any suggestions about
the arrangements, please send me a message on or off the LUG list.

I hope these sales make as much as possible, so I ask fellow LUG members
and our saloon-keeper, Mr Brian Reid to allow this sale to go ahead as an
auction, rather than by fixed price, with bids for items submitted by
e-mail.

Over the weekend I'll make and upload photos of (and some taken with) the
equipment for sale.

For now, please look over the list and consider making some purchases. If
you see anything that you're interested in bidding for, write me straight
away and I'll tell you details. As I said, I'll also be posting more
details and more items next Friday for the same cause.

Shipping can be negotiated case by case. I have another baby due in
January, so my wife and I would be grateful if you offered to cover the
cost of shipping from Japan, which I have always found to be swift and safe.

Best wishes,

Peter
