I am the Organizer for Austin, TX's Can't Stop The Serenity Event.

We are hosting a number of eBay and Silent Auctions for items that were donated to the cause.

(In case you are not familiar with Can't Stop The Serenity, please visit our global website:
http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com/ )

A generous Browncoat donated one of the original Firefly Promotional Crates put together and sent to media, network execs and the like to raise awareness and "pimp" the (at the time) new show.

We were going to silent auction this item at our event - but decided that eBay would be a better option as long as the winning bidder is okay with paying via Google Checkout - no fees!

The crate comes with a number of things, all photographed. Photos can be found on our Myspace, http://www.myspace.com/austinbrowncoats and our website, http://austin.cantstoptheserenity.com/

Included in the crate: (the crate, itself, is an awesome item!)
- 2 Alliance Freeze Dried Food Items
- "Joss Whedon's Firefly" hat
- Firefly Shirt in a Large
- Firefly engraved Flask
- Leather wallet with Firefly on the front
- 2 promotional cast photo postcards
- Large promotional 'verse map
- Letter from Cap'n Mal
- Blueprints of numerous ship 'rooms'.
- Invitation to the Premiere of Firefly.

I am going to put this item up on eBay, but wanted to make sure there was a demand. If you agree to use Google Check, all proceeds go to our charity of choice, Equality Now. Expect item to launch tomorrow on eBay.

Thanks for looking and you'll find our eBay auctions here:

It's definitely cool but $500 is to steep for me

You can't take the sky from me....

I know - too steep for me, too!

The crate needs to bring in at least what it cost the kind soul that donated it to the cause.

Help spread the signal!

Thanks!

*sigh* those are very cool. I remember when one sold maybe a year or so ago on eBay. (Maybe it was the same one.)

You were smart not to mention Google by name in the listing.

Yeah - It just seems silly to pay those paypal fees if google checkout is free!
