[TheForge] pricing

[dan tull]

If a local group is having a benefit auction, you better be giving 
something. That's the clientele we want. Plus, say you donate a horse head 
poker to the Polo Club for their silent auction for medically fragile 
children, the winner is a customer for the rest of the set, and the second 
high bidder is a customer for the whole set. Give it away, reap the rewards.
