How much appetite is there for additional charitable watch auctions?
This may be a bout of 1WC madness overtaking me, but I'm now considering radically reducing my collection. I recently gave away a watch and am now considering selling three more over the next couple of weeks.
And frankly, I've been inspired by @Omeganut 's example and would like to have any proceeds I make have benefit a couple of charitable causes (local food banks primarily) with some generous personal matching by yours truly.
That said, I don't want to clutter up the site with a sales channel if its not where folks want to go and they'd rather keep the charitable auctions as more of a one shot.
So what say you all? Do you think WatchCrunch can deal with two simultaneous charitable watch auctions?

If you include “and Ichibunz gets the GS“ I vote D too 😉

You already have my GS! You wear it proudly while I'm stuck in the 1WC! I am repeatedly jealous of a watch I already own! Why would you want two?

Hmm, are you proposing buying out the collection up for sale? Do I sense a whale? 😂😂😂
If so, please feel free to bid blindly and I will commit to doubling....no tripling the amount given to charity!

It's a pretty great idea! I'm excited to have stolen it!

Haha !! So I will have one on the bracelet and one with the strap 😂…
Just keep the money.

I think we all understand I was proposing that you give me watches. For free. If you want to donate to charity, that’s your choice.

Dammitalltohell! I slipped and accidentally hit B. So that’s one miscount, my bad. But my actual vote is A, have at it, but I do like cheese.
I like cheese, but also yes.😂
Alright, I guess I'm doing this!
Look for a post over the next couple of days!
