Holiday Half-Price Sale

[fuzzyred]

This week there is a half-price sale for all (or most) of ysabetwordsmith's available poetry. I have a bit extra to spend this time, so I can go around the $200 range, and I am willing to run a pool if no one else wants to. A pool would net us the quarter price rate, so everything would be even CHEAPER and we could buy more poems. I don't think we could buy out the whole sale ($1915.50 at quarter price), but we could probably make a sizeable dent, if people want to join the bandwagon.

Below, I have listed my first four targets, along with all of their information, in case anyone is interested. This leaves about half my budget free for whatever strikes someone's fancy, though with no outside input I will tend towards the Polychrome Heroics poems.

So, if anyone has any ideas or input, let me know, and we'll see if we can buy lots of poetry!

I've got a little list
Of poems that got missed
(But now they won't be missed)

There's overlap in the Shiv poems; I prompted "Pie Day" and wanted that one to get out there. But "Mending the Broken" is in there, too. I'm most interested in the Iron Horses, Kraken, and Big One threads, pretty much in that order.

I've earmarked a bit over $350 at quarter-price. Not sure I'm ready to go that high, but your $115.75 initial target round and my $159.50 initial target round (Iron Horses and Kraken) would be $265.25.

If we get $100 in additional pledges to a pool, that would be almost as much as the $103.25 to buy up the Big One thread. So I'm thinking we go for $200 to fund $100 in your stretch goals.

I have enough time to run a pool to avoid the CAD<->USD round-trip conversion for those of us south of your border. I will post the rest of my targets soon, and we can see where we stand. How does that sound?

Pool is up now
