Good morning all

Thank you to all in the collectibles section for your support and Thankyou to yogg for offering to escrow the winning bids - genuine appreciation

Unfortunately, I will have to justify my actions and reasoning behind the whole thread.
There is obviously some naivety with this auction mainly due to the unexpectedly high bid on one of the pieces.
My thought process for starting this auction was-
My daughter enjoys painting and creating all sorts of arts and crafts and I’m a
BTC fan
![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
I suggested that she could make some art works based on
BTC, she ignored me and continued to do what she enjoyed - as is the want of most children! She surprised me by then presenting me with these two pieces. I then thought that I could introduce her to
BTC and show her what it’s all about . I then showed her how a wallet works, how the blockchain works and how easy it is to make transactions etc. I then suggested that she could try to sell some artworks on the forum - why not ? She wasn’t overly keen as she believed that they weren’t worth anything. Our family - no different to many many families- always do a bit for charity. So I suggested giving half to the charity on this forum - this suited her perfectly

I was expecting/ hoping that we could get £5-10 per Lot and so she would have half that to put in her newly created wallet and half to the COVID-19 charity and Dad would pay postage and packaging.
Sadly , I’ve had to justify my actions and I truly appreciate those who’ve supported myself and my family . The collectibles is a lovely place to be - sorry rambling on
AND Thankyou for the bids Kialara and tweetious.
Have a lovely Sunday all
EDIT -I’ve been in touch with yogg and any buyers can use yoggs escrow address to pay

Yogg will split this - 50% straight to the Covid-19 fund and 50% to my daughters wallet address after all packages have been received and buyers are happy with the artwork . Hopefully this is as transparent as possible . Thanks again yogg
