I have decided to sell my best cards and donote the money to sponsor an African child. If you are interested in buying seriously good cards have a look at this thread.
http://www.themanadrain.com/forums/index.php?topic=23039.0

As it is in the Magic Community forum, basic users can't post there but can bid via messages to me or email or any other remotely sensible method.
Have fun

That's really cool. What Organization are you using?

There a quite a few, I think it'll be Plan
http://www.plan-uk.org/

I'm fairly cynical and I like to see accounts and to be honest I like the admission that only 82% goes directly on charitable expenditure (13% on fundraising - fine by me if that means that they get over 13% more money as a result, 3% admin costs, 2% support costs). I don't believe 100% of my money will get to Africa and appreciate the truth.

Looking through the charity webpages was pretty grim, they all need money and I can't help them all.

Hi Dandan, thanks for accepting my bid via my PM. Are you able to accept Paypal as payment? If not, do you think RVS can?

I may bid on a few other items depending on what type of payment type I can figure out to send you.

Also, good luck in your effort and I applaud your generosity to helping others.

Sorry, I can't take Paypal (they don't do Slovakia despite my having an English bank account). Cash and bank to bank payments seem the obvious choices for small and large amounts, not sure about stuff in between. I could take English cheques and under EU law bank transfers within the EU should be charged at the same rate as bank-to-bank transfer within a member state (i.e. not much) so Europeans should be OK
