Marc, email me your bank details and i will transfer a donation when i get paid.

If you decide to e-mail such data, it would be better to encrypt it.

Besides, I think he rather has cash sent through snail mail.

A non-free TOTPD

When I have some spare cash, I'll convert to Euro's and send it off. Unfortuantely Xmas bankrupted me, so this will not be soon, however it should arrive before May.

[Reply #82 on:]

^ I'm like that.  I'm skint at the moment, however, some will be dispatched as soon as I have it.

[Reply #83 on:]

I'm returning to work on January 27.  That means I will have more disposable income in my pocket.  I'll send out some of that Mickey Mouse Monopoly money, also known as the Euro.  Euro, hehe sounds like a compact car..."Presenting the 2003 Ford Euro, ten gallons to the mile and an all new plastic frame, starting at only $50,000."  What's the snail-mail addy for PEEL contributions?

*Bump*

Current Fund Level: €80

Rest needed: €94

[Reply #87 on:]

I've been procrastinating on my promise to send some cash.  I get paid on Friday, I'll put some munny in card and fire it your way.

[Reply #88 on:]

Yeah, eventually I'll make good on my promise to send some too.  Money's tight with the housebuying, so once I'm settled, I'll do the same as Spicey.

[Reply #89 on:]

can you exchange american dollars where you are? What is the exchange rate for dollars-euros?

[Reply #90 on:]

I get about 92 Euro cents per dollar here at the moment. Rates change daily though.

[Reply #91 on:]

LIke i said, id send money, but i dont have a way of gettin it to you, other than the post. Plus who wants australian dollars anyway. Youd probably lose money gettin em exchanged.

[Reply #92 on:]

Jeez people.  Go to any bank or foreign exchange and pick up Euros, Dinars, Zlotniks, Kopecs, Yen or what ever the hell you want.  That's their raison d'etre.

[Reply #93 on:]

Hey marc, that little section that says support peel, when we buy something featured in that little section, or when we follow that link to amazon's site, do you get a cut or something. If i ever get electronic money, i may just buy the futurama DVD's from there.

[Reply #94 on:]

yup

[Reply #95 on:]

Would you prefer EUR or USD? USD are easier for me, but I can find a bank with some EURs. I'd love to send over about USD10. (A little over EUR10 I think.)

Can you put a fundraising thing on the front page of PEEL with a status of how much you need by when? It would draw attention to the fundraising.

What's the German word/phrase for AIR MAIL? I know you should always write AIR MAIL in English, French, and the local language(s).

[Reply #96 on:]

Luftpost

[Reply #97 on:]

I can make do with USD. Ten USD would translate to roughly 9 Euros due to the rather low dollar right now, but that's fine.

Incidentally, Spice Weasel sent me EUR20 which brings us to:

Current Fund Level: €100
Next payment: €174 (due June 2003)
Rest needed: €74

[Reply #98 on:]

Okay, so I'll send you eleven USD. At today's rates, it's 10.29EUR.
I've got it addressed and sealed; I just have to get to the post office so that the proper postage can be put on it. Hopefully that will be tomorrow.

[Reply #99 on:]

I got them today and it should come to ~ EUR10 after conversion fees. Thanks again.

This brings us to:
Current Fund Level: €110
Next payment: €174 (due start of June 2003)
Rest needed: €64

[Reply #100 on:]

As I'm getting the bill for the next 6 months in exactly a month from today, I thought I'd bump this once more.

[Reply #101 on:]

I'll try and sort something out, e-mail me the relevant details, bitte.

[Reply #102 on:]

MArc how much does it cost to do things on info-pop? I have a friind who needs to find a good place to host.

[Reply #103 on:]

Depends on what you want/need ...  http://www.google.com/search?q=infopop+products
plus webhosting if you don't host at their server. (Please keep that discussion out of this thread).

[Reply #104 on:]

Got 10 more anonymous Euros. Bill is about to come in (next week, I suppose)

Brings us to:
Current Fund Level: €120
Next payment: €174 (due start of June 2003)
Rest needed: €54

[Reply #105 on:]

I'll try and get 20 on the way, Monday or Tuesday.

[Reply #106 on:]

Got 40 more anonymous €'s and a bill over 174€. Next six months are paid for with the missing 14€ coming from CGEF (e.g.: use our links, damnit).

Current Fund Level: 0€
Next Payment: 174€ (due start of December 2003)
Rest needed: 174€

Every arriving contribution will now go against that next bill.

You watch too many movies, Spicy.

[Reply #108 on:]

Why do you say that? 

[Reply #109 on:]

So whats that you need? 174 Deathmarcs or whatever? Whats your address, i suppose i'll exchange some notes and send them too you.

And so do we need to buy something from the amazon? OR just click on the link for you to get paid.

[Reply #110 on:]

The address is in the first post on the first page (the link there). And the amazon thing only works when people buy from there once they clicked the links (usually 5% of what is bought is paid as commission).

Not in this city. Two different banks told me to drive an hour and a half to the Charlotte Douglas International Airport (in Charlotte) to get some GBP, same goes for EUR. (Fortunately, I'm flying through the Charlotte Douglas International Airport, so I can pick up some GBP on my way to GB.)

You and your big cities having lots of banks with foreign currencies...

Oh, and [-mArc-], I gave at the office. Out of curiosity, where is PEEL hosted that hosting costs EUR348/year?

(And, yeah, I know this is off-topic. Delete it if you must.)

[Reply #112 on:]

So we need to send euro?

[Reply #113 on:]

I can make do with AUD and USD just fine.

PEEL is hosted in Germany at a high-performance hoster (last few days were slow due to us being pushed on a backup-server, back now though). They got the service and resources. I could probably host it cheaper at some point, but for now I don't want to switch.

[Reply #114 on:]

Well I got you 5% commission on my Season3,
but I might make u a donation.

I cant do an online banking transaction to your bank account can I?

[Reply #115 on:]

Thanks.

International wire transfer usually comes with a big fee. Money in envelopes is only a stamp. If you still want the international BIC and such, email me.

[Reply #116 on:]

What about online money-transfer establishments like PayPal?

[Reply #117 on:]

Sorry, no paypal because ... I don't have a credit card and I know people go got into troubles with it.

I think stamps for an international letter are pretty cheap. Don't even need to pay airmail. For me it is about $1 as stamps that way.

[Reply #118 on:]

Aviod paypal if you can. There are security concerns with it. ITs possible for the person recieving the payment, or someone intercepting it to drain your whole account.

[Reply #119 on:]

I sent munny in a card, cost me $1 for the card and an stamp.  Marc received it quickly, even from my remote outpost.  As long as cash is well concealed, it will arrive.
