As I'm sure many of you have seen on the news by now, last weekend, we here in Arkansas were hit with an F4 tornado that completely wiped 2 towns near me completely off the map. Mayflower and Vilonia, both less than an hour away from where I live (Mayflower is less than 20 minutes up the highway), were devastated- entire hosing areas flattened, nothing but debris fields left. You can see photos of the severe damage here: http://www.thv11.com/topic/a5878b1c-c31f-4a80-aef9-dfaeaf3da1f0/arkansas-tornadoes/

I have a TON of plushies in my collection that are just sitting around in my spare bedroom, in boxes, away from my pets and everything. Plushies that I'm never going to do anything with again. Some are getting donated directly to the the tornado victims as there are stuffed toy donations being collected for the children who have lost everything they've ever owned. The rest, I think I'd like to sell, and donate the profits to the AR Tornado Disaster Relief funds. They would go to places like the Red Cross, and the local university charity drives so that they can help our communities pick up the pieces and put their lives back together.

I have all sorts of plush, from small to large, basic animals to Disney and anime characters, all would be going up for sale. The question is, is it better to put them up on an auction site, like Dealer's Den, or just put them in a photo post here on Weasyl/FA and let people claim the ones they want and pay me directly for them? Which would YOU prefer?

I'll take some opinions and/or questions for a bit and then make a decision, but I want to start this soon, probably this weekend. Keep your eyes on my journals if you're a plush collector!
