SELECT
YOUR PROJECT from the UFO Files pages. Each UFO File will include
a photo of the contents of the package, the kind of project it is, the state of
origin, a bit of its "story,"a list of contents, and a comment from
me.
PLEASE NOTE...TWO ADOPTION
PROCESSES: Some adoptions are Simple Adoptions, which are first-come,
first served. The other is Silent Auction Adoptions,which should give more
people an opportunity to adopt. All auctions will last one week.
SIMPLE
ADOPTIONS. Simple Adoption
is done by form. I will send a return email to the person who sends the first
completed form. The email will contain a link to make payment by Visa, Mastercard
or Paypal within 3 days. If not received within 3 days, I will move to
the next timely form. All others who submit forms will receive
an email notice of regret. However, I will keep all forms until the UFO has an
official new home.
SILENT
AUCTION ADOPTIONS. Please read the UFO
Silent Auction Info page before bidding. I am the auction provider, so there
will be no offsite registration. You will simply bid by form. Bids will be
posted at least once a day, and outbid notices will be sent. At the end of
the auction, the winner will receive an email with payment instructions.
THE "ADOPTION FEE"
covers postage and transaction costs. It is designed to reimburse both the donor
and me for postage (in Simple Adoptions). Donors may profit a bit more from silent
auction adoptions.
ONE ADOPTION PER PERSON PER MONTH. With either Simple or Auction Adoptions,
you may adopt only one UFO per month. This should give other adopters a chance.(There
may be revisions to this rule after Adoption Reality sets in.)
ADOPTED
UFOs will be removed from the availability list as soon as the Adoption
Fee has been paid.
