For me, just sending me digital copies of the images would be awesome.edit: That actually sounds like a decent idea but what would we offer up for raffle that would be worth it?
But to actually raise cash? Jack the price up 300-500 bucks and use that additional fund to buy 3ds's for 2-4 randomly selected winners, say, for each 5 dollars you get an extra raffle ticket, assign numbers and get yourself some sort of digital raffle thing, or, get some of those actual tickets and send people a ticket number, then do like, a stupid video of you drawing a ticket like a lottery promo thing, that'd probably give people a huge boner. Plus, if it's more than 1 DS, you can do draws at specific milestones, like we hit 1000, draw a number! Then when you hit the cap, do a drawing for a 3ds XL or something.
But yeah, when I get paid, I'll throw ten bucks thataway, as long as you guys make the images digitally available.
I think the problem it you need to spruce up that donate page. Add a java cursor follower, those always please people. Also a picture of a smiling Monkey that moves around the border of the website. Maybe some midi background music, like Beverly Hills Cop theme is awesome. It's just a little dull and I bet not a lot of people want to donate to a "3DS Decapping Project Fundraiser " page. Also a 14 minute flash intro that you can't skip will really grasp people's attention wiinja did it.
That's my advice, at least and I'm all for you guys with this project it sounds awesome. However my question is how did you get someone to agree to do this? Do they not care about legal implications? Or is it perfectly fine to do whatever you want to your property.
I love you, so, so much.
