Fundraising

I will cover the cost of all shipping and fees and there will be no premiums or anything else added to the final bid prices Please bid accordingly to help me cover part of this. To place a bid on any item(s) please email me. I will try and keep the page updated for all high bids. The auctions will close on Sunday 13th November at 4pm PST. I will explain to winning bidders how to make their payments/donations after the auctions end. You can bid as often as you like. There are no minimums and no fixed increments.

It's Movember and time to make a difference.

Men’s health is a cause I am passionate about but in order to make a difference I need your help. My commitment is to grow a moustache for the month of November and in doing so, raise vital awareness and funds for mens health including prostate and testicular cancer.

I am asking you to help support my personal journey by making a donation. The size of which isn’t important, every little contribution helps Movember to continue its funding of world class programmes. If you want to know more about what you’ll be helping to fund, you can visit Movember's Program Overview page.

To highlight the importance of what I am doing, take a look at these statistics:
• 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime
• This year 40,000 new cases of the disease will be diagnosed in the UK
• 47% of testicular cancer cases occur in men under 35 years and over 90% occur in men under 55 years

If you’d like to help change these statistics, then in addition to these auctions you can make direct donations by:
• Donating online at: http://mobro.co/davidspragg
• Writing a cheque payable to 'Movember', referencing my Registration ID: 1854216 and mailing it to: Movember Europe PO Box 68600 London EC1P 1EF

Direct donations of £15 or more will qualify for one of these limited edition chips:

This charity was founded by and is operated by my wife to fund various projects in Sierra Leone. Unfortunately my wife has not been able to do any fundraising for 3-1/2 months and has fallen behind as a result. You can read about it and make direct donations here:

The ChipBoard forum is a major resource for chip collectors to communicate with each other, buy, sell & trade. I operate this forum at my cost less any donations and advertising revenues. Recently the server was hacked and it took considerable resources to get it back up and running. There is still some additional maintenance work that needs to be done. You can also make direct donations or buy advertising banner space here:

Lot 1: $5 King 8 Casino, Las Vegas chip in almost uncirculated condition. An example of this chip recently went for $425 on eBay.

Donated by a consignor for whom I have sold many chips in recent years. These 13 lots conflicted with items already in my inventory so the vendor very kindly donated them all with proceeds to be split equally 3 ways between Movember, Build on Books & The ChipBoard.

Lot 6: $25 Khoury's El Rancho Rio, Las Vegas chip in almost uncirculated condition.

The following 7 lots (16 chips) were donated by ChipBoard readers to raise funds for the maintenance of that forum.

Lot 19: $5 Harrah's, San Diego, Year of the OX NCV chip in uncirculated condition.
