As you can see, this fine specimen is now in my possession. What I want to do is send Ben on a journey, a trek if you will. Anyone who wants a visit from Ben should send me an email containing a shipping address. My email address is available in my profile. All I want is for you to spring for the shipping to the next home, and a small donation back to me for the original cost of the clock.
Here's how I imagine all of this working. I will keep the master list in my home. I will ship the clock to the first recipient, with the next address enclosed for them to ship it to next. Then, each new recipient will email me for the next address. No one but me will have access to all of the addresses. I don't even need a home address, just a place where you can accept packages.
As for the donation part, I can accept paypal, or you can send me some other form of payment through the mail. I want my return address left on the shipping box, so if something goes wrong, Ben comes back to me. Currently, I have no idea what shipping costs would come to, but $12-15 should cover it. If you donate $5, a $20 should cover all of your costs. Is this worth that to you?
I would like to think Ben would only stay with each family for about 3 days, unless some special occasion requires him to stick around for pictures at the ceremony. If there is such an occasion, I would need to know when it is being held so that I can try my best to have Ben there for it. A shuffling of recipients might be in order.
