Corambis ARCs

truepennyJohn Scalzi has 10 things about authors he'd like you to keep in mind. To all of which, I say, "Hear hear!" and also "Ditto."
On a not entirely unrelated note, the FedEx ninja brought me today three ARCs* of Corambis. Two years ago I auctioned off an ARC of The Mirador to benefit the John M. Ford Memorial Book Endownment. Given that Corambis--the actual book--will be out on April 7, and given the current miserable state of the economy, would people be interested if I did another auction (starting bid $25)?
(If I did this, I'd actually do two auctions, one to benefit the JMFMBE--assuming it's still there to be benefited, which I hope very much it is but cannot tell from the website--and one to benefit Scarleteen. Just so people know.)
Replying in the affirmative is NOT the same as promising to bid.
ETA: Yes, I will sign the ARCs. I didn't say that originally because it seemed obvious--dude, they're sitting ON MY DESK--but people have asked. Also, odds are extremely good that I will hand-correct them. Because I am a neurotic pink circus poodle and also a perfectionist and I hate hate hate the fact that ARCs go out with all the things I corrected in the galleys UNCORRECTED. *ahem*
