And, that's the part that hurts. People donating and doing a good thing, and then folks seizing the opportunity to make a buck.
I would *think* you'd never have to opt to pay the $10 to retrieve your quilt. They *DO* need policies in place for things that have zero bids, otherwise they'd be overrrun with donations, kwim? You don't HAVE TO pay the $10. You can OPT TO pay the $10. Or, you can donate it to a local agency. Because you did choose to donate it in the first place, kwim? You were willing to let it go from its inception, of free will, with no strings attatched.
