Wow we've already reached the goal? Someone anonymous donated a ton That's probably Dante and Daniel Handler (assuming they're not the same person)

My detective instincts indicate that both people were catastrophist and someone Resemblance talked to. But whoever it is... Thank you very much.

Volunteers, I am blown away. We have reached our goal in less than 24 hours and with extra to boot which will go to digitizing the scripts. Thank you, thank you, to everybody. I am making the offer today and will keep you updated. Cross your fingers!

Tell them that they better accept, or else Lol I like the way you think but that’s just the thing: there’s literally no way to talk to the person or else I would have just told him what we were doing. I just sent him an offer for $500 which would make him his original $ back and a profit so hopefully that will be sufficient.

I came across your bid on reddit! I've donated $10, hopefully you'll have enough soon and I look forward to seeing the scripts online somewhere!

Amazing! I won't say what I donated, but just that I'm very excited to see what these scripts can tell us! I really hope the guy takes the offer! Keep us updated Mr. Sharpe

Another great aspect about these scripts is that they have handwritten notes in them from Scott Rudin and Barry Sonnfenfeld, which should offer an even better look at their initial plans.

If you need me to give even more money, I am happy to do so. I don't have a lot of savings atm, but this worth it. :Edit: I will actually, because I think we should be able to make a higher offer if he rejects our initial one. :Edit: Another great aspect about these scripts is that they have handwritten notes in them from Scott Rudin and Barry Sonnfenfeld, which should offer an even better look at their initial plans. I would like to suggest that this kind of observation be done by pm. We are an open forum, and we live in a capitalist world, and... The value can increase unnecessarily.

Update: The owner has rejected the offer of $500. In the GoFundMe, there is currently $750 that has been donated. Some of that fund was going to go to the cost of digitizing all 9 scripts. We have a couple of options: Raise the offer or refund everybody their donations. I want to proceed with caution because I am very aware that this is people's money. I am going to post a similar update on the GoFundMe.

I can cover the cost of digitizing if necessary as I know people with equipment.

Thanks for the update. I know I don't speak for everyone, but I'd be happy to contribute more when I can. I'd be willing to vote for upping the offer one more time. If it's rejected again, then we may need to just refund at that point and move on unfortunately.
Who knows how much this person will end up wanting and trying to string us along for, honestly I'm surprised they're willing to sell at all.
So, I think a little higher offer couldn't hurt. Just my two cents. I completely understand if people would prefer to step back now though.
