1 wish/1000 paper cranes

I'm offering: For approximately the past ten years, I've been folding paper cranes. I currently have nine-hundred-and-fifty-some, but I've been putting off finishing the thousand because I can't think of anything I want that I'm certain enough about to spend 10 years' worth of wish on it.

If you win this auction, you can e-mail me your wish, and I'll fold the last few dozen cranes and make your wish, then mail them to an address of your choice (you pay postage from the US) or dispose of them in some other way you specify.

Additional Info (optional): The cranes are folded out of scrap paper, mostly small foil candy wrappers, mostly in strings of 25. So they're shiny, but not really decorative, and some of them show the marks of having knocked around with me for ten years and multiple moves. Bid on this for the wish, not the craft, or you might be disappointed.

Also, I reserve the right to decline a wish that is openly malicious or otherwise ethically problematic, at my discretion.

And I make no guarantees whatsoever that any wish will come true.

Starting Bid: £30 ($50)

I can't afford to bid on this but it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I hold you in my heart.

Oh my god. This is out of my price range (also, I have no wish worth a thousand cranes) but I'll be donating extra later today in honor of this incredibly beautiful offer.

I don't feel like a have a wish that is worthy of your ten years of effort, but I will donate $100 US dollars extra in honor of this gift.

You are wonderful.
