I shouldn't be exaggerating this but I really need your support right now.

My 6 yrs old Wacom (Graphire4) tablet is dying, as Rarity says "This is the worst thing ever!" :c

I've been having a hard time making it work lately, as far as I know the cause of all this it's the USB cable, I had it replaced twice by myself due all the mechanical stress I put on it every time I switch between my office PC, laptop and home PC and after all this time it has already taken its toll, right now making it work properly again it's far beyond my skills/resources.

Getting a new one is the most reliable option right now, I had in mind getting a "cheap" tablet like a Bamboo as the replacement of my Graphire but I think it is time to get something bigger, maybe an Intuos, they might be a bit expensive than a Bamboo but I think it is totally worth it.

Definitely I will go for a Intuos5, my first choice is the small one (PTH450), since it got the same specs with a couple less features than the other two, besides it’s easier to carry on and to take it with me everywhere and because it’s cheaper!, tbh.

Probably I’ll buy it from the same place I bought my Graphire six years ago (www.coolgraphicstuff.com), why not buying it locally? Unfortunately prices of these devices around here a bit prohibitive, I mean, for the same tablet I mentioned earlier the price it’s around $350 USD + S&H and they are not that easy to find.

Anyway, buying from there is not cheap either; if they send it directly to here it would be at least $50 to $60 only for S&H and there could be an extra fee from customs, yet this option is at least $50 to $80 USD cheaper than buying it locally, an extra point from them is that I can pay directly with my Paypal, skipping that long and stupid process of transferring my funds to my bank account.

Now, with my current income it will take me ages before I could save enough to buy it, this is where I ask you for some help, I am going to open a few YCH auctions and some live streaming sketch sessions as long as my current tablet allows me and/or I reach my goal, as well if you are interested in a commission please drop me a note or a message here to arrange something.

For now I’ll finish a couple pending pieces and then I’ll start this little fund rising.

Thanks in advance for your support; I’ll appreciate it a lot!!

*hugs everyone*
