Thanks Gill - this is my first Purrs Auction so wasn''t sure about the bidding and how long the items were on for - have my eye on a couple of things already !

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #38 on:** November 24, 2008, 00:05:58 AM »

You are right the bidding on all items does not finish until 1900 on 7 Dec and we try to keep the bidding going for two weeks, hence my posts about pacing bids for a marathon

The aim of the auction is to raise money for Paws Inn but also to have loads of fun and thats why the pace is needed

There may be a bidding frenzy but there may not be, every one cant post on all items at once at the last minute and we use the purrs site clock to end the bids..if you are one second too late you lose out

So tactics are the key, little hidden bids, massive bid to kill everyone else off.........maybe......a penny a time....basically just fun fun fun

Hopefully new items will appear every day and we will also have things to enter and give a bit that way......first one up is the Cat/animal chrissy picture show but there will be others

I think as its getting late and /or i am being a bit dense here - am i right in thinking all items on the auction stay on till 7th dec for bidding and then everything ends that day !
If so, i bet there will be a bidding frenzy at the last minute as some people won''t bid till the 7th !?

Will put a few more items on in a few days for you.

Last year was my first auction, and i have to say it was great fun and all my purchases arrived safely and promptly. I can only encourage newbies to give it a go. The bids don't close for days, so you can just sit back and watch the fun for a day or so while you get the hang of it. Basically the final bid received by the defined time and date, is the winning bid, so anything that goes on beforehand is just a warm up to the last scramble to bid on the things you really want!!

So go for it, it is great fun!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #16 on:** November 23, 2008, 14:33:04 PM »

For all Purrs auction newbies, this is a live auction but its a bit like a marathon and you need to pace yourself if you do not want to run out of carbs.....or even dosh

Dont run too quick too early cos there is always someone lurking round the next corner

25 minutes to go

Will it be possible to have a sponsor a cat item again this year?

I hope so, and the kitten naming

Quote from: le chat noir on November 13, 2008, 20:25:28 PM

I'm not sure if anyone will remember me as I have not posted for a while, I just pop in from time to time to see what you are up too. Well, I have seen that the auction is coming up and will be most honored to take part again. Last year was just brilliant and I'm looking forward to helping raise some funds for Teresa and her babes.

Of course we remember you, once a Purrs member always a Purrs member - no matter how often you visit or post

I take it there's no news about Phoebe? How is little Spooky getting on nowadays?

You can sell services, provided they're legal
