My heart has just about returned to normal - that was nerve wracking stuff, but looks like I got 2 wins. (Both for my darling girls). was getting really nervous towards the end as I was convinced I'd lose out at the last minute as the two I won were hard fought over.

I'd only watched the auction in previous years, and this was the first time I'd actually taken part, but can't wait for next years!!

well done Purrs team for all your hard work.

Lord love a duck, catladies and auctions make up quite the overwhelming combination

I didn't even get through my bid list, and I have no idea as to if I won anything - or what.
But what an introduction to the world of Purrs

I think I may need to break in to the kids emergency food fund but hopefully we have got some things for their Daddy for Baku so it feels like home

Also I think if we got everything the Boris wanted we will have one happy little kitten and lots of grumpy adults

That was great! I was very restrained this year but I got the lovely broach I fell in love with, and a couple of other goodies.

Plus, I'm over the moon with how much A Streetcat Named Bob made!

Loads of final bids missed the cut sadly.

Wow what an auction and thank you everyone who has been bidding like crazy, I know we have beaten our target

JenGeorgieBob · « **Reply #205 on:** December 02, 2012, 20:01:56 PM »

That was quite exciting :D and I was only bidding on 3 things in the end...

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #204 on:** December 02, 2012, 20:01:06 PM »

It's over!! I need to go and calm down and make a cup of coffee before I do anything, including looking to see if my final bids were late enough!

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #203 on:** December 02, 2012, 19:54:36 PM »

it's speeded up a bit now. It had better not slow down again, at least not for the next 6 mins!!

Tan · « **Reply #202 on:** December 02, 2012, 19:54:03 PM »

Tan · « **Reply #197 on:** December 02, 2012, 19:36:38 PM »

Nuver tip near end is to have all ya items open in sep tabs in ya browser and post fast on each

PACA = Purrs Annual Christmas Auction

sheilarose · « **Reply #195 on:** December 02, 2012, 17:54:43 PM »

Oh yes! Not sure what PACA means but Ctrl + F is your friend

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #194 on:** December 02, 2012, 17:51:29 PM »

I find the search a bit hit and miss, sometimes it brings up nothing, other times hundreds of posts with that word in!

My PACA tip from the top is to be on the auction page then press Ctrl + F, then type your word in the box and bingo

It only works on words in the title though so you have to try and remember how it was described!

Skiddaw · « **Reply #193 on:** December 02, 2012, 17:39:32 PM »

Sheila, thanks for the tip

I've been going cross-eyed trying to read down the items to find my ones!

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #192 on:** December 02, 2012, 17:35:44 PM »

Yes but that doesn't help if you can't remember what you bid on or the exact words used to name or describe it!

I must admit I've lost track of what I'm bidding on and even when I try to search for a particular thread I struggle to find it!

Oooh Oooh I can help!

I discovered the "search" button up there

you just type in a key word like (God help me here) "Tea Towel" and up the thread pops - magic! Go find your long lost thread and BUY BUY BUY!!!

Dawn F · « **Reply #190 on:** December 02, 2012, 17:31:07 PM »

yes the bumping up thing has totally baffled me I have no idea what I'm in for now!

I agree Sheila - it sort of focuses's the mind doesn't it and once you've got into the spirit that's it - no turning back.

sheilarose · « **Reply #184 on:** December 02, 2012, 15:44:40 PM »

I think of the auction as the Gateway to Christmas, Tan. Everything begins with the auction - my Christmas shopping, my Christmas cards, my tree decorations, my festive spirit.

Without the auction, I sort of stumbled into Christmas but now, well, this IS where it's at!

Thank you Purrs, for my Christmas starting pistol.

Tan · « **Reply #183 on:** December 02, 2012, 14:33:19 PM »

Ya know it gets exciting getting towards the end so see the great frantic bids at the end

Tan · « **Reply #182 on:** December 02, 2012, 11:56:57 AM »
