Definately all the socialmedia having a big effect.

By the way we are on two pages of auction now so please look at second page.

have asked Tan to bring it back to one

Lyn (Slugsta) · « **Reply #76 on:** November 27, 2015, 17:12:45 PM »

Yes, I have been priced out of some things already

The truth is that it would probably have happened anyway, it has just happened sooner this year! I know the object of the exercise is to get loadsa money for the rescue, not to nab me a bargain, so that is just the way it goes.

Perhaps this is a way of getting the kittens involved so that they become a part of Purrs and stick around? Several of the fora I have frequented for years have become much quieter of late, I think that is the result of Facebook and other social media. Life moves on - and sometimes it leaves me behind. C'est la vie

Seems that jewellry not doing so well cos have put on some very expensive items for Judecat and they really need some good bids.

Stay away from what I want LOL

Gail Bengal Slave · « **Reply #74 on:** November 27, 2015, 17:01:42 PM »

Bid on my items, they dont seem to be doing well this year. I'll be putting my last two items on over the weekend. I am liking one particular item in the auction so putting all my money on that one thing.

Tan · « **Reply #73 on:** November 27, 2015, 16:01:25 PM »

Hi Gill (bungly)
Sad to hear that hun as we have supported you and donated for your rescue babes too.

The aim of the auction is to raise as much as poss so the higher the bids the better to help the needy ones.

You are right Dawn

Well, what's the betting they disappear again after the auction.
I am bowing out of it now and purrs as its not he same any more

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #68 on:** November 27, 2015, 15:04:08 PM »

Thats life bunglycat!

Maybe they are richer or cant get back for end of auction bidding so putting on top bid immediately.

After all this is about getting as much money as possible for Brighton.

Have to say I am also priced out on lovely things I would like

bunglycat · « **Reply #67 on:** November 27, 2015, 14:58:34 PM »

I have noticed a lot of the newbies/kittens have been on the auction and bumped loads of the threads up a lot, so much so that us that are not so well off can't afford to carry on bidding anymore .
It's fine going up 10-50p , but going up £5 and £10 a time and in the first week has just knocked a few of us out altogether now .
I hope they have the money if they win.

This used to be fun , but now it's not so much .

Lyn (Slugsta) · « **Reply #66 on:** November 25, 2015, 22:34:37 PM »

Yes, I have the 'igloo' here already

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #65 on:** November 25, 2015, 19:39:22 PM »

Yes there will be a name thread going up at weekend

Sootyca · « **Reply #64 on:** November 25, 2015, 19:33:52 PM »

Collect Plus can also be reasonable depending on the size.

Is there a name the kitten thread this year or is Ron not taking in any more at the moment.

I really want to name a kitty Jedward again

Tan · « **Reply #63 on:** November 24, 2015, 17:59:50 PM »

If they have sent it to ya already - it prob best vis Hermes courier for that size.

Liz · « **Reply #62 on:** November 23, 2015, 23:31:14 PM »

When I got my Igloo pet they sent them direct to the winners FOC maybe worth a try

Lyn (Slugsta) · « **Reply #61 on:** November 23, 2015, 22:19:42 PM »

I think I will have to arrange a courier for the Igloopets item. I'm sure someone will tell me how to go about it when the time comes...

hollycat · « **Reply #60 on:** November 23, 2015, 20:50:02 PM »

Last year I sent all parcels 2nd class bar one, which was first class signed for. The 2nd class parcels took 1-2 days the other one took 3 days.

Tan · « **Reply #59 on:** November 23, 2015, 20:45:54 PM »

Thanks hun

Yes two years ago the lovely RM brought in a split for parcels with a small parcel size and a medium parcel size. And a massive increase in medium parcel postage rate!! so it is cheaper to send small parcels!
and here is the guide for non buisness over the post office counter

The cert of posting is free - just need to ask for it.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #58 on:** November 23, 2015, 19:09:56 PM »

Just a quick point about postage...

I posted something for ebay the other day, a small parcel (shoebox size) weighing just under 2kg... the difference between 1st and 2nd class used to be something like 40p, it's now £2.65 difference - £2.80 for 2nd class or £5.45 for 1st class

Just something to bear in mind when posting out the auction goodies, also you can ask for a 'certificate of posting' which is basically a computerised receipt that allows you to claim up to £20 compensation if it goes astray in the post.

Liz · « **Reply #57 on:** November 22, 2015, 21:25:08 PM »

I have Mugs, cat bowls and some other stuff to but at least the scratching posts are now on = modelled by some of my own cats and note we have no pompoms attached the Clan kittens have been a bit unruly with the testing of theirs lol

maddercow · « **Reply #56 on:** November 22, 2015, 20:06:55 PM »

Not bad is it?

I was a bit worried as had been a bit quieter in the run up than previous years but the kitty brigade are out in force again! Xx

Tan · « **Reply #55 on:** November 22, 2015, 19:52:09 PM »

Excellent 1st day start

I have got lots more stuff to go on but will wait for a bit

Happy auctioning peeps

Sorry, I was having a 'senior moment', I'd got myself in a bit of a panic and stopped using my grey cells

Feel a lot better now that I have got started. I have stated that the items were 'kindly donated by...' but now wonder if that might not be a good idea?

No that is just what you need to do...................offering my one grey cell

Gail Bengal Slave · « **Reply #53 on:** November 22, 2015, 15:45:58 PM »

If you use photoshop when resizing - use save to web and it reduces the size dramatically - just resized mine and done my write ups. Hopefully the photos will be big enough - I have them about 350x250 the files size is small.
