If you think they are bidable , sounds good

rosiesmum · « **Reply #40 on:** September 14, 2007, 17:36:00 PM »

I make my own Christmas cards each year. I am more than happy to put some up for Auction if peeps are interested. If they are I can make extra!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #39 on:** September 13, 2007, 22:22:09 PM »

I am sure that you will get bids on both but remember the cost of sending the mags will be quite high and the auctioneer pays the postage, actually we have been sneakie in the past cos auctioneer pays postage but so does the buyer and this gets us extra money for the rescue

You will need to find out cost of postage before the auction starts..................ooooooooooooooo this sounds good and peeps are getting interested now

This has actually come at a good time-Myself and my sister (twin-bet you didnt know that!!) have a job lot of "Your cat" magazines. Would people be interested in them do you think?

Sell them as one load perhaps?

Ooo Auctioning a tote off.. Nice one!

littleKitten_(alex) · « **Reply #36 on:** September 13, 2007, 13:55:33 PM »

Oh, exciting! I am sure we can beat last year's amount.

Hm, don't really have any unwanted goods to give away, so have to come up with something else. I am thinking a custom-made little tote bag with a picture of the winner's cat on it... Hm, I'd have to make one with Poppy or Monkey on it to show what it would look like... because I obviously couldn't make the actual bag until I knew who'd won and they'd sent me a picture...

Is that too complicated?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #35 on:** September 09, 2007, 19:43:36 PM »

Thats a good book

blackcat · « **Reply #34 on:** September 09, 2007, 19:29:12 PM »

OK. Just chuck him on the train to London, let me know which train, and i will haul him out when it stops at Chatham

I prefer a good coffee anyway

Gwen, he tells me he was reading The Partner by John Grisham. He's not that good making cuppas but does do really good coffee!

It's the fact I caught him reading under an umbrella in the rain that cracked me up.

He's basically a softee who cries at Operas and old films But he also padlocks the cheesecake and makes me beg for the key, and that's why I want to donate him. Perhaps I could offer him as 'collection only'?

I am sure that kind of thing is grounds for divorce,nothing comes inbetween a woman and her puddings

Unembcumbered

Thats very good.......................and just to remind everyone who is looking in , this thread is about the Purrs Chrissy Auction 2007

blackcat · « **Reply #29 on:** September 09, 2007, 18:16:15 PM »

hey PB I am unencumbered so you don't even have to take on in exchange if I make an offer

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #28 on:** September 09, 2007, 18:13:00 PM »

Oooooooooooooooooooo OH swapping on Purrs......this could be worth a headline or two

Gwen · « **Reply #27 on:** September 09, 2007, 18:08:32 PM »

I wanna know what he's reading? I'm a sucker for a good read and he looks well into that book that he didn't notice you taking his pic

If he has good taste in books and makes a mean cuppa then I'll trade you Pinkbear

blackcat · « **Reply #26 on:** September 09, 2007, 18:03:35 PM »

Well at least he appreciates a good book.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #25 on:** September 09, 2007, 17:58:29 PM »

Oh I love that picture

I dont think the cost of postage is the problem here, its more, would anyone make a bid

Will start looking to see what I have, bought loads of things for Rosie, that have just stayed in the cupboard or she has turned her nose up at it!

There may be a pleasant surprise for Jaffa this year, then, but my lips must remain sealed for now

wooo Hooo ... last year was so much fun ... I can't wait for this year's auction.

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #15 on:** September 06, 2007, 16:32:57 PM »

I can't believe it's nearly auction time again! I've barely recovered from last time. And Jaffa hasn't got over missing out on them catnip bubbles yet

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #14 on:** September 06, 2007, 13:24:00 PM »

I read the original version too

It was great fun last year with all the tactical bidding and I am already honing my skills for this year. I do so hope there will be at least one item for Susanne and me to fight about

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #13 on:** September 06, 2007, 02:01:39 AM »

They would be better off auctioned separately unless they were obviously a set.

I did buy a set of 3 cat dishes last year.....................at the last second

One of probs of say job lots is that if all items are all different, peeps may want one but not all.

At the end of the day its up to you, the owner to decide how to auction them but suspect they might make more money separately, but of course I could be so wrong

Auctions are so totally unpredictable and ours certainly follows the pattern!

Maybe nearer auction time you could send me a picture of them and I will give you my best but not necessarily right advice

Bazsmum · « **Reply #12 on:** September 06, 2007, 01:50:45 AM »

Right say for instance i had 5 different little cute piccie frames....could they be auctioned off as a job lot or would they make more money for Purrs being auctioned off seprately sp?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #11 on:** September 06, 2007, 01:36:14 AM »

Not sure what you mean Ruth, can you explain please

I have a christmas present from last year that I have been saving for the auction

We probably all do

....can there be job lots of items auctioned by seller/donater? (sp?)

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #9 on:** September 05, 2007, 23:29:28 PM »

You are right and the last minute bids were ummmmmmm scarey

Ann Clarke (Tabby cat) · « **Reply #8 on:** September 05, 2007, 23:21:48 PM »

It was great fun last year and some very frenzied bidding wars took place, especially near the end

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #7 on:** September 05, 2007, 22:52:27 PM »

So pleased you read it twice...............food for thought and a few months to contemplate

We allow most things if they can be posted at a reasonable cost.................cds, dvds included...............just say the cat got tired of listening/watching them

I have a christmas present from last year that I have been saving for the auction

blackcat · « **Reply #6 on:** September 05, 2007, 22:49:08 PM »

I read it twice now. I am thinking about what, if anything, I have to auction as I got rid of most of my stuff to come over here though the removalists wouldn;t agree with that statement

Have a dog kennel that Shadow refuses to use ..........

From the other thread....

Just wanted to add that we raised £1656.50 last year Would be fantastic to achieve that again this year or preferably even more

The boys have, very kindly, been ignoring lots of exciting toys so have said they would like to donate them to the Purrs Xmas auction - such kind generous souls that they are

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #4 on:** September 05, 2007, 22:40:48 PM »

Course they do!

The title helps though

Shameful you lot! Come on! Get your bits ready for auction
