Fundraiser is in ACTION! UPDATE 9/25/06

I previously posted a thread called "Hmm...". It was stating that I was starting a fundraiser for the Lil' Dirty Dozen" on Ebay. I have started it today. Many people have helped with this couse. I have about five people mailing me items that I will be able to post on Ebay to sell and use the money for the kittens. Others are sending me things that I can sell at a yard sale. And others are sending me things the kits need for themselves. I am so grateful to all of you for your help and support! I hope before I know it that these kits are better, altered, vaccinated, and adopted out so I can help the next bunch....I can't wait for my next mission!!

Here are some links to what I just posted on ebay. It is not much, but it is all I have found so far. I am adding more on today. Thank you everybody for your support.

That one is cute, isn't it? I am no pro. I just have luck on that I guess!! Thanks for the support.

Hi Tracy. Glad to see you on Ebay. May I suggest starting the bids a tiny bit higher, so that you can make more? I would start from 1-4 dollars. :) Good luck!!!

Folks, she also has these links down in the Marketplace, I think sales/selling of stuff belongs down there.

Since I don't know anything about E-Bay, could you please tell me what the prices mean beside the name of the object.

For example. Poodle Statue....$1.50 $57.81....

Sure, no prob. The fist price...$1.50 is the base price of the item. The second number is suppose to be shipping, but when I look at it, it says $5.97. You can calculate your shipping cost to see what it would cost for me to send it to you. I do not think the shipping is fifty seven dollars...or at least I hope not!! Thank you for looking.

Tracy, this is a copy of the list that I see when I click on "View all items" and as you can see, the shipping prices are quite high.

Considering the fact that ebay has outragiosly high shipping charges, I will work it out with anybody who bids and wins...if the shipping is less here, I will send a refund of the difference that was paid...I am not out to let other people loose money! I am so grateful that you all understand that I am doing this for a good cause. Thank you everybody!!

If someone else would place a "false bid" on this item:
http://cgi.ebay.com/DALMATION-PUPPY-...QQcmdZViewItem
it would drive the price up. After all, I am not looking to get it for CHEAP, I am trying to make a donation.
Bid UNDER $9.55 and you will still be outbid by me.

So, does anyone want to do that?

Very good. I truly would have felt bad to win a FUNDRAISER item for 50 cents. ;)

Tracy - I'm just wondering if you can put "Cat Rescue" or "Pet Rescue" in the title of each item. I know rescue groups used to do that one ebay because I have bought from some in the past. I'm not sure if ebay's rules have changed but it might help sales if you could. Search on ebay for Cat Rescue and see what you get. Just a suggestion.

Tracy it looks to be going pretty well and you have bids on nearly all the items, which is excellent. After all every penny counts (or cent I guess!)
I will try to find out in the next few days how much it will cost for me to ship the items I have to you.

Okay, thank you so much. I am glad people are bidding. I was worried that nobody would want to. Thanks again.

That's wonderful that you sold most of the items. You should do even better as the weather changes since there will be more traffic. I wish I could support you by sending or buying, but I need to put some items up for auction myself soon. Ashley has destroyed so much carpet that I need to put together the funds to cover the plywood that is now exposed over much of the main floor, and Beans will need padded landing places. But you have inspired me to get going on my own sales; I've been worrying about the what-ifs instead of getting on with it.

How is the yard sale project coming along?

Lizzie, I appreciate your thoughts....don't worry, if you hadn't sent the first donation, the kits wouldn't be here. Thank you so much! The yard sale project is in motion, I will be having one in the beginning of November. Take care of those fur-kids of yours! You are doing great! Good luck on ebay!
