Hope you are all waiting and getting ready for the Auction which starts next thursday at 1900. Keep you eyes on the Auction section just in case we post some last minute stuff and make sure you have read the instructions and know how it works.
Any questions just ask.
Hope we are gonna have loads of fun.
-
YAY can not wait ;D
-
What if you have two of the same item to sell ? Do I do two separate auctions ?
They are items you couldn't really use two of so selling them together would be a bit daft I think.
-
You sell em as two different items
If it was things that could go together say two cat dishes you could sell em together or separate :)
-
6 days to go till the
? ? ? ? ? AUCTION
-
Dosethe management kown whats going into the auction so they can let everyone else know lol
-
which management are you talking about mbll?
-
Whoever is dealing with the auction gill lol
-
Its me and Tan LOL, we do the auction :)
-
Ha ha yeah dare no management ere!! ?;D
Nope noone knows except for a few surprize auction items that we are gonna have up for auction by very generous peeps.
I been collecting all year for it so got loads to out up. Most are brand new toys my lads just won't play with. Fussy and to bloomin spolit!!
I love the witty way the auctioneers advertised their items last year and the bids against each other.
It was a laugh. Had to change me knickers every time!! ?;D
-
Can i ask can ya who are not mods or me change your post if ya made a mistake?? Can ya see the modify button??
-
I have changed mine through that button so should be OK , have also deleted a post of mine thro the mods buttons
-
Yeah i just realised gill ...just had a senior moment here lol? ::)
Er whos made a mistake tan?
-
Good that works then ?:D
I just wondered if peeps other than mods had the option shown to modify their post if they wanted to change it.
Can ya see the pics???
-
Me... mistake..... never ha ha lol
-
Tan even normal users can change their own posts if they want to, it puts up a little thing saying who it was edited by and what time at the bottom.
I added this bit later!
-
Can ya see the pics???
Where? ? ?? ? ?looks round for picslol
-
I can see all pictures cept on two threads, one is Kimberlys kittens and cant remember the other one
-
Ah good. Wanted everyone to have the option. :)
MBll those pics there......
Na only joking
Gillypoppet was havin trouble viewing the pics on the site. That cause i turned that option off for her and didn't realise!!
Turned it back on but i fink she said she still coundn't see em. Bet she wasn't looking at the pc screen!!! lol ?:P
-
Can anyone remember what last years auction raised?
-
I am just ignoring my partner in crime :)
Auction last year raise between 300-400 pounds but we ran it in a week with no preparation!!
sadly this year CC forum has gone the week before we run it but we have loads of lovely peeps here :)
-
Boo!! ;D ....See scared ya
Hope to raise more this year cause starting earlier and we more prepared .... um i think!!! ha ha
-
Ummmmmmmmmmmm did someone call? :)
-
Thats some ammount
-
Im sorry Im having a brainfogged day but how does the auction actually work??
love
Tab
-
I have nothing to auction as I give everythong to our Charity shop. I don't know if you will approve Tan but how about I give ?20 for Ron if 20 people send you ?1 each.
-
We need all those absconders from the other sites.? The more peeps bidding the better.? How can we get them to come over to us....even if it's only for the auction?
Ron needs all the money we can raise.
By the way, I WILL be offering a cat-proofing kit? ;D
Lots of love
Roz
-
Tab go into the auction section of this site and the instructions for the auction are there
-
Thank is a good Lot (that is what they are called isn't it) I have never been to an auction. I know someone who has just purchased one, they are wonderful things.
-
Has anyone e-mails all the CC members from the list we were given?
-
thats is wonderful and very generous Roz, i have a list of peeps on sams list but i need to extract all the email addys out and send em all an email.
iI emailed someone that i thought was amanda at the vets with the cat and was wrong person and i dont recognize peeps here cos names often have changed :(
Ela I am sure we would love to have your money and anyone else who wants to donate is also but would prefer not to have a condition attached.
However we need peeps to take part in the auction and Rozs auction item is not only stunning but worth a lot of money and I think we also have another high priced thing on offer but am waiting confirmation from the person concerned.
-
No Ela and its hard to do cos all the emails need extracting and I needed to double check that Sam list of receivers of the list did not include them
-
Hi Gill
Re: Amanda, I have already e-mailed her myself so please don't worry.? I can send you her e-mail address if you would like me to but we e-mail each other quite often, re the cats etc.? Amanda and 'Nell' were the reason I became involved with C.C. in the first place.....
Lots of love
Roz
-
I could easily extract and send e-mail to one the the rest cc, (as long as not too many are sent at a time). I once sent mail to every CP Branch who has e-mail and AOL cut me of as I had sent an unusual no of e-mails at once. I had then to convince them I was not a perv.
I am not quite sure I understand the last bit of your comment, I am being a bit think and I have a headache and that is my excuse. Or are you saying no need to send them to those who Sam sent list too if so does it matter if they are already on here? Oh! I am confusing muself even more now.
-
Ok Ela I understand .
Sam sent the list to everyone who asked for it but on the last issue of the list there were addressees and copy adressees and I dont know if the latter were the people on the list.
If they were everyone knows about this site cos the link was there but if not someone needs to email everyone on Sams list. I am kinda busy at the moment so if you have the time, Tan and I would be very grateful. If you are too busy I will try and do it over the weekend.
-
I will get on with it then, I will try to leave out those I know are already here.
-
Thanks very much Ela, Tan and I are very grateful :)
-
Hi ya folks ... can I help in any way with notifying everyone about the aution?
I don't want to patronise anyone but do youknow how to extract the email addresses easily from the list? If not I I have them all extracted already so I can forward that to soneone if needed.
-
Its working cos I have sent one to myself, so I will send a few at a time for the reason exlained earlier.
-
Ela,
I wouldn't wory about sending to people who are already on here ....just knock 'em out to everyone! It is for a good cause after all.
I found if you send themfrom hotmil you can put 50 address in the To: box and then another 50 in the cc box.
Hope this helps.
Another thought ... are we advertising the auction on thehovel in case there are any peep onthat site that might not have been CC member and would liek to help Ron out (I know they all know Ron over there)
-
All sent I just missed about 6 who I know for sure are on here,sorry everyone else who receives mail, but it saved time just to go through the list.
-
Well I haven't got it! I have got things that Tiggy doesn't use/play with but I'd feel awful giving her things away so will make a donation instead!
-
If I noticed a name and I knew for sure they had already registered then I did not bother to send mail. Mind you I did not look at too many names and just got on with it so many of you will receive the mail.
-
4 days to the
AUCTION
-
Get ya auction bits ready!!
It doesn't have to be catty bits (oooo owch!! ;)) but it would be funny if ya could make up a catty selling speal to go with it. Not complusry of course. Pics are a great way of selling ya item too.
It can be anything that's postable. So not the kitchem sink!! :evillaugh:
-
Cant you send a kitchen sink by DSL then? :rofl:
-
How is payment to be made? Would it be quicker with paypal as that way the money gets to the rescue quicker?
-
The auction money will be by paypal but also can be by other methods and all details will be given at the end of the auction.
The way the auction works is that every item will be finished for bidding at 1900 on the same day.................gosh forgotten date.......... and we will post all instructions about payment and sending out items then..........rushing to get closing date......... :-[ :-[ :-[
-
1900 on Mon 11 Dec................ :-[

Will summerize some vital things on this thread, when I have reread the instructions co s I wrote em weks ago now :rofl:
So I guess at just goneeeeeee 1130 this means GET READYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ;D
-
Ok here we go with minute instruction for full version see here
http://www.chaptanservices.com/purrs/index.php?topic=12.0
Everyone with items to be auctioned, please start a new thread under the Christmas Auction section (a separate new thread for each item). The subject of the thread needs to be the item name.
In the message box you need to give a clear description of the item, with a picture if possible (items sell better with a pic!), the start price if there is one and any other useful information!!
It is suggested that where it is not actually a cat related item you come up with a witty way of linking it to cats.
Remember dear peeps that the aim is to sell sell sell..........ummmmmm did I steal that..............and get as much money as possible.
Last year the auctioneers agreed very kindly to cover the postage and packing costs of the items to be sent to the winning bidders. The P&P will then be added to the winning bid amount when the auctions close and this total will be paid by the winning bidder direct to Ron to add to his funds.
Please could you post on each of your auction threads the cost of P&P of the item.
So be ready for action at 1500 ;D

Welllllllllllllllllll all wonderful bidders, if you havent seen the update tonight, you better go and look! Over £600 now and counting cos we have had more bids in before we got the summary up!
If you have any more things squirreled away that you can put on the auction , it would be so great to see a few new ones every day.
I think the last few mins of this auction on 7 11 Dec, could go ballistic :really:
-
Morning all!
Oooooh yes it gonna go bananas.
And then almost the entire six hundred squids will be donated by DaveD. :evillaugh:
-
i thought it ended on the 11th?

It does :evillaugh:
-
I only have one page on the auction site now
[attachment deleted by admin]

Yes i extended the amount on a page so it will all fit on one. Easier to see :)
-
Just testing :rofl:
-
Well peeps there is now over £700 in the kitty for Rons kitties :attention: :yesss: :really:
-
:Hello: just a quick message to all bidders.
:thanks: :thanks: :thanks: for all your bids and I do hope you are keeping your finances in good order :rofl: :rofl:
However seriously make sure you check the summary every so often and add up how much you have bid and remember where P&P is stated on the first post that also has to be added. Its easy to get carried away with all the wonderful things on offer but I would hate anyone to get themselves into probs at this time of the year :disguise:
Keep up your wonderful work auctioneers and bidders and if any one has any new items to go on, we will be delighted to see them. :xmas 3:
-
Can I ask how quickly after the auction ends we will be expected to pay up? ;D Reason I'm asking is - auction ends on 11th and I get paid on the 15th :evillaugh: If I can wait til after payday to cough up I can bid on more stuff :sneaky: ;) :evillaugh:
-
I know the auction finishes on Dec 11 but do we have a time? I've just realised I'm out that night and I want to be able to place my last minute bids so might want to cancel.
-
Yep Carol - 19:00 GMT.
-
Auction finishes at 1900 on 11 Dec.
Paying is done asap after auction finishes because we want to get money to Ron as quickly as possible but also that no goods will be despatched until money has been received and the last day for 1st class post for Christmas is 16 Dec, even second class may be dealyed at this time of year.
-
ok - I'd better sit on me hands for the next couple of weeks then!
-
:thanks:
-
Watch this space money and posting is under discussion, I got wrong posting dates anyway grrrrrrrrrrr, gotta go now be back tonight ;D
-
Ok right peeps listen up, this is the news from me and my partner Tan on payment and posting for the auction.
All money from winning bidders must be paid by close of play 15 Dec 06, so that should make Susanne happy ;D. As soon as we know the money has been received it will be posted in the auction section and peeps can then send out the items to their knew owners. Hopefully everyone will beat the last post for Christmas quite easily.
Sounds good? I :censored: Hope so :rofl:
All details of how to pay the money and where will be put up as the auction ends. Me and my mate Tan will work our lil fingers to the bone to make sure everything goes smoothly as it can :ahh:

It was very last minute thing last year so only did it for a week with not many knowing about it like this year. We got about 400 for Dawn i think.
