Cor, I'm really enjoying the Auction - I didn't get round to getting involved in the Auction last year (naughty girl that I am!), so I'm making up for lost time, getting twitchy fingered on the items!  Lucky will be getting some auction prezzies for Christmas this year!    ;D

I'm sorry if this is a daft question - but I'm going to ask it anyway.

Do bids on all items end on Dec 1st, or do some finish sooner? If they all end on Dec 1st, it isn't really worth bidding until the last day...

it all ends on 1 december and the last 1/2 hour is a bit nuts!

I do sort of agree with your Slugsta .... however as Dawn pointed out the last ½ hour is complete madness with a flurry of final bids, many of the really popular items are won and lost in the last moments.  This is why it is a good idea to keep your eye on items you are really after during the whole two weeks this way you can decide if bidding has gone over the amount you are prepared to pay. ;)

The fun of the auction is in the bidding ad to see if you can sneak in and win something during the two weeks without someone else catching you.

Otherwise we may as well hold it on one day!

In the last half hour it is impossinle to keep track................really LOL

It's fab isn't it?!
I'm trying to maintain some level of control at the moment, but I fear I may succumb to a manic bidding frenzy very soon  :Crazy:
There's just sooooo many nice things! And it's such a good cause.
My entire family may get cat stuff for xmas...and most of them don't have cats  :rofl:

 :evillaugh: love it.

So many computers crash in the last 10 minutes of the Auction  :evillaugh: :hug:

Lots more items will be added to the list too if we go by the past Auctions.  Highlight of the year if you ask me.

 :rofl: great thread  ;D

and of course the more bids we get the more money we raise for those poor babes out there that aint as lucky as our own babes snugly warm in our homes.  That's the goal to help the stary cats as much as we can while having fun doing it  ;D ;D not to meant if we win want ya would like, ya get some great stuff too!  ;D  Some stuff can go real cheap so you can grab a great bargain!

Spread the word on the Auction to ya friends etc  anyone can join up to Purrs free and bid :)   Tweet about it, facebook about it but ya aint got long as it finishes on Sunday 1st Dec.

Good wasn't it?

If I had only been two seconds quicker with my last bid... :)

I wonder what the final total will be this year?
