You gals forgot how to use yer bookmarks then?

Forgotten? What makes you think I've ever known

I only remembered them today!

Bookmark the page on the thread you are bidding on, then you dont need to be triple checking the sect to find what your bidding on!

On the other hand of course some will be really organized and be able to find them again

I wish! - takes me ages to plough through all the things I want already.

Then make life easy for yourself Gillian and forget the shabby chic items

Did I say that there will not be another total until Sunday night?

Well if i didnt I have now

I notice signs that some are moving in for the kill now and they maybe right cos the list of items is so long, things tend to hide

On the other hand of course some will be really organized and be able to find them again

Threats are not a good thing for auctions, may just be a language thing LOL, I hope so and havent checked the posts yet.

We do not want posts on the auction thread that are not items fro bidding and we do not want posts on any item thread that does not have a bid unless done my me, Hannah or Tan tonight.

Its very important now coming to the llast 3 days of bidding that we keep bids at the forefront and apart from the funnies that come with bids, no other posts.

The aim is to collect as much money for Sunny Harbour as we can and end up with a great last day.

On Sunday night the night staff will be completely changing the order of every thread ready for monday and also that will be the next total, so we roll into monday knowing how much we have and with a clean slate of bids.

Happy bidding

Oh good, for once I managed to stay withing the rules without knowing it! Just making threats here me!

So I'm threatening again. I have today taken a very cute little video clip of Chilli grooming Dave but you lot ain't getting to clap eyes on it until you start bidding on the very exclusive, very desirable, Dave cards!

Don't make me deprive everyone now!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #150 on:** December 04, 2009, 23:07:19 PM »

This is a message for everyone, please do not bump threads, the only way they will be bumped is at night time when the night staff do just that. If everyone bumps threads then it will just be chaotic , a bit like x factor judging!

The only other way of moving a thread up is bidding on it, if you want to chat about it please do it in here or on one of the other auction threads, cos there are loads lurking around.

Its very hard for night staff to do their job if threads are artificially bumped and we want all items to get the best bids they can

When you first put them on I opened one of the links and it froze on my puter

this puter I'm only using temp and no protection on so I didn't try again... but I did try, I'll try again later today

Feline Costumier · « **Reply #148 on:** December 03, 2009, 23:27:30 PM »

Dave is rather miffed his very generous offer of his gorgeous face on an EXCLUSIVE card has had not one bite. He says I'm not to post any more pics until people bid

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #147 on:** December 03, 2009, 22:57:52 PM »

He wants one that I want ......sigh

And everybody else wants the rest

I think Riley needs to sell you

We could arrange a 'buy it now' before the auction if you like

Janeyk · « **Reply #130 on:** November 14, 2009, 13:24:58 PM »

I'll bid!!

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #129 on:** November 14, 2009, 13:10:04 PM »

Is it wrong to auction live animals?

I'm thinking of including Riley in one of the lots after he decided to chew threw the packaging and start eating a pastry case that I was foolish enough to leave on the work surface

I thought I had nothing to auction after the big clearout last year but I've managed to find a few little things

maryas · « **Reply #126 on:** November 12, 2009, 10:47:52 AM »

I thought I had all mine ready but I've found some more stuff so I'll be taking pics and paying a visit to the post office AGAIN

hannah (weeny) · « **Reply #125 on:** November 11, 2009, 22:17:09 PM »

8 - 8 items. cant count apparently.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #124 on:** November 11, 2009, 22:16:09 PM »

This all sounding sooooo exciting

hannah (weeny) · « **Reply #123 on:** November 11, 2009, 22:13:26 PM »

woohoo - have photo'd 7 items that will (hopefully!) be selling. is rather exciting!!! hope you guys like what i've found for you all!

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #122 on:** November 11, 2009, 21:44:27 PM »

Purrdy it sounds alot more complicated than it really is. Once it gets going you'll see how it works. It's all great fun and there are usually lots of bidding wars. As Gill says it gets frantic and highly addictive and without giving away too much I know there are some really lovely auction items

Don't panic if you miss the first day or so ... as new items can be added at any time during the auction but obviously the longer the item is up the more bids it will receive.

Liz · « **Reply #121 on:** November 11, 2009, 21:18:40 PM »

The Mugs are mine though!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #120 on:** November 11, 2009, 20:45:03 PM »

Yes thats about right LOL

You will see when it starts exactly how crazy it is.

THis year the auction is for Sunny Harbour one of our 4 independent rescues so although initially the money comes to Purrs, its then block transferred to Sunny Harbour up to £2000, anything above this will be divided among the three other rescues although one of them is dontaing their share to Sunny Harbour.

If you are an auctioneer you take a photo of the item and once the auction is open you post your item with pic and description. Bidding lasts for just over 2 weeks and then we slam the doors at 1900 precisely by the Purrs clock and and the highest bidder on each wins.

Then the auction staff will formally tell each winning bidder what they have got and how much and we say what to do for auctioneers and winners, how to send the money will be there and all other details.

The p&p is paid by the auctioneer but we like it to be shown in the post for the item cos then the winning bidder alsompays the postage and that gives a bit more for the auction .

All clear

I hope so
