Think the title says it all ;D ;D
You cant chat on any other thread in here so this is the place for all ya chattin and questions about our 2011 Auction.
Chat away and if ya need any help on anything just holla ;D
-
Chat chat chat :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Its always a great wonderfest and hope this year will be as good as all the others have been ;D ;D
-
Here is chatting, so come and chat and read Instructions and ask your questions ;D ;D ;D
-
Well the boys have been saving their pocket money all year and have bought some things to go in the auction, I expect there'll be some
foot paw stamping closer to the time as they will want to keep some of the things but I will remain firm and remind them of all the cats and kittens who don't have a forever home who they will be helping :)
-
Just a sneaky little tease ... we have had some lovely commercial donations again .... including some beautiful jewellery, things for cats to eat, play with, sleep in (not just the carboard boxes!! :rofl:), wear and scratch till their little hearts content and of course what would the xmas aution be without the usual selection of ........ MUGS!!!!! :rofl: and much more besides.
We have some really lovely items this year from a variety of donors including everyones favouite ...Simon's Cat :Luv2:
So dig deep peeps and lets make the 2011 auction another great success.
-
Ahhhhhhhhhh mrrrrrrroew just checkin this out for my meowmy cos she worried that only moderators can see this but I can too so it must be OK :wow:
I likes the Auction cos there could be something in it for me ;D
Misa
-
Be afraid peeps - be very afraid. :shify: This year I will be able to bid on things for the cats as well as the general stuff. :sneaky:
My two have already given me a wish list and at the top is anything edible, then a new bed - they don't even have one between them. :-[
They'd also like anything edible, some toys, and errrm anything edible. Are there any edible toys? Or edible beds? Consider them mine if there are mine if there are. :rofl:
............... and I might even be able to afford the odd mug or two, or three... :evillaugh:
-
This will be my first auction with Purrs (What's that? You thought I'd be older...)
So let me see... :reading 2:
I have an item suitable for the auction, brand new, cat related, mine to donate etc etc
I take it's :pic: work out the postage, post it on the thread not before the start date, and wait for the bids to come in?
The next bit I don't quite get because I'm a bit slow first thing in the morning :good morning 2:
At what point does bidding end and how do I know who won and where to post the item?
-
If I remember correctly the bidding continues until the end of the auction as a whole (can't remember the date and time) then the winning bidder will PM you with their address and you post the item/s off when receipt of payment has been confirmed by the mods.
-
:Crazy: oow exciting -my little people like new toys and food and me likes pretty things :sneaky: :innocent:
can't wait
-
ooh I was going to ask for a teaser! nothing like a bit of anticipation to get things started!!
-
The Mugs is mine due some junior terrorist and puppy damage :innocent: :shify: :shocked:
The Clan will be having a look to see what they don't need and may be giving some of their own things for auction and will see what else we can get ;D
-
Look out, I'm back! And my spending power may just be better than ever, muawahahahahahahaha!
What dates is it running this year?

Sheilrose it's all explained on here ... http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,39381.0.html
Don't worry once things get going it'll become clear how it all works :)
-
The auction will be running 20th November until 4th December :wow:
-
Yes all explained in the Instructions which you should be able to see now and the key part of the bidding is the 1p here and there LOL because bids last for the whole time of the auction and cease immediately at the declared time according to the Purrs clock.
At that point bids stop even if they are 1 second late and will not count.
Dont worry there will be reminders and allsorts during the auction ;D
From then on an army of auction team peeps will spend the next few hours posting on every thread saying who the winner is for each item and what to do for the winning bidder and the auctioneer and how to move da Squids :evillaugh:
Last year we had all the money in or in post in 24 hours which was brilliant, so it meant that although items were still being packaged and sprinted to the post office, Tan could transfer the money to the Rescue before Christmas.
Tan is totally in charge of the money side and I will be doing the spreadsheet to keep track of things during the auction and then Tan will use this to keep track of the money.
We still need late night volunteers to learn how to do the nightly round up and if you are interested I am the teacher, so please contact me if you are interested. Its a totally vital part of the auction and goes unnoticed by the rest but soooooooooo important to bring in the money.
I cant do it any more due to health problems but anyone who can help will be welcomed.
Sam has brought in the commercial givers and its a real team effort now as the auction is so big and I know so many Purrs members are new but its a great fun occasion and hope as many as possible will get involved in the madness :innocent:
-
The boys' pocket money auction goodies arrived today... lets hope there are lots of bidders with female cats as you couldn'y choose the colour on most items and there's a high proportion of PINK stuff :evillaugh:
-
Lupin likes pink cos it goes with his carrier ;D ;D
-
The boys are in touch with their feminine side too and happily sleep in their PINK hut :naughty:

-
Dave is rather partial to pink too, so much so that when I changed a cushion on a chair from a pink one to a turquoise one he stopped sleeping on it! :evillaugh:
-
Oh for Pete's sake............ not another mug fight :sigh:
S'pose I best get in training :sneaky:

-
I think I had 8 windows open last year Carol :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy:. I nearly passed out with the excitement ;D
-
The year before last (or was it the year before that, doesn't time fly :Crazy:) my new computer completely crashed under the strain and I had to drag the old one out from the junk cupboard and hurriedly plug it all in with minutes to go... now THAT was stressful :evillaugh:
-
Laptop and desk top and multiple windows will be open here :evillaugh:
-
I've a couple of things to list when the time comes but as usual would be grateful for someone to put the photos on for me!
-

-
Just giving this another heeveho to the top, its the most important 2 weeks of Purrs year.
Hope you have loads of stuff to auction and have your piggy banks ready ;D ;D
-
Well i'm just back from the post office with another two packets of wonderful goddies for the auction ...... did I mention that SIMON'S CAT have donated again this year .... plus we have some stunning pieces of art, gorgeous cat collars, cat beds and and the most wonderful MUG for the mad mug ladies to scrap over.
Only 8 days to go til the madness begins!!!!!
-
I haven't got my Simon's Cat pocket diary yet .......... and Boris needs a nice safe collar ........ oh dear and then there's that mug :scared: ...... :donate2:
-
No Diary this year from Simon's cat .... but something equally as gorgeous ;)
-
I think it was all Simon's cat stuff I won in the auction last year, Callenders/ book's etc
Unfortunately with the Loss of Our Wee Furbabe Olivia :'( I haven't read the book or put up any Calenders :(
I will also be away working when the auction start's and am not due home till the 5th :(
But I will still send in a Donation tho ;)
-
Stuart you have all night to bid on things that you don't need, but there will be Mugs and stuff and one can never have enough Mugs :evillaugh:
-
There are some really nice art pieces this year Stu .... some lovely limited prints and quirky pieces.
-

You don't know what you've been missing! :evillaugh: There's looooooads of fantastic items this year that have been donated by cat loving companies - thanks to Sam, the auction campaign manager* (*I think I just made that title up :naughty:). Plus we tend to have lots of fab items donated by Purrs members themselves and hopefully this year will be no different so you'll be spoilt for choice :wow:
It's really simple, if you're bidding for stuff you post on the thread of the item you want to win what your bid is but it's not like ebay, don't go in with your maximum bid first as the bidding is over two weeks so peole tend to eek their bids up a bit at a time :naughty: the auction closes on the strike of 8pm Sunday December 4th so whoever has posted the last bid on the thread before that time wins - simples ;D
Here's an example of an item last year so you can see how it works http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,35372
-
My first Auction too. Looking forward to seeing what's on! :)
-
As Helen mentioned the auction runs over 2 weeks and part of the fun is getting into the online bidding battles :evillaugh: .... we actively welcome small increment bids as this is all part of the fun and frolics that make the auction such a great event.
Only 6 days to go ...... OMG so much to do still.
-
thanks tiggys mum i will look forward to it yayyyy !!! :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks:
-
It was my first auction last year and I had so much fun and actually managed to bag a couple of things as well ;D
This year I am under instructions from the boys to do better :rofl:
-
Do items have to be cat related?
I have a very lovely Lulu Guiness handbag that somebody very sweetly bought me but it just isn't me so I have never used it... I do rucksacks, not handbags...
I suppose I could concoct some link to cats as it has a dachshund on it..
Jo
-
Yes anything that can be posted can be auctioned and we do like a cat linked story LOL, sad about the dashound though lol, had it been a cat.................................sigh
-
i'd over look a dog for a lulu guiness I have to say!! (and I bet Sue would as well lol!)
-
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh well I dont do handbags either, I do cars :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

SO excited :evillaugh:
-

-
It starts at
8pm whoops 3pm today :wow: It's on for two weeks though so sneaky small bids are the way to go, otherwise a £5 item will end up costing £500 by the time the auction ends :evillaugh:

All the action will be in this board - http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/board,136.0.html
The Wonderful gang at Cov Cats Group rescue do such a wonderful job and care so much for many cats in need, the more we can raise for them the better...... Here comes my Sir Bob act back!! :rofl: ......The more we can list for auction for peeps to bid on , the more peeps see stuff they like and bid on em ... the more we make for the needy ones at Cov Cats ;D :donate:
Times are hard for all of us so i want to thank yo so much all in advance for any amounts bided or items you can donate to the auction to help the cats that are not so lucky as our own. :hug: :hug: :hug:
If you have any questions on how to pop up auction items you have to auction or any other questions please don't hesitate to ask on this thread.
Happy Auctioning and Biding ;D ;D ;D

Mary

Sly has spotted the box of Dreamies on the auction but he hasn't twigged it's me who has donated them :heeee heeee:
Hope he doesn't start bidding on them (I've got another box with his name on for Kissmas), he's been saving his pennies for ayjis
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Can't believe all the great stuff on there. I just hope I (or Sly da sly) win something! :wow:
-
Bonnie wants to tell Sly you're a bad mum but I persuaded her that you are making money for the puddy cats that need it more than our lot ;) :rofl:
Mary
-

Mary
Please tell Bonnie I've got another box of dweemies for Sly - he mustn't know about the box on the auction (I've told him we can't afford it so he's bidding on something else just now with his pocket money) or he'll be impossible to live with :innocent:
-
:rofl: :rofl:
I told her you was only a bit bad cos you had a box hidden for Christmas ;)

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: If I thought he'd fetch in some cash I'd auction my OH for a day's slavery, but then who'd pay for the priviledge of hoovering around his feet and feeding him while he trawls e-bay and watches footie all week-end :naughty:
The price I pay for his longsuffering of my cat habit I suppose...sigh ;)
-
Was it Dawn or maybe Kirst that auctioned her OH for a day's slavery one year? I know someone did :shify:
You wouldn't want mine.... Think he must be your OH's twin Sheila :innocent:

Anyone got a snuggle heat pad fir micriwave they not using anymore ?

Anyone got a snuggle heat pad fir micriwave they not using anymore ?
I have one Tan -but am using it for a little stay old lady, who is basically living in the little cat house on my drive. It is REALLY good stay warm for her all night.
She is in such a state the poor baby, but I cannot bring her in because of my 3, as you know they have no conntact with other cats just each other.
-
I just bought 3 brand new ones from Amazon for my oldies Christmas presents - literally have just arrived. What are you thinking Tan?
-
Is that the best place to get them from hun :). I am going to get one for a cat that I am looking after outside. He is owned but not good owners :( he's not neutered and about 2 years old lovely boy but scared . They have a dig as well and he doesn't like to go home at all so is basically living rough :( they won't hand him over to cp and keep saying they will get him done.
I put out my outside cat shed for him with a Cosy cave bed and he is in that a lot. But worried its getting colder so want to get a snuggle heat pad and those flackbed in auction things sound good too :)
I wondered if anyone had a heat pad they no longer use or want and I can bid for it in auction :)
-
Tan I bought mine on ebay £19 incl posting
-
how will i know how much the P/P is, we wont know till they are posted ????
-
if you can weigh it with kitchen scales or something the royal mail has a cost list by weight on line Ron
-
P&P is always the best estimate that the bidder pays, its not an amount that comes back to the auctioneer as the auction cant work like that.
Its always been like this since the very first auction ummmmmmm 6 years ago or is that 7!
Its clearly explained in the Auction instructions which is one of the first posts on the auction thread. There is even a guide to weights and costs.
The P&P goes into the auction final total which goes to the rescue.
-
I always wrap my stuff up and take the packages to the post office and say I want to weigh but not send just yet and I write the price on each package then take them all back at end of auction. Sometimes I have an odd stamp or 2 at home that I can use.
This year I've not had time and just guessed and if it's more for me it doesn't matter.
Mary
-
Have missed most of the auction this year as been so busy with work and CP stuff But am here for the last weekend yay!!! Just off to have a look at what's on offer.
-
I spent hours going through it all last night Ann. Hope you aren't gonna undo all my good work :shify:
-
I will be posting later about the auction end........... :( and what happens and stuff, I hope most of your questions will be answered LOL
Just one point about Feed a Cat, Name a Cat and Selling our Bodies threads, payment will be made at the end of the auction same as for any other bid ;D ;D
Rock on everyone, the auction is doing really well :thanks: :thanks:
-
What time does the auction end please-cant find it ,but probably on here somewhere.
-

-
I am just off to check cos the bidding tonight is Super Saturday and am getting worried I have got my days mixed up :evillaugh: :evillaugh:

Was pipped at the post for the windowsill mat that I really wanted cos I can't see the time on the site and my clock on the pc was wrong. Have promised the babes I'll buy them one anyway. Got some other things I was after tho, I'd forgotten how stressful it gets but great fun. Hopefully lots of dosh raised.
Right off for something to eat now!

Lu and Riley I hope you realise what a truly wonderful mum you`ve got. Helen :thanks: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Am amazed you went through that on an empty stomach Ann :shocked:
I'm a complete bag of nerves and need another drink. I hope Nickynoo will forgive me in the fullness of time :-[ but the Chitty Nora bag and the artist portrait were my top two must haves. I've already shown the state of my 20 year old cat carrier bag and dearly would love a portrait of my darling angel Fred who passed away in July.
Seems I've come away with quite a haul :wow: despite last minute panic measuring Boris neck to check that the Sherpa collar will fit him :evillaugh:
Fabulous auction as always. Well done everyone

OMG - just looked out of the window and there is at least an inch of snow on my car -amazing what happens while you are on the Aucyion :rofl:
Mary
-
Nuggie you are soooooooooooo sweet :hug: :hug:
Wow Mary, I hope we dont have any!
-
We had a little sleet earlier followed by heavy hail and now its thunder and lightning, amazing what an auction can cause :rofl:
-
:rofl: :rofl:
I must look out the window!
-
and the internet didn't go down!!! coor blimey Gov :rofl: :rofl:
No snow ere. bit chilli on my little toe though. :evillaugh:
-
Please note that SS done means spreadsheet done and is for me and Tan ;D
-
Are we having a list of who got what just not sure what the heck I bought :shocked:
-
I was the same Liz, I just went through all the auction threads - hopefully didn't miss anything!
-
Are we having a list of who got what just not sure what the heck I bought :shocked:
I think so. I think I know what I won but might have missed something, so hanging on a bit. Fairly sure I read somewhere there'd be a list, but could have misinterpreted it.
-
Fairly sure there will be, I'm gonna hold off on paying just in case as bound to have missed something :doh:
-
When the spreadsheet is finished sometime tonight there will be a list as usual.
Anyone who is paying by Paypal who wants to add a bit extra to cover the charges is very welcome :shify: :shify:
Please do not pay until the list is up cos I know I havent found all mine yet and I am involved the bloomin spread sheet.
Just incase people havent seen, ss done, is for me and Tan LOL
Peggy C will you please contact Tan as a matter of urgency.
I think that covers all questions and would be grateful for your patience.
-
How much are the fees? Just so we know how much to add. Sorry I have no idea about these things. :-[
-
I was hoping someone wouldnt ask lol cos I dont know either.................oops I think its in the auction instructions........off to look
-
Not sure but I think it's 10%. It will probably tell you on your Paypal Account Q and A section.
Mary
-
no its not mary
Its a set fee depending on the amount I think plus 3.85% roughly.
I have bloomin seen it somewhere recently but dont know where, surely some one uses Paypal??
If any one knows please post here cos I am desperately trying to finish the spread sheet so Tan can post a list tonight and a total can be posted.
NO money is supposed to be sent until the list is posted :shify: :shify:
-
Paypal charges 3.4% plus 20p per transaction, if people were kind enough to add a little extra then even more dosh goes to the needy cats.
Obviously nobody is expected to,it's completely optional - people have been so generous already :)
-
Thanks Helen and thats why we like all paypal bids from the same person to be don together ;D
The only exciting thing about the spreadsheet at this time of night and after about 8 hrs work is that I can tell you the total is looking rather good ;) ;)
-
I was just researching the Paypal thingy (thats the technical term :rofl: ) when its already been answered - people are too quick for me! lol
But I think the percentage does go down depending on the amount the account has received for Purchase Payments into an account within the month?
(Thats how I read it anyways lol)
Here's the link so the Admin will have an idea what the fee's may be ;D (or incase I read it wrong :doh: :rofl: )

:Oi: :mad2: :brick: :grrrrrr:
I think that just about sums it up >:(
Just spent ages preparing and inputting all the info for Royal Mail online postage, got to checkout, put my card details in... poof :-: Got an error message, no big deal, all my labels should still be there and I can just checkout again? Wrong :Oi: :mad2: :brick: :grrrrrr:
-
Oooh no!! Hope it won't take too long to get them back.
I think Ive been spending too much time on here - I'm really excited about receiving my box of cat poop!
-

I give up, I'm going to have to do it the traditional way and queue up pay at the Post Office :tired: If you do online postage you can just drop off at the sorting office with no queuing/faffing. Oh well, it's all for a good cause I spose :naughty:
Who is going to be the lucky receipient of the poop? :evillaugh:
-
That would be my brother. Mwahahahaha! :evillaugh:
-
Shame there wasn't any toilet roll in the Auction to go with it like last year :evillaugh: :rofl:
Mary

Helen Hun the bloomin royal mail have decided to implement a new system so close to Xmas and the whole online postage and smart stamp which is what I use for shop went down for 3 days last week and it's been awful since. The new system can't cope with the amount of people using it and I am continuously get the server busy error grrrr!!
Awful at this time and si many orders :(
Anyhoo
I am just updating our list with payments and will be posting on threads tomorrow which items are paid and can be posted off :)
Thanks do much xxx

Don't rush Tan .... I've still got to wrap all these bloomin things up! lol. That's the trouble with having so many things you can't wrap anything till the end. Thank god I finish early on Fridat ... so guess what I'll be doing Friday night! woo hoo.
-
Will there be a list of each person's total to pay or should we just add this up ourselves and pay? I'm a newbie to this and am a bit confused if I should pay or wait!!
-

This list is on this thread. Reply #20 .... it's a pdf attachment http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,39851.0.html
-
Here is the list as a pdf attachment for thos that missed it ......
Thanks Sam ;D
A note for me and Tan the pdf and ss have an error against funkiechicken and first item price should be £13 plus £3, not a total of £19.
If anyone else finds and error please let us know :thanks:
-
Oh I never saw that list! Thank you and at least my own addition was correct :)

TBH Helen, a word of caution to those that want to risk walking past the post office queues to the "online drop off" point. I was in the queue on Monday morning. Main High St post office and waiting in the street for 10 mins before I reached the doors. Got served about 15 mins later.
I hardly dare describe the looks that peeps got as they walked past the queue to go inside :shocked: Am amazed they didn't turn to stone on the spot :evillaugh: Chap behind me shouted out more than once... "Where the hell does SHE think SHE's going" :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:
Lots of Christmas spirit........ not!
-
We're lucky - our wee village post office never has more than a two person queue but then she does spend ages chatting to each pensioner (which is nice for them) while you have to eye up the vanilla slices and cream buns and drooling all the way to the counter!
-
Gonna post this on chatting thread too.
I dont know if I will finish posting all payments tonight so to short cut to allow goods to be sent, the following have paid for their Items:
Me.....lol
Rosella

There are a couple of problems of identification that need to be sorted, which I am pming people about
-
Have just sent my payment via Paypal :)
-
Yup, me too, bank confirms money went out on 7th inst (love that "inst" thingy - what does it mean again?)
Just need the banks to talk to each other then the country will be saved YEAAAAAY! (Forgive me, I know not wot I dooo)
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Yogi payed was a mistake , so having to change the threads, sorry.
I hope your bank transfer turns up tomorrow Sheila :hug:
-
I'm the same - the money has gone from my account so where is it now? Someone must have it or is it floating around in the ether?
-
Yours was in yesterday souffle as I suspected but it wasnt coloured up on the spread sheet ;D ;D
-

Yours is in hun
-
Oh thank you Gill - now I can relax :)
-
Some banks take 3 days for newly set up payee transfers then after paying them again us within 2 hrs or less with faster payments. So I am hoping shelia's is in tomorrow all account numbers correctly used :)
-
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I understand what you meant now Tan :doh:
-
There are two payments into PayPal that I don't know the purrs member name for but do recognise the names one is for £10 and one for £35
Can ya pm me if you paid either if those amounts via PayPal :) x x
-
I thought I knew who the £35 is from and just waiting a further reply
-
Ok brill :)

-

-
Yogi payed was a mistake , so having to change the threads, sorry.
Is that still the case Gill? Yogibear has won one of my items and says payment was made by Paypal on Monday so should have cleared by now
-
No Carol its now the case that we have identified Yogis payment and threads will be changed back to money received tomorrow. ;D
-
Hellooo! I paid £35 via Paypal...? :shify:
I put a note (in the note box :rofl: ) but just incase?
:hug:
-
Actually i dont think it is me, cos Gill noted that my payment was there on my winning bid thread....I really must engage my brain before, either my mouth of my fingers take over :shify: :rofl:
-
Yes :rofl: :rofl:
It would have helped if I had read this post rather than just the one before and started searching the spreadsheet :-[
-
oooo no!! :tired:
I've done nothing but cause you work this week Gill!! :doh:
Sorry! :Luv2:

I do not know the state of the money coming in but have one person who has not replied to my pm about payment and I really need a reply as have not heard from Tan all week. Anyone who has not paid please do so immediately.
Please will everybody advise on their threads when items have been received cos the post is now slowing up and at least one item was posted on 10 Dec and not yet received.
As you will see from my movimg of the threads today many of the outstanding items to be sent are all from one source :shify: :shify: I hope they are in the post but do not know.
Monday is the last post where things should be received by Christmas so if you havent sent something, now is the time to rush ;D ;D
-
I hope all is well with Tan.

Please see the total thread :shify: :shify: ;D Just great news. :wow:
I dont know if I will have time to update threads tonight but just to say all money is now accounted for and every item can be sent out ;D ;D
Tan has all her items for you parcelled and they will be sent out on Monday ;D
The auction is now more or less complete if everything goes out on Monday then there is a chance that things should be received for Christmas.
I would be very greatful if you will post on threads when things are sent and received, so I can formally lock every thread.
I am just about to post a new thread in the auction among friends ;D

I'm back again ;D and just popping on to say :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: so much to all you wonderful peeps :hug: :hug: :hug:
