As I wasn't a member last year I just wanted to check about the items to sell. Do they actually have to be for cats, cat related or can be anything at all? Probably being a bit dim  :shy:,  but thought I'd ask! I don't think Fergus and Polly would be too impressed if I started posting off all their toys  :evillaugh:.

Thanks
Emma

Post by: Tiggy's Mum on November 21, 2007, 20:10:19 PM
Any items are welcome Em, so long as it's postable  ;D  If it's not cat related then if you can do a cat related write up just for fun then even better...  Here's an example of a non cat related item with my cat style write up from last year....

Is  your cat partial to a bit of Pussy Cat Dolls, Cat Stevens or Atomic Kitten?  If so then what better gift than this portable CD player?

This auction is for a Philips portable personal CD player, it also plays MP3 CD's but this is not the same thing as an MP3 player as that is where music is stored on a hard drive.  It is brand new in sealed packaging so could easily be given as an Xmas gift or kept for yourself! It retails for around £35 so PLEASE bid generously.

Specification:

Portable MP3-CD player
Wearable backlight LCD remote control with ID3-Tag
Philips neckband headphones
Enjoy MP3 and WMA playback
Plays CD, CD-R & CD-RW discs
Jogproof - 200 seconds Magic Electronic Skip Protection
Designed for urban action - Round, slim and compact
Enhanced bass performance - Digital Dynamic Bass Boost


Postage will be £1.70 First Class with proof of postage obtained (Royal Mail aim to deliver in one day but don't hold your breath!) or £2.38 for First Class recorded delivery, although this won't be any quicker it will be signed for so less chance of it going walkies before it gets to you as some of my mail has recently!
 
As soon as Ron confirms that he has received the dosh then I will drop everything and run to the post office to post this to you.

Ah that's good then. I'm sure I've got some bits that I keep meaning to put on ebay but never get round to. I'd rather the money went to a good cause anyway. Off to start a "Purrs Auction" pile now ........

I'm actually at a Christening on Sunday afternoon, so won't be able to put anything on until the evening or even the next day, hope this will be ok????

That's great,  :thanks: Em.  The items don't have to start on Sunday, it's best to get them in as soon as poss so that more people get a chance to bid on them  though.

This is the place to ask questions cc please, not on the item threads.

If you scroll to top or bottom of the Auction section you will find all the help threads and they are clearly titled.
