New TARDIS / Auctions

February 10, 2010 Robin Leave a comment

The auctions sit just shy of £30 at the moment, but with the usual hoard of watchers so while they haven’t taken off like at the weekend, I am sure it will rise in time. 

New TARDIS in from Nick Brimble (Emmerdale, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves : Little John), thanks Nick!

nice photo people…

February 9, 2010 Robin Leave a comment

Well, as predicted my photo company failed to get back to me yesterday, but luck was on my side as when I phoned in today I got the very supervisor who would have called me (had she been asked to in the first place by the fool I spoke to last week).   I shall forgive them in this case as they have now instigated a full refund (please let that arrive in my accout soon) and offered me a discount should I choose to use their services again.  We’ll see if I do, but depending on the discount, it might be worth a shout.

Auctions are online and picking up interest… quite as fast as the last round, but lets be fair I don’t think that’s a common occurence.  Hopefully add another three figure sum to the kitty this week.  The money from Paypal is finally transferring through, so I shall be phoning those lovely people at The Prostate Cancer Charity by the end of this week with any luck. 

Those who bought items and paid yesterday will have them on way today, as I am just about to go and do some serious packaging of things.  Those who haven’t… pay up ;)

More Auctions Online NOW

February 9, 2010 Robin Leave a comment

There’s not quite 90, but right now there are 65 auctions online after a mental two hour listing spree which has left my hands stuck in typing mode even when I step away from the computer.  Items range from signed Dr Who cards to doodles, photo’s and other assorted items up for grabs.  Go check a look HERE to see what is up for grabs.

In the meantime, the best ever total I have raised since I started eBay fundraising SIX years ago has continued with the total now @ £472.73 thanks to a couple of second chance offers being taken up.  Thanks to those buyers :)

Anyways, go have a wee look at what’s available, and I will pop back with an update tomorrow :)

Final Tally for the Day

February 8, 2010 Robin Leave a comment

Well, I have just finished sending out the invoices for today, as the final auctions finished in the last 20 minutes, and the rather amazing amount raised this time round (pre-fees etc) is a brilliant £447.39.  I still have a few second chance offers out there on items, so hopefully some of them will be taken up as well (if you’re one of these buyers, come on now… lets have be having ya! hehe)  (Seriously, they are very good deals for your items :)

eBay are making a mint from me today (I always hate paying these fees but needs must when it comes to my form of fundraising) as I have just paid them £45 to cover todays sales fees.  Even when you take into account the money lost through Paypal though, it will still be a cracking addition to the totals today.  Thanks to everyone who has placed a bid or looked at an item over the weekend :)

In the meantime, I am off to do the only sensible thing, the night is still young, so I am going to get some more auctions online before the end of the evening is spent packing things up for posting, depending on how fast people pay for things.

£400+

February 8, 2010 Robin Leave a comment

Wow, I seriously cannot believe that!  There are still six auctions live (The Dr Who cards which finish in an hour or so) but today’s total has already soared past the £400 mark.  Of course, its not really that much, once eBay take their share and Paypal dent it, but still… its the best single day figure I have ever had.  Right, off to the shops then time to get another 90 odd items up for sale :)

Thanks to everyone who bought something today :)

Past £300 as the auctions begin to end.

February 8, 2010 Robin Leave a comment

The masses of auctions online today have now started to finish, with the overall total (rising constantly still) sitting at around the £325 mark.  There’s still plenty of time to get your bids in for over 80 items, with a few still to garner any bids, so get on down and have a wee looksee :)   In the meantime, the more ££ the merrier for the totals :)

How High Can They Go?

February 8, 2010 Robin Leave a comment

This morning’s check on the auction status shows another brilliant rise… currently sitting at £279.90 … bring on the £300 mark and beyond.  The first auction ending isn’t for another five hours, so plenty of time for them to kick up even higher.  It goes without saying that I am delighted at how well this round of auctions is going (oh, I just said it didn’t I?  Woops)

Soaring…

February 8, 2010 Robin Leave a comment

Well, those new auctions didn’t make it online today (as you have no doubt noticed yourself) as I got tied up with numerous other things and it was too late to list before I noticed what time it was.  I will try and get some more online in the next 48 hours.

Those auctions which are online, those 94 which have been online since Friday are currently soaring to all new levels of sales, with the current total for those items £218.59.  I’m really quite chuffed at the total, especially as it is another 20 hours or so until most of them end.  Hopefully they will rise even further through the course of tomorrow.

In the meantime, I am currently getting some more items ready for sending out tomorrow, with loads of photo’s and Dr Who cards heading out to get signed for auction.  Fingers crossed they arrive back soon!!

So what are you guys waiting for, why not go visit the auctions and help them rise even higher.

Final Update of the Day…

February 7, 2010 Robin Leave a comment

…well it is nearly midnight after all.  :)

Those auctions will come tomorrow, I got a little bit distracted preparing stuff for sending out for signing this week.  Tomorrow morning and afternoon will see numerous additions to the live auction schedules.

In the meantime, those live auctions have now reached the £134 mark, sorry £141 as I check again in the middle of typing this, obviously I am delighted at the continued rise in the money raised from the auctions.  Hopefully, this will continue to be the trend through tomorrow.

Yes, I know I am posting a lot today but…

February 6, 2010 Robin Leave a comment

…auctions have just soared past the £100 mark!  I think this is possibly the first time I have seen that happen within 24 hours of listing, so pretty chuffed.  LOTS of watchers, even more than earlier, so lets keep the bidding going please :)
