I've had a few questions about the auction:
- You can start a watch list...
- If you bid on an item, you'll receive updates....
- Everything starts at $1.00. So, if there's something you're interested in -- bid $1 -- and you'll get notices if an when there are other bidders.
- YOU CAN LEAVE a max bid -- say, for example, you decide you are willing to pay $20 for a Hudson Bay Blanket (a bargain, believe me!) -- you can leave a $20 Max bid. Which means, as other people bid, you are automatically "in" (at $1 increments) until your max bid is met. So -- you might still end up "winning" that item for much less -- depending on the interest of other bidders.
- 80% of the bidding happens in the last several hours -- so the MAX bid system will help to make sure you get in on the action.
FUN, EH??
Also -- some items have several photos -- just click on the arrow. And most items have a description, or additional information, under the "details" -- which you also have to click on...
********
Because I had a few extra days -- I FOUND even more stuff to be added to the sale.
Like -- what's inside this pizza box that's been living in my basement for the last 5 years....?
Hundreds (maybe thousands) of cut pieces, waiting to be put together. |
For a double wedding ring quilt -- right? |
I am not a quilter. |
BUT I remember the exact moment I found this treasure trove of bits and pieces...I just KNEW I would have a blast putting these pieces together in a finished quilt. |
There are many individual pieces, and many "pairs" |
there are also many half-circles already sewn together (9 pieces joined) |
I wonder about the woman who painstakingly cut all these little pieces of fabric...and then, started to sew them together... |
I wanted to finish it for her...but life got in the way. |
I can only take so much stuff to the new place. And this is a great opportunity for me to pass this treasure trove on to somebody who has more skills than me....and will really do it justice.
It is item #391 on the auction -- and the picture they have REALLY doesn't do it justice!!
PLEASE -- somebody buy this fabulous UFO -- and let me know what happens!!
Wow, that Is a treasure trove!! Not mine, particularly (I'm more a garment sewer) but someone will love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips about the max. bid thing and all. I need to do that. So far I'm winning the items I've bid on, but you never know....!!!
