AUCTION WPR Auction Item Donations - March 2017

[DQTimnehs]

It was so much fun and so successful that we are doing it again! The next auction will be held Saturday, March 25 and Sunday, March 26, 2017.

We are looking for items you would like to donate and ship to the winning bidder. Please include item name, description, photo(s) (full size), starting bid in US $ (the minimum amount you'd like the item to sell for), if you are including shipping and within what area (Canada, US and/or international). If you are not including shipping, please state the location the item will be shipped from. You may wish to consider donating small, light items to keep the shipping amounts down.

From 584 birds to just over 200 now, the former World Parrot Refuge birds still need our help. Their vet bills are over $200,000 and they need more toys, so we will split the raised money between the 2.

Let's make this one bigger and better than the last one!

​

Thank you, all!

I think putting WPR or something in the title might get more people looking, I wasn't sure what this was for until I clicked

 

[Clueless]

Hmmmm. I'm sure I have something I can donate.

You post your items to donate right here in this thread. There will be a master item thread and individual item threads for each item to be sold that will be public once the auction starts. Yes, it is an online auction here on AA.. The donors will ship the items directly to the buyer once the item is paid for. If shipping is not included (ie. being donated by the donor of the item), the shipping fees are to be paid directly to the donor. Items will be paid for here on AA using the Donation button (Paypal). Anything goes but we recommend small light things to keep shipping charges low. If you look back in this forum you can see the threads from the last sale. We had gift certificates for bird toys, bird toys, food, art, jewelry, books, etc. Most was bird related but it doesn't have to be.
