I'm hoping a couple of really small things don't get bid on too heavily so they're not WAY out of my price range, and maybe I'll get *something*. :LOL

I was wondering the same thing about high bids, and hoping the same thing about smaller items.(Great minds think alike? :LOL )
I did win a froggy wash set for my ds, but am still hoping to win some fluff too.

i think it's because much of the proceeds are for charity. on ebay, i tend to wait until the last minute but, for these auctions, i've been bidding early just to get the prices up.

I'm hoping a lot of the bids will head to the FussyButt, ElBee, etc too....

There are some auctions that are for nice, simple things that I just ... like this: http://www.wahmchicks.com/item.php?i...44ed2aaa8b3cc3

and this: http://www.wahmchicks.com/item.php?i...d05844641f93f7

(um... yeah... there are plans to have plenty more little bums to cover with cloth, and I have a thing for nb dipes. Can't have too many, I say. I would be happy to use all pfs and flats for beyond the nb stage if I could just have lots of cute lil, itty bitty dipes for the nb period And since my babes seem to be long and skinny, nb dipes fit for a long time)

[judybean]

ooh... and I feel the need to clarify, by 'nice simple things' I mean absolutely no disrespect to the mamas that have these up for auction! I mean, they're not the auctions the hyenas are chomping at. And I am *completely* happy with it!!!!

[Ok]

I think I got a bit carried away with that notion!

I don't really need a car.....

I'd sell dh, but I'm not sure if you get more or less for middle-aged (still with lots of hair :LOL ) shooting blanks Me, personally, I like that aspect. Plus he does laundry and cooks and changes CDs happily.

Shall we start the bidding?

O, we're not in the navy... dh is the SAHP. I should've mentioned that somebody needs to have a job and dh isn't the most likely candidate. But like I said, he makes a handsome wife

ohhh, a wife, now there's something I could really use! :LOL

[WhimsyTyme]

I love what is being done with the charity auctions! Things are really tight here, but I certainly hope to participate for the cause.

It has been more than 4 months since DS has had new dipe and some of his are really coming apart! : Too, we have the boy: lil' guy on the way that we need to get ready for. Seems like there are lots of Newborn goodies in the auctions!

[jessicaSAR]

Oh my my!! That yellow knitty bitty soaker. I want that!!!!!!

Well, I already have a man in uniform, but if he were in the Marines, I'd bid anyway. I just a man in the Marine mess dress!!!! All those shiny buttons and medals really turn me on. :

ooooo. yes. i was hoping i could have kate's dh for $50. whadda bargain. but, zen, i could totally use a sahp. then maybe someone would clean this flophouse. but, i must admit my dh is totally cute. pic and another pic

and, now, back to business.....i must be a total moron. so, how can i check to see what my high bid is on an item on wahmchicks. i have bid on several items and can't seem to figure out the highest amount i bid. anyone? anyone?

[~*~MamaJava~*~]

Ooooh, a man in uniform
I've always had a weakness for that...although dh never wore one (unless you count his high school basketball uniform, which is what he was wearing when I fell for him )! He leads a boys' group at our church and has to wear a uniform-type shirt and tie, and I always think he looks so handsome! So I'm not in the market for a new one although I could use another SAHP!

ANYWAYS I am bidding on some simple things too - one of the SnuggleYou sets, and a Lullaby fitted. Some nice, boyish fluff! I love the nb stuff, but my uterus needs a break ... now, next year's Fluff Factory NB fluff will be ALL mine I'll try for a girl: for some pink fluff!
