I keep getting outbid on *everything*! Now all of it has gone up above my price range! The only thing I'm winning is the YPS felted mocs, and that's what I REALLY, REALLY want...I've been looking for a felted mocs slot for ages! Aaahhh! These auctions are getting addicting.

I'm in the process of listing a bunch of things in hopes of raising paypal for these auctions! I just had to bid on the "rebel" boys basket, it would be perfect for chandler, and I hardly ever get anything new and exciting for him!

[wildthing]

Well, I was high bidder on the Royal MM shorts for almost a full 24 hours! :LOL

[LuvMy2Kidz]

And again, I am still shocked I haven't been outbid on the Kiwi Butt NB set yet :LOL

[jessicaSAR]

Can you raise your maximum bid on whamchicks without bidding against yourself? I know this was discussed yesterday, but I think I went to bed too early to see the answer.

[LuvMy2Kidz]

I don't know....
But I just checked and am quite impressed with the generosity of the WAHMs involved...there are currently 426 auctions listed in the charity category...and many in the general categories that are giving all or part to AFO as well!

Yup! It will raise your proxy without bidding it up. I just had to personally test the theory upping my proxy on a Fresh Moon set!!!! : Now don't go anyone go looking for it!!!! It's mine

[Sailmom]

I think I might be hoping that I do get out bid on a couple of things. I would never go to Las Vegas or Atlantic City and gamble, but keep upping my bid on auction above what I originally set aside to spend? Heck yea! I just want to WIN (insert maniacal laugh here!) :LOL

[binxsmom]

is there any way to tell what you have bid on an item? stupid question, right? i mean, i can see if i am winning but i've bid on quite a few auctions and i can't figure out what i initially bid. make sense?

[Mama2Hunter]

Oh!!! Look at the Baby Bloomrs Auctions. If I had a girl, I'd be all over that pink camo set. I really like the cowboy, the monkey, and the fish set. Oh, to have all three. . .I'd be in heaven. She is so talented. WOW!

[HeatherB]

It is definitely fluff overload! And the bigger problem for me - we're moving on Saturday! So I NEED to be packing and cleaning... but what do I WANT to do? Sit here and look at fluffy auctions all day. :LOL

oh, love the pink camo! I was eyeing that on her site a while back. OK, now would somebody go outbid me on the luxe!? :LOL

[judybean]

Total. Fluff. Overload.

But dang, if I'm going to be overloaded with something, it might as well be fluff!!

(plus, this is a super distraction from the current events of real life which are totally not fun right now. looking at newborn diapers makes me happy. bidding on them makes me even happier )

I'm checking right now for some of my very favorite auctions I'll post again in a minute.

[twouglyducks]

Binx, login and go to your user control panel. Then your bids, or something along those lines. HTH

[Oceanone]

Oh, good heavens - how did I miss this one!

Seriously there is so much stuff there that if you don't have time to look properly you can miss something awesome! **must go find more room in budget for luxe and tdd**

[mamaroni]

This one is really pretty, too!

and yes, the generosity of these wahms is wonderful!

[Just*Lindsay]

Everything is beautiful, Id love to bid on everything.

Can someone explain something to me though. Arent people making pretty pennies off of these auctions by using charity in the name? MOST of these auctions are 10%. So say something goes for $300, the person selling it is getting $270 (way over retail right?) and the charity is getting $30? Isnt that a TAD sad to anyone? Im sure Ill get WAAAAY flamed for this, but I was just wondering if I was right or if Im smokin crack and things are going differentely than I have imagined. LOL

Thanks.

Lindsay

[apmama]

hmmm, good question... I've noticed that a few descriptions said something about donating a higher percentage if the item went over retail. You could read the descriptions of the items you're thinking of to see if they say anything like that. Just a thought!

That is simply stunning, just wow!

Lindsay, I think you are right. It's worth noting which are the 100/50/10 % auctions.

[jessicaSAR]

I have been wondering this too. There are some nice auctions that are 50% donated, and I have been wondering if folks are donating a % plus everything over retail (I hope so). But I am not sure, so I spent my little cache on a 100% auction. Maybe someone can clear this up for us.
