We really need a lot of dipes, but I am going to try and help out over there and see if I can stretch DSs stash a bit longer and work on the babe's a bit later.
I am sitting on the edge of my seat watching and waiting to see what some of the items go for!!!!
I can't believe how much stuff there is still there. You'd think with just 2 days left it would be thinning out. I am still hoping to win something. It is great that people are so generous, even though I keep getting outbid on everything I try for
:LOL Honestly...I probably would be too lazy to make it for myself :LOL Just browsed through the diapering section of charity and there are a TON of diapers ending today!! some with NO bids!
I can't believe I am still winning 3 things. I am paranoid though that since they all end close to the end of the entire auction I will get outbidded at the last second and have nothing. I guess the main thing is all of the money being donated.
We are going away for the weekend so I won't be able to watch the auctions ending...
I am the highest bid on a few things, but am paranoid that they will run up at the last minute--great for AFO, though!
I saw an adorable OV Tushiecoverz fitted with a gorgeous tree embroidery/applique...I promissed DH that I was just going for AIOs (getting ready for summer) but someone please bid on that gorgeous dipe!!!

This worries me too. I haven't bid on anything that is ending farther than a day away just because I don't want to have all my money tied up in late ending auctions so I don't have anything to spend now (I have a set amount set aside.) I am really worried that as I get outbid on things I will not be able to afford the things I want at the very end. That doesn't make any sense does it? Excuse me - we have been sick in our house for two weeks and I am starting to have brain malfunctions from cabin fever.
I think the last few auctions up are going to be bid on like crazy with people who want to get something. I really love that CT soaker/Enchanted Nursery dipe set that is ending at the very end of the action. I know it will go much higher than it is now.
I was thinking the things ending last will get forgotten, if people have already spent their money earlier this week.. I have been gttign outbid on most of the things I bid on too, but hey, its for a great cause!

Okay, I have an etiquette question. This may have already been discussed, but I have missed the other threads related to the auctions.
If I am lucky enough to snag something and say it doesn't fit - what do I do with it. The majority of the auctions seem to say 10% donation. Do I resell it for the price I paid less 10%, for the price it would normally retail for, or......
I would probably try to fairy it or something like that, but I just wondered if this has come up.

I've wondered the same thing. If my things don't fit I'll probably offer them to the person I outbid in the last few minutes first and then what???
I have also noticed a few diapers going off without bids! Very cute ones too.
Good question, Melanie....I think I would just sell it for the regular retail price. Unless it was one of these auctions that's gone super-high, well...I don't know. Hm.
I am actually still winning a couple of auctions too! I think this is so great...can't believe some of the bids!
Yep, I think you just have to consider anything bid over retail a donation, and then sell it for the retail price. I mean, in most cases it's not like the wahm got the extra $ kwim.
Although, I suppose you could ebay it and then make another donation to AFO.
I know this must have been covered before, but how do we look at closed auctions? I was winning something 1/2 hour before it closed and I had to leave and now I don't see it anywhere. I assume that I would see something if I won the auction, but I want to see who won and how much I was outbid by. Anyone know?

I REALLY need diapers for this baby, and with YPA I can get gender neutral stuff!!! HOT YPA basket
I can't believe it's only at $103...between the El Bee, Fussybutt and all that other stuff...gees...It's a lot of money but it's a dream package!
I find myself holding my breath to see if I am still high bidder on my auctions! :LOL I have been outbid so many times, it is not even funny! Okay, well, maybe a little bit funny!
My dang *#@ computer! It jammed up on me when I was biddong in the last seconds on the TCT blue and yellow shorts! I so wanted those - I have been after those colors for a while!
well i've only bid on one things and so far i'm winning, but i dont think i will be the winner of it, i just have VERY bad luck on these things and ebay, i always lose but i guess i'll keep my hopes up!!
Those blue and yellow TCT shorts are just beautiful. I would have been so all over those if they had just been smaller. I kept getting outbid on everything, but I finally won something! Yay!
