Welcome to my Online Silent Auction
Welcome everyone. I appreciate you stopping by to take a look at my online silent auction. As most of you know by now, I am participating in the Breast Cancer 3 Day in the Twin Cities in August, 2009, which means that I have committed to walk 60 miles in 3 days. Yes, you might say that I am a little crazy but I do strongly believe in this cause and sometimes we have to do something out of the ordinary to get results. The Breast Cancer 3 Day is held to raise money for breast cancer research, treatment and education. All proceeds will go to Susan G. Komen and the National Philanthropic Trust. That’s where you and this auction come in.
The directions for placing a bid are listed below as well as the items that are available to be bid on. This auction resembles a “face to face” silent auction in that each of you will be able to see who is placing a bid and how much it is. Friendly competition is encouraged! Remember, the money will be going to a great cause and the highest bidder will win that item.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 25kajo@gmail.com

You want to make sure that your bid is indeed the highest.
5. Click in the Leave your comment box and enter the following information:

The auction will open at 7:00 a.m. Central Time on Monday, May 11th and close at 7:00 p.m. Central Time on Monday, May 18th.
2. How did you arrive at the value of each item?
The businesses that donated items (Caribou Coffee, North Links Golf Club etc.) quoted me the actual retail value of that item.
For the home made items, the estimated value was determined by cost of materials, time spent creating the item, and the market value of similar items found on sites such as eBay, etsy, and other craft sites.
3. How did you arrive at the Starting Bid?
All starting bids are approximately 25%-30% of the value of the item. For some of the lower cost items I may have gone a little higher. This is similar to how I have seen other silent auctions operate.
4. Why won’t I be notified if I am outbid?
I will be unable to keep track of the bids at all times and will not be able notify people when they are outbid. This auction will function much like a “face to face” silent auction where people have to keep checking the bid sheet to be sure that they are still the highest bidder. Please keep this website address handy so that you will remember to check on the bids periodically throughout the week.
5. Why do I need to leave my e-mail address in the comments section when I place my bid?
When the auction is over I will need to be able to contact the winner of each item. Your e-mail address seems to be the best way for me to do this.

6. I’ve looked over your items and am not interested in bidding on any of them. However, I’d like to support breast cancer research. Can I make a donation instead?
Absolutely! I’d be happy to accept donations. On the right hand side of the screen, toward the top, is a link to my 3 day website (Karen’s 3 day page) click on that and follow the directions for making a donation.
7. It looks like I am the first person to bid. Do I have to bid the minimum bid that is posted or can I start at a higher dollar amount?
You sure can start at a higher dollar amount! The minimum bid is the lowest bid that will be accepted for that item. You can start the bidding at that amount or at any amount higher than the posted minimum bid.
8. I like a pair of the Buy Now earrings but someone else has already purchased them. Do you have another pair like them that I can purchase?
I might have the stones or beads available to make another pair. Please email me at 25kajo@gmail.com and I will let you know.
9. I like the style of one of the Buy Now earrings but am not crazy about the color. Would you be able to make me a pair in the color of my choice?
I might be able to. Please email me at 25kajo@gmail.com and let me know what you have in mind and I will get back to you.
10. Do you make and sell any other beaded items besides earrings?
