Silent Auction
I’ve decided to have a silent auction for the things I’ve got to sell.
I’m going to make a list and if you are interested, leave a comment with the item you want to bid on and how much you are bidding. I will run the silent auction until Monday night, and then announce the winners.
Here’s what I have so far:
Item One: Sex and the City: The Movie hardback book. Brand new, slight scuff mark on bottom front cover. This is a beautiful coffee table type book full of insights and pictures from the Sex and the City movie. Shipping will be $3.
Item Two: Sephora: The Ultimate Guide to makeup, skin, and hair from the beauty authority. Brand new hardback book. Chock full of all kinds of advice to make you look awesome. Shipping will be $3.
Item Three: THREE $25 giftcards ($75 total) which can be used at GAP, Banana Republic or Old Navy. Free shipping.
Item Four: A Hot Pink Polaroid i733 digital camera. The finish on the back left hand side is slightly messed up from where it came in contact with some mosquito spray. But other than that, it works great. It takes still pictures and video clips. It is 7.0 mega pixels, 3X optical zoom lens, and 2.5′’ color LTPS LCD display. I really like this camera, but I never use it anymore since I have the Iphone and the Flip camera. Shipping $6
Item Five: A white, pink and brown floral hotsling. Size 2. Really cute, in great condition. My babies are just getting too big for it. Shipping $2
Item Six: Paperback copy of Naptime is the New Happy Hour by Stefanie Wilder-Taylor. Shipping $2.
Item Seven: Paperback copy of Mothers Need Time-Outs Too by Susan Callahan, Anne Nolen and Katrin Schumann. Shipping $2.
Item Eight: Paperback copy of The Tao of Fertility by Daoshing Ni and Dana Herko. Shipping $2.
Item Nine: Perfect for your tween! I’ve got a pink and gray High School Musical hoodie from Macy’s. Says High School Musical on the front in gold letters. On the back it says High School Musical Staff in gold letters. Very cute. Also included are a white Hannah Montana tshirt, a blue High School Musical tshirt, a pair of High School Musical 2 pink pajamas (pants and shirt) and a pair of white size 5 High School Musical shoes. All gently worn by Bug. Shipping $8.
Item Ten: Size 2T Gymboree skirt. It is pink with red cherries. I believe it is from the July 2006 Gymboree Cherry Pie line. In perfect condition. Shipping $2.
Item Eleven: Size 6-12 months Gymboree dress. I tried to find a picture of it, but no luck so far. It is a little sun dress, a pretty pale yellow. There is a light blue ribbon at the waist and two at the bottom of the dress. Has flowers at the very top and bottom. Really pretty. It was only worn once by Snowbaby. Shipping $2
Item Twelve: Size 10 Reg Women’s American Eagle Jeans. Hipster Fit. Light blue color. Super condition. Shipping $5.50
Item Thirteen: Hardback copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Excellent condition. Shipping $3
Item Fourteen: Long term readers will recognize Item Fourteen: The infamous pink iPod. I purchased this ipod towards the end of 2004. It is a pink ipod mini. It works good. The outside does have some issues, sort of like if someone had taken it and passed it around the fifth grade. (Which is exactly what happened.) The biggest issue is a scratch along the right side. There are also a few scratches on the front and on the bottom part of the screen. None of these things affect the performance of the ipod though. If you are concerned with how it looks, they do sell covers that you could put on it to make it look cuter. But really, it doesn’t look that bad for being four years old. But even better than getting to own this “famous” pink ipod, is that it comes loaded with 369 songs and four audiobooks!! I paid 99 cents for almost all of these songs, so that makes this ipod worth something! The songs vary from Broadway stuff, country, pop, rock, some rap, a little bit of everything. You get all the songs from Wicked, most of the Legally Blonde stuff, Avenue Q, some Rent, some Fiddler. The three audio books are Just like Heaven, Devil Wears Prada and Man of my Dreams. With the ipod you get the belt clip, the usb cable and the charger. I do not have the earphones, since Snowbaby tried to eat them, but you can pick up a new set for a few bucks. One note, there are a few songs that have explicit lyrics so if you would be offended by that or are giving this to a child, you would want to delete them. I could make a list of the songs that you would need to delete if that is necessary. Of course, you can delete any songs you want and add your own songs. I think it hold 1000 songs total.
Item 15: EIGHT pairs of Buglegs baby/toddler leg warmers. You will get one pair of grey/black skull, one pair of red/black skull, one pair of gray/white/blue argyle, one pair of black/white/blue skull, one pair of rainbow stripe, one pair of yellow with green dots, one pair of whales and one pair of robots. Eight brand new pairs!
Item 16: A new with tags corduroy Aeropostale messenger bag. It is dark gray with lighter gray trim. I bought it on sale for $19.99 and never got a chance to use it.
Item 17: 4 long panels of Jungle Baby fabric. I’m not sure the exact measurements, but there is a lot of fabric. I used four panels of this material to make curtains for two pretty big windows. I was going to make another four panels to make the curtains thicker but I um..didn’t. I’ve also got the baby quilt. All you need to do is put the blanket binding around the edges and you’ve got a baby quilt. I am throwing in the blanket binding as well as some matching thread. I’ve also got a yard of coordinating fabric..same animals, just a little bigger. I was going to make a pillow out of this, but again..I didn’t. You can see what the fabric looks like here. So you get four panels of fabric, the baby quilt, the yard of fabric, a roll of matching thread and the blanket binding.
Ok, that’s what I’ve got for now. Happy bidding! I’ll add more as I find it. Oh, and I’ll be happy to combine shipping if you win more than one thing. All this stuff must go, so I’ll take any bids.

What size is Bug’s hoodie and stuff? I know she’s older then mine, so it probably will be to big, but hey, it’s worth a shot.
June 7th, 2008 at 5:19 pm

We bought a house a while ago and I completely understand how this goes. We tried to sell a bunch of stuff too until the sellers relented and took a bit of a lower price so we could get it. (I mean, WHEW.)
