BIDDING RULES:

How it works:


I will list an item with a starting bid price and also an 'I WANT it Now' price and an ending bid time. All times will be pacific standard time. The comment section will be used to bid on the item. All bid increases need to be in increments of $1. If you have to have the item, and are willing to pay the "I WANT it Now" price, then enter your comment "I WANT it Now" with the price listed. All bidding will be closed at that time. I will also list a shipping price and that price will be added to the final price of the item. Payment will be collected through Paypal. I will need an email address from each winning bidder. You do not need to have a Paypal account, you can still use a credit card through Paypal.


And now for the nitty gritty on my bidding rules. If an auction item closes at 6:00pm, then the LAST person to enter a comment with the highest bid with a time stamp of 5:59 pm wins. If two comments with the same bid are time stamped 5:59, then the FIRST comment will win. I think it will be crazy fun. Shipping prices include shipping and handling. I'm happy to combine shipping for lower rates. Shipping rates for multiple items will be determined after purchase. Any grossly over-charged shipping will be refunded. OH...and I do NOT iron for any blog sale! All items come from my smoke-free and pet hair free home.

More Next Week!

I needed a break sorry. It's a lot of work taking the pictures, organizing the clothing and then packaging them off for delivery. You should have seen my family room. People would stop by and I was like...'woah,you can't come in, my house is upside down with clothes everywhere!'

So next week friends. Next week will be Kaia's closet and then I think I will pace myself and plan Blake's closet the following week. You just wait...there are some cute clothes for little boys!

And, kind of a sensitive subject for me, but I do have a handful of maternity clothes, pretty much brand new that I can list. Any preggo girls interested? I had started shopping when I was first pregnant last year and then thought that I would be pregnant again and when I still wasn't pregnant 6 months later and we stopped trying, it was too late to return the clothes. So let me know. I have a pair of maternity William Rast with tags on still!

Until then....have a happy weekend!

Feb 21, 2011

Wow!

What a fun last few days! I hope you are all as excited about receiving your goodies as I have been packaging up those pretty items for you. We'll take a 1-2 day break and then come back with a vengeance with Kaia's closet. I just found a whole other bag of clothes that I had forgotten about. And Blake has some fun items too.
Plus I have a very cute pair of size 8 1/2 heels I'll be giving away. Dave actually picked them up and said....'these are the same ones you wear on Sunday and they are on clearance for $4.98. You should buy them and do a giveaway.' What a sweetie he is...huh? See you in a couple of days. I'm off to the post office and needing 8 hands to carry in all the boxes! They are all shipping priority mail. You should have them by weeks end if you have paid in full!

kisses, april

Round Two.

Second round of clothes coming tomorrow and Saturday. Thank you so much for a fun day! How did you feel about the I WANT it NOW option? I'm curious. It took away a bit of the bidding war, but I kind of like instant gratification when I really want something.

There is still one item available in round one. First bidder wins! Trust me, those two Abercrombie shirts are really cute on. And might fit better on a 12-14 year old and even be considered a junior XS.

First Round of Clothes!

And the fun {and bidding wars} begin! The first round of clothes are up. From mine and Kaia's closets. Cute clothes that just don't work for either of us anymore. Kaia is growing out of hers quicker than I can buy them and for one reason or another my items just don't quite fit right or I have worn them enough that I'm ready to share them! Bidding instructions are listed on each post while everyone gets used to the 'how-to's'!

I'll be posting new items daily/weekly until our closets are cleaned out. I have quite the pile! So...follow along or check back often. Have fun.
