Smashed £1000 in Proceeds!

The Auction is going really well with proceeds standing at just over £1100 at the moment.  The first batch made approximately £820 and possibly a little bit more as all monies have not been paid yet and I did sell an extra set of Tristan Gemmill pictures as I had 2 lot's which am waiting for payment.  Sent out the first lot which were paid for on Tuesday and hopefully all will be delivered within the next few days - most sent 2nd Class.  The next batch finish in 2 days and currently stand at nearly £300 and hope to make over £500 for this batch.  I have a few more bits and bobs to add over the next few days but am not adding every thing at once as it is time consuming packing up items, trundling to Post Office etc.

More items promised in the post so hopefully will have 1 more batch to list and then can total up proceeds - on target to make about £1500 which is not bad for a few months of Tweeting to ask for donations - not all Celeb's will respond to this kind of request direct, but most will donate a photograph.  Even a photograph can make monies when signed, which is why I specified signed items when requesting donations.  For example, the Lucy Speed picture is at £20 at the moment because apparently it is "rare" because they are not making The Bill anymore.

So far the Auction has exceeded my expectations - and there is more to come!!  Keep watching for more exciting items.

As this Auction is now in to the New Year, I've removed the Christmas reference to it to avoid confusion and hopefully more donations will arrive as Celeb's might think they are too late to donate - it's never too late to donate and ALL will be used to raise awareness & monies for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust .... after all, Cystic Fibrosis is going no-where until a cure is found.

P.S.  A Twitter follower informed me that as I only have "0" feedback on my ebay account people might not think I am trustworthy and won't buy - this was unavoidable due to ebay now allowing me to list more than 30 items on my regular account with nearly 1200 feedback 100% so I had to create a new account and I AM TRUSTWORTHY - having raised well over £150,000 in nearly 6 years for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, I think that would count for something!
