Hockey for Haiti
what is hockey for haiti?
hockey for haiti is hockey fans donating hockey goods and memorabilia to be auctioned off in exchange for donations to support the relief efforts for earthquake victims in haiti.
how does it work?
1) list an item.
copy/paste the form below into a comment to list your item:
user name:email address: item up for bids: other information: starting bid: (minimum $3)
-- while there is no bid increment requirement or requirement on how many items you may bid on or what amount you bid, the minimum bid for all items must be at least $3.00 USD.
-- if you are listing more than one item, please put them in SEPARATE COMMENTS. any comments with multiple listings will be deleted. this will confuse people.
-- if you will be charging the winning bidder for shipping, please state so in your listing and how much.
what can I list?
anything hockey-related. as far as livejournal goods go: batches of hockey icons, graphics (banners, headers), livejournal layouts, desktop wallpapers, fanfic... cards, stickers, pucks, books, video games, keychains, calendars, autographs, and any other hockey memorabilia you are willing to part with for a good cause are more than welcome. there is no limit to what or how much you offer as long as it is hockey-related.
if you are listing actual memorabilia, pictures would be nice addition so bidders can know what they are actually bidding on!
IF YOU ARE NOT A LIVEJOURNAL USER-- you may still participate! OPEN ID is enabled so you may both list items and bid.
2) make a bid.
reply to items you like and bid! remember, you can bid on as many items as you like as long as you can fork out the cash!
bidding will begin as soon as the first item is listed.
-- items may be listed until sunday january 31, 2010 at 11:59 PM CST.
-- bidding will end on monday february 1, 2010 at 11:59 PM CST.
once the bidding is complete, I will reply to your comment notifying you if you are the highest bidder. then you will have 72 hours to make your donation (specific information on how to do this will be in said comment). all donations will be paid via PAYPAL ONLY to hockeyforhaiti@gmail.com. once all donations are received, one collective donation will be made to
unicefusa.org. if you think you may not be able to make your donation the week bidding ends, please email/PM me. if you fail to make your donation, the item will go to the second highest bidder if applicable. there is a possibility that instead of one collective donation that winning bidders will be able to donate directly to a charity of their choice... more to come.
PLEASE REMEMBER, ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE.
once you have made your donation, I will forward your contact information (your email address or mailing address for actual memorabilia) to the donator so they may send you the items you have won.
I am hoping to get at least $100, but more would be absolutely fantastic...
please feel free to address your questions, comments or concerns here or via email: hockeyforhaiti@gmail.com
thank you for participating! and please pimp this where you can!
