I bid $25 on a crocheted dinosaur for Aidan, though I expect I'll be outbid because it was insanely cute. :-)
The way it works is that the winning bidder for an item makes a donation in the amount of their bid to a Haiti-related charity of their choice (as long as it's a known, reputable charity) and sends the person who posted the item a copy of the receipt. But I think when posting an item you can suggest a charity - I put MSF on mine.
I haven't the time for making extra things, unfortunately. I need to conserve my materials for new-baby knitting and my time for sock/sweater/new-baby knitting. I just sink at the notion of adding more to my miles-long knitting queue. BUT this is a good idea, generally speaking.
