Nooz!

Stuff is coming in for the auction! The first one will be going up right on schedule, the end of this month.

I've got two beautiful pendants from The Electric Celt, aka cissa. Another breathtaking wire-wrapped pendant is here courtesy of Kythrine Aisling and Wearable Sculpture. There are also four sets of beautiful earrings from Jennifer at Daemon

I would do the smallest bundles possible - this means that your bidders need less money to get in on the bidding, which gives you a greater bidder pool. If you throw in a link with each listing saying what you are doing and what other items are available, than people with lots of money who want to support the cause are going to bid on multiple things - make sure to say that they will ship together for nominal additional fee.

That's my 2 cents anyway; I am not a salesperson so take it as you will.

Oo. That's a good idea. :-)

Hallo! :-D

Re: What to put with the boxes: Well, the matching earrings, although that's probably a no-brainer.

The books and the perfumes (and the pendants, seeing as there're only three of them) I would suggest leaving separate -- largely because of the smell-factor, in the case of the perfumes.
Although: the wrapped crystal pendant might, perhaps, be pairable with an imp or two -- possibly to arrive in a pretty draw-string bag with a wolf-design iron-on-transer on it? :-) (I think you can get computer-friendly, iron-on-transfer paper from, like, Michaels' or something, can't you?) -- OR with one of the books. Either way. Basically to sweeten the deal. ;-)

If you want to add more stuff to the boxes, I would say go for trinket-y things. Jewellery, little tiny nick-nacks, or even pretty rocks. That sort of stuff -- assuming anything (else) comes in along those lines. :-)

Re: Justice League: You go give 'em hell. :-D

great ideas

[amazon_syren]

What you said.

I think a "booster pack" of add-on perfumes (pre-selected for groupings so even those who haven't tried BPAL could get a bag with a sampling of what they know usually works for them.) that could be included with a box (a person could select, fast-food style which to put in). The Autumn box could come, for instance, with the "musk booster" option, several scents to be included with the box that have that undertone, the Spring box could have a floral booster, and so on. You must auction the boxes with something inside, as it is unlucky and weird to have an empty container. You could have a "deviance" pack, with scents like "O" "Sade" etc. Otherwise, I think you'll attract more bidders if you keep the lots small. Wealthier people will simply bid on several items, or limit themselves to a big ticket thing (like a box).

No sleep last night, or I'd be bristling with better ideas.

Re: great ideas

Good ideas; I've been thinking of splitting the perfumes into groups along similar lines myself.

It is unlucky to have an empty box. :P I gotta put something in.

Don't let my ravings disturb your business planning, but I couldn't QUITE let pass your having "...spankings from Jason Carter on the brain." I even looked up JC, since I'd never heard of him, but knowing his superstar status doesn't clarify your fantasy for me.

So, Naamah, puh-leeze tell us a bit more about getting spanked...

Re: the fantasy fascinates

*smirk*

I really don't see what's complicated about a good old-fashioned over-the-knee spanking with some dirty talk thrown in (he has that British accent, you know).

:D

Woo!

[galiyah]

Excitement! I can't wait to see more pics.

Eez it too late to donate a wee art-bit? I managed to come up with this, which I feel could be better somehow, but if it passes your eye as jury:

[naamah_darling]

:D

AHAHA!!!

That is SO cool!

By all means, you send it, I'll list it! Drop me an email (naamah_darling at livejournal).

Awww! It's cute! Little wings!

Email sent!

Relatedly, I was at the library looking up Ukrainian folk tales to see if any featured wolves, for image ideas; I found a really sweet one called Sirko and the Wolf about a wolf helping an old dog abandoned by his master, who repays him later when he's starving in winter. Absolutely adorable, and cheap on Amazon!

[naamah_darling]

Aww! That looks really cute!

How sweet!
