the details

Thanks to all of you who have replied to our previous post regarding this auction! It’s wonderful to know there is still a little more support we can give Aubry and Nate.

After some discussion, we’ve decided that our community has shown enough interest in moving forward, so we will!

This is just a quick note with the details we’ve worked out so far concerning donating your items.

We would like to have information and pictures of items to be donated by Monday, January 29th, and we’re projecting the auctions will start 1 week later (though possibly earlier) February 5. We also plan on having a preview of items to tempt you ;) ! We would like to limit donated items to 2 per person. If we receive more donations than anticipated, we will decide which items we’d like to put in the auction.

We are debating whether or not it will be necessary to have donated items shipped to a central location (Sara’s house) where she will then take on the responsibility of shipping sold items. The alternative is to have donators ship items to the sellers.

So, in your email kindly include the following information:
1. Item description
2. a few good shots of the item and detail shots if necessary (for hats or necklaces, maybe a shot on a body)
3. an estimated value (what would you like the items to start at), and a lower price you would be okay with them it selling for (for example, if you’ve made a necklace you feel is worth $20, would you be disappointed if it sold for $10? Remember lower starting prices sometimes raise more interest, thus more $$!)
4. Please answer whether or not you would be willing to mail packages directly to the buyer within 48 hours of notification of received payment (we would notify you that payment has been received and give you the mailing address)

Sara (gilded_garb) has offered both her ebay & paypal accounts for our use. We will take all responsibility for posting items and receiving payment.

If you have any questions regarding any of this please email us at


Thanks again for your kindness and compassion!
