Ebay for PJ! Buy or Sell and Help Out Purple Jade

Pages: 1 2 59 replies

T

Shop, get fun stuff, and help out a friend! All proceeds from my auctions below will go to help out our very own Purple Jade from New Orleans. Be sure to look for the auctions with the NO HANDS! cat, as that is the secret sign that will let you know that it is an 'Ebay for PJ' auction. (Ebay does not allow auctions for charity unless it is one of their approved charities, as PJ found out herself trying to help tsunami victims with her jewelery.)

More to come... feel free to post your own Ebay for PJ auctions, and by all means use the No Hands! cat too. Aloha!

Here's my offering for the Great PJ eBay Extravaganza:

This is a very cool bucket mug -- I adore this mug!

You can also see more details about it on Ooga-Mooga (naturally!):

I used our little friend Nohands, but I forgot to ZAZZ! Doh! Maybe I'll add it in later.

I'll match the end price for this item, so Purple Jade will receive twice whatever the final total is -- the higher you bid, the more Purple Jade gets!

Allrighty then, I put up a couple of things.

I'll try to get to more later or Monday--I've got a nice little pile of stuff.

I regret to say that I'm a terribly choosy tiki buyer so I don't have a lot of extra tiki stuff to sell. I am still looking. There is a cool old Jantzen shirt, though, and a shell purse. I have some wee surprises to include with those, too. Mostly I have some nifty vintage oddments and some high-quality new stuff too. Okay, I admit it, I'm all over the map but it is all zazz!

Thanks, guys.

To tell you the truth, those Moai salt and pepper shakers remind me of John Travolta.

T

Damn I wish those shoes were 7.5!

T

I think I have some 7.5 shoes to put up, actually. I almost listed that pair as 7-7.5, though, not just 7, because they are a hair long on me. I just wasn't sure that was quite enough...if you don't mind a snug fit and are a true B, not wide, they might do. Usually 7s top out at 9.5".

I am a lunatic for 40's shoes.

Now, I wish THESE fit me. Fwat.

I know people associate Ebay with trying to score the best deal they can. But this being all about helping a friend, I hope the bidders find themselves bidding on the "Ebay for PJ" auctions with generosity. Mahalo in advance to all the bidders!

I would very much like to donate a Maikai Gents fun package to help Purple jade, but am very computer and eBay ignorant (I'm just amazed that I can post here!). If one of our close personal friends would like to help by putting the auction up, I'll provide the merchandise and shipping. Any folks interested in helping me with this, please e-mail me (Private messages don't get checked too often.). Mucho Mahalo.

How about this idea. I will put a lot of 200 single Hukilau swizzles sticks on Ebay with a $1 opening bid. The winners will not actually get the swizzle as the shipping would eat the money. Instead, the swizzles would be taken with me to Hukilau and put in drinks served as a reminder. That way, people can donate whatever they want from $1 on up. The only money lost would go to Ebay and PayPal. Every penny raised would just be sent to PJ, no questions asked.

I could even make it a 3 day auction so it could be wrapped up very soon and help would arrive that much quicker.

Creating a mug will take a long time. Selling it will too. And, asking for something in return for your charity cheapens it.

What a great idea Swanky, so are you going to do it? I'll be the first to donate! Of course I can't speak for PJ, but I do know that her being asked to design this mug has meant a lot to her, to be able to think about something other than her current situation for just a few minutes I would imagine has been a welcomed relief.

Dawn,
Thanks for working to help and doing it. Getting it done.
I am going to see if Kiliki will promote it through Hukilau. Do an auction and not only put those swizzles in drinks at Hukilau, but have maybe a table for "Swizzles of Katrina Ohana Aid" and make it a donation. I think I have thousands of swizzles in the basement. If we can promote it, then hopefully everyone will know that the swizzle in the drink is a reminder of those who could not make it because of the storm. At this point, I have been unable to reach Mary Wahl. Calling her number either gets a fast busy or a "all lines busy" message.
The last week has got me and my house thinking about what we mean to each other and how much we have even though we live paycheck to paycheck (on a good month!) and we are struggling to figure out what we can do for people in our modest way. 1,000s of people showed up at our churches and civic center this week here in Knoxville. Cots to sleep on in a room with 500 other people... Man. It's rough. We do what we can locally and hope to help who we can, who we know nationally.
There are 4 people on the Hukilau guest list who I assume are effected. PJ of course, Mary and Armead in Metarie who are not on TC but have been to Hukilau and other events, and a guy in Gulf Shores who I do not know. Regardless of what they lost or did not lose this week, this week has cost them money. I think I can cut something out and send some money and be just fine. Far better than if I was in the Gulf shore area...

Your swizzle stix is a great idea Swanky, please let us know when we can make our bids! :)

FYI, in speaking with some people who called & emailed me about this mug, I wanted to let you know that I bid on this mug, at this price, because of the 'overseen' statement that Humuhumu has on her post:

"I'll match the end price for this item, so Purple Jade will receive twice whatever the final total is -- the higher you bid, the more Purple Jade gets!"

It's all for PJ folks, not for the mug. If you outbid me, then that's ok, since I will still send her the amount I have bid (aka, she will get the amount 3x over!)

As always, just my 2 coconuts worth.

D

WOW! What a great idea! I missed that part of Humuhumu's post.
It's inspired me to do the same. I'll also match whatever my Gecko mug ends up selling at.

Ebay 4 PJ was a super idea Tikifish! I just want to thank everyone who participated in my "Ebay 4 PJ" auctions. My little auctions alone raised 189.58 with just 7 items. Plus with me matching the Gecko mug sale puts the total at 266.36!
And thats not including the Maikai Gents CD auction I posted for Judd. If you add that sale the total comes to 299.36!
WOW!
I am stunned! Thanks for helping me help a friend TC! Many MAHALOS Everyone!!! I'll be posting more soon...
