Auction Vibe is a Great New Internet Auction Site

I have tried several internet auction sites and really like this Auction Vibe! It is an Australian site and is very reasonably priced indeed! I have some lovely wedding cards listed there like this cute foxes one.

Foxes Wedding Card on Auction Vibe

It is possible to list items completely for free on Auction Vibe, and the final selling costs are much cheaper than other places I have used. I think it is important to support Australia and Australian firms so hope you will join me on Auction Vibe soon!

Rhinestone Necklace ~ Bling Bling

After selling my large rug through an internet auction I next sold something else quite small. It was a pretty rhinestone necklace.

I do have another few of these left from a small batch I bought at a different online auction. They were included in a small parcel of lost freight. Each diamond look necklace is in a silver plated setting that gives it a stylish sparkling glamorous look. These are brand new with a recommended retail price of $24.95, so my price of $10.00 is a bargain for something so pretty. They are 52cm long with an adjustable chain to shorten or lengthen as required, so are ideal for an internet auction item as the postage is not high.

Persian Style Runner Rug

In a way it sometimes seems surprising what sort and size of items can be bought and sold at an online auction.

Recently I sold this Persian style hallway rug. It was about 250cm long and 80cm wide. Mum had given it to me when she moved house but I reluctantly had to admit there was no practicable place to stretch it out in my own small home. Rather than have it gathering dust and moth holes in a shed, I finally decided to sell it via an internet auction to take Mum out to dinner on the proceeds. We ate well that night!

Winx Fairy Birthday Candles

I bought these pretty fairy cake candles at an internet auction recently.

They are two of the popular 'Winx Club' Fairies, Bloom and Techna. Having three young nieces often demanding fairy cakes but always wanting different ones from their sisters, I thought these would help with future creations. I had already noticed these are quite expensive at the supermarket, so I bought a few extra to sell on a different online auction site later.

Now How is This for a Coincidence!?

Some time ago I sold a few of my very large collection of children's books via an internet auction. These were the four animal stories shown here.

I wrapped 'Walter the Farting Dog' and 'Crunch the Crocodile' in a separate parcel from 'Clifford Takes a Trip' and 'Clifford's Family' in order to keep postage posts down. However, the buyer did not pay so I then had to put them up for sale again. At the time I had about two hundred children's books listed so imagine my surprise when a few months later a different person bought (and paid for) 'Walter the Farting Dog' and 'Crunch the Crocodile'! I had not gotten around to unwrapping them so all I had to do was write out a new envelope and put them in the post. 'Clifford Takes a Trip' and 'Clifford's Family' are still wrapped together so are there any takers?!

Novel Fridge Magnet Tool Set

Here is something different for the claytons home handyman. His own miniature drill tool set as an unusual gift idea!

I have sold quite a few of these cute tool magnets on an internet auction site already as they have been quite popular. There are four different tools but six varieties as there is a slate blue buzz saw tool plus a grey buzz saw tool. Likewise the drill tool is available as blue with grey trim or vice versa, but the jigsaw cutter tool and the chainsaw tool are only available in blue. As the postage for four is the same as for one, they have sold mainly in sets, but of course they can be bought individually. The blades on all these magnet tools move realistically as well, adding to their originality. 

Scrat from Ice Age toy to herald in our winter

The latest items I bought from an online auction were some Scrat character toys from the popular animated movie Ice Age.

He is desperately clutching his acorn while at the same time looking desperately worried as he seeks a safe place to desperately hide his prize. Well, yes, Scrat is a desperate character, as we all know! I immediately gave one of these Scrat toys to my nephew for his second birthday and he was very happy indeed with his new toy. At 30cm it is much larger than it appears in this photo. I do hope you appreciate the trouble I went to in order to find a suitable background to show him off appropriately!
