Description

The listing, Friends Helping Friends Mystery Box has ended.

Now this is something new I am trying here and as a lot of you know I am known for helping out others, lol So I thought I would do it this way and see how it goes.

The idea here is to bid and then comment an auction of your own or someone you would like to see get some attention to their auctions.

There are so many great sellers on here and I want to see as many as possible get what they need and show others just how good they are too :)

Please don't spam the auction though, the only condition is you have to bid in order to post one :)

I will also update along the way and will start revealing items as we go along. I still have a ton of inventory here so you will get an awesome box too :)

Items will include Bath & Body Works, Victoria's Secret, The Body Shop, Avon, Jewelry, Electronics, etc and will only get better with more bids.

So get those bids and auctions in....Good Luck & Happy Bidding <3

I wish you could bid too, but yes as the rules of the listing say in order to place one of your own you need to bid or it ruins the fun for everyone here. I will be hiding your comment to keep it fair for everyone that has been playing by the rules. I hate to be strict but if it does happen again, I will block you. I do appreciate you stopping by but please from now on play by the rules and I do wish you luck :)

Aug 24th, 2010 at 8:24:07 PM PDT by

Hey Sweetie,
Still watching, hoping bid as soon as I have enough credits. In the mean time all the best to you! :)

Aug 24th, 2010 at 1:31:38 PM PDT by

Aww thanks sweetie pie :) I am just glad you are here and hope that others check out what you have since you are a rockin seller :) Come back anytime XOXOXOXO

Aug 24th, 2010 at 8:27:36 PM PDT by

You have a TON of credits on this!

Aug 27th, 2010 at 10:50:23 AM PDT by

LOL thanks and it has gone bigger than I expected it to, but am glad if it has helped others as well :)

Aug 27th, 2010 at 12:38:52 PM PDT by

Here is a link to one of Katdragon's auctions :) http://www.listia.com/auction/739902

Aug 26th, 2010 at 1:55:40 PM PDT by

Wow great auction wish I could bid but brand new only 15 days old lol, not enough credits yet, love the pay it forward theme in helping others all for that. We all need to do what we can in good times and bad <3 good luck all on bidding

Aug 27th, 2010 at 4:01:33 AM PDT by

Aww thankies and welcome to Listia :) It's a great site, love the concept and the awesome people and friends I have made along the way. It really won't take too long to build up credits and just keep listing items and before you know it you will be rich in credits :D I love being able to help others too and once I get my beauty line going I can help even more :) Thanks again for being here and be sure to check back next week as I will be doing another like this but with a new twist :)

Good luck on all your auctions as well :)

Aug 27th, 2010 at 12:33:27 PM PDT by

STill a great auction... absolutely love the pay it forward theme!

Aug 27th, 2010 at 6:58:47 AM PDT by

Aww thanks and I do too.It's always so much better with one of these and the ability to help others. I have had a lot of others asking to use the idea as well and I think it's great :) The more that can be helped the better. I will be doing another one I think on Tuesday but it will have a little different spin on it and I hope it will help even more that way :)

Aug 27th, 2010 at 12:29:03 PM PDT by

so kristen gets something even if she doesn't win the auction?? i'm really confused on that?

Aug 27th, 2010 at 9:39:58 AM PDT by

Yes it is a random choice with bidmarks sometimes and my way of thanking her for getting us to that point. I don't always do it and the person is just whomever reaches that point :) It's just another fun thing for the auction :)

Aug 27th, 2010 at 12:19:04 PM PDT by

This thing is giving me major troubles tonight and posting in wrong boxes so disregard that last comment, lol Since we have now hit10,000 credits I am adding a cute XOXO handbag NWT that retails for $32, Slatkin & Co votive in Japanese Cherry Blossom & Thierry Mugler Alien sample. If we reach 20,000 there will also be a $10 Starbucks gift card, 30,000 will be a Juicy Coin Holder & 50,000 will be a mini DV cam NIB. Of course lots in between and if we do hit 30,000 I will upgrade this to the large flat rate box to hold all of these awesome goodies in :) There will also be awesome goodies not mentioned to keep some mystery too :)

Aug 27th, 2010 at 1:17:52 AM PDT by

i dont have a car and there are no goodwills or salvation army's within walking distance from my house,there is a dollar tree but they only have some of the smaller things pens,pencils,crayons but honestly i can barley afford to buy diapers some weeks,that is why i love listia because i can turn the $5 a week i spend on postage for a bag of diapers and bath needs,so it makes it worth it. but to go out and spent $30 plus on school supplies we just cant do.a few weeks ago my husband pawned his guitar to get diapers and toilet paper! we never used to be this hard up,but like i said in an earlier message it was all court fees (over $4,000 for stealing halloween candy last year!)for my daughters that has been making it hard...all we need to do is catch up on a few bills and we should be ok again.untill then i do appreciate everyone who is willing to help. :)

Aug 26th, 2010 at 1:38:06 PM PDT by

I can relate. Hubby has the car for work so we are left here alot and I have to depend on him for everything and we struggle all the time too. Sometimes even making the food stretch can be tough, but somehow we always manage and I always feel so blessed :) Every day here is a true gift :) I plan on even starting a charity fund with Mystic Nature once it goes big to help others in need to pay it forward. We just have to stay positive and know that things will get better for all of us :)

As for what your daughter did, I would make her pay you back to teach her a good lesson :)

Aug 26th, 2010 at 2:21:13 PM PDT by

Hi mysticblue! you are so awesome to do this. I would love to bid, but I got scammed out of 6000+ points and I am fighting to get them back:( Maybe you would think about doing this again soon. Good luck to all of my awesome friends!! I will be watching

Aug 26th, 2010 at 11:36:30 AM PDT by

Aww I am sorry to hear that happened to you, not fun. I will be doing it again soon and run it 10 days so go along when hubby gets paid so I can cover shipping :) Thanks so much for being here :)

Aug 26th, 2010 at 1:35:48 PM PDT by

I love this auction! Wonderful idea! Anyone who wants can check out my newest ones ust search for mystery tote , mystery treasure chest or litlle black box! Those are my best ones right now but they are nothing compared to this one!

Aug 26th, 2010 at 11:20:23 AM PDT by

Awesome and glad to have you here. Thanks so much for letting us know what you have and best of luck here and on all of your auctions. If you can copy a link to one of yours it would make it easier to find ya :)

Aug 26th, 2010 at 1:49:36 PM PDT by

Oh yeah, Local salvation Army's might be able to help also.

Aug 26th, 2010 at 9:58:46 AM PDT by

Thanks so much for the info and your help :)

Aug 26th, 2010 at 1:36:57 PM PDT by

posted this on my auctions :)

Aug 26th, 2010 at 9:16:34 AM PDT by

Aww thanks for your help :)

Aug 26th, 2010 at 1:37:22 PM PDT by

I would wait for the list... just a sidenote to Mommy.... Our boys preschool requires Crayola only and Elmers with the black label only and some schools require specific colors for binders... just a thought. but yes dollar trees are great... also sometimes goodwills...and sometimes they run a fill a backpack thing for the community... do a search for it in your area.

Aug 26th, 2010 at 8:52:14 AM PDT by

Good point, but schools shouldn't be that picky and take what parents can do. I agree, Dollar Tree has been a blessing here for when we are the lowest on money for things. Goodwill is also a good idea, thanks for the ideas :)

Aug 26th, 2010 at 1:39:17 PM PDT by

This is an awesome idea for an auction! Will be back later when I can bid!

Aug 26th, 2010 at 5:58:50 AM PDT by

Awesome and hope you can :) Good luck :)

Aug 26th, 2010 at 1:40:53 PM PDT by

I too have 3 kids... 2 of which needed school supplies, the Dollar Tree is the best for that and they have everything!! :)

Aug 25th, 2010 at 9:13:44 PM PDT by

I also have 3 but we homeschool, so they do everything online and it's all free, even the laptops :) Dollar Tree is the best, also great for gift basket supplies, tissue paper and such :)

Aug 26th, 2010 at 1:42:29 PM PDT by

Do we have to bid again if we wanna advertise another auction?

Aug 25th, 2010 at 9:11:35 PM PDT by

Yep, part of the terms of the auction, 1or 2 per bid please :)

Aug 26th, 2010 at 1:43:16 PM PDT by

@mommie1976 Do you have access to a dollar tree?

Aug 25th, 2010 at 7:29:58 PM PDT by

They also have a website you can order from :)

mommyof3at22 is sending #2,12,13,14 that i can remember right now so if anything they would be extras for later in the year. some of the teachers havent passed out list yet,but im sure it is just more of the same stuff!
THANKS TO ALL!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!

Aug 25th, 2010 at 6:49:09 PM PDT by

Awesome Tanya and thanks for posting your list. Anyone that can help please do, but no obligation if you can't. Every bit helps and most of this can be bought at $$$ Stores so cost would be low. Since you will need for 3 kids, all items can be bought by more than one person and then you would have extras anyway :)

We all love you too sweetie and love seeing others offer help :)

Aug 25th, 2010 at 6:56:06 PM PDT by

Also anyone feel free to post this auction on your own if you think it will help others as well :) I will update again once we hit 10,000 credits and it will only get better from there. I have some awesome goodies that I am waiting to add if this goes super big I even have a touch screen mp4 player for way later on should it deem appropriate to add :)

Aug 25th, 2010 at 6:46:28 PM PDT by

WOW! thanks sunnyflorida,i will take all the help i can get! i have 5 kids at home(mom to 6 my oldest just moved out) 2 that are babies and 3 in school. i was unable to get them anything this year because my two oldest girls(1 of them being the one who has moved out) got into some trouble last year and we have been paying off the court fees sience march! we just finish paying them off last week,but now are behind on bills! so looks like it will be a while before we can affoed to get them clothes and supplies on our own. so i really do appreaciate all the help i can get! you are all wonderful!

Aug 25th, 2010 at 5:44:18 PM PDT by

See it's not always easy to post our needs but as you can tell when you do you will find people that will do good out of the kindness of their hearts when another is in need and it is such a good feeling when you can help others.

If you want, post a list of your needs here and then it will make it easier for others to help and they can then message you for your shipping info. I really hope you can get everything you need for the kids. I just wish I could do more, but I will do everything I can to help you get what you need :)

Aug 25th, 2010 at 6:13:09 PM PDT by

Wow.... no way I can catch up to that.... Great idea though... I might have to use it.. lol

have a great day!

Aug 25th, 2010 at 5:22:00 PM PDT by

Well I will be doing it again so you can save up and all boxes I send are packed full of goodies :)

By all means use it :) The more that get help the better :)

Have a great day too and an awesome weekend :)

Aug 25th, 2010 at 6:10:29 PM PDT by

Wonderful and great idea! Ok I love your stuff.
Right now i've got my GENUINE PINK COACH..BARBIE DOLL/ PEPTO PINK
http://www.listia.com/auction/744851 if credits reach 25k including a free brand new BREAST CANCER AWARENESS GENUINE COACH KEY RING
also have the 10KT white gold and GENUINE BLUE DIAMOND ring that I'm willing to resize if the credits are high enough! and I just put on a Blackberry Bold 9700 cell.
Love this auction and I will be watching to make sure I stay at the top! :)
It's sooo wonderful you helping everyone . I too try to help wherever i can. Sometimes it's very hard w/ no work and zero income but we manage to do what we need to do to help others.:)Esp since Charity Begins at home and after all isn't listia a "FAMILY"? ;-)

Aug 25th, 2010 at 4:38:12 PM PDT by

Hello sweet pea and thanks so much for stopping by and yes I have seen your listing for the Coach and it is awesome. I am afraid I won't have enough to get it, but absolutely love it, you always have the best stuff on hand :D

I am so glad you like this one and I thought it would be a great way to also help others and give someone a chance at a great box too :) You are an awesome seller and lady and friend to all <3

I know it's hard right now and everyone is struggling, Listia has been a true blessing to most of us and hope it continues for a long time. They have issues too but it is still worth being here. It has also help with Mystic Nature as far as getting the word and samples out for others to try and I can't wait until I can fully launch it. After it goes big I want to build a Charity Foundation to help those that need it.

I am very passionate about helping others so I want to do as much as I can. Not always easy, but every little helps :)

Aug 25th, 2010 at 5:02:54 PM PDT by

I will go ahead and add the link to my OOAK (one of a kind) Take Along Angels keychain painted by me :) http://www.listia.com/auction/738676 Would make a nice little Chirstmas gift.

Aug 25th, 2010 at 4:33:19 PM PDT by

Sounds awesome and thanks so much for posting it here. Wishing you the best of luck and hope it goes high for you :)

Aug 25th, 2010 at 4:57:40 PM PDT by

Hey why not bid along, not really sure as too what, or what is going on. But I bought a ticket for this ride. Not surprising I was out bid right away. So it is ok for us to list something we have listed? I have a dollar tree gift card, and Angel keychain that I painted myself ~ Take Along Angels. Would love someone to bid and win one of my hand painted angels.. Everyone needs an Angel or two!!

Aug 25th, 2010 at 4:17:24 PM PDT by

Hi There :) Thanks so much for stopping by. The whole idea here is to have others bid anf then they can post one of their own auctions to get others to see it, like advertising. This listing is also for a mystery box full of awesome items and I have done this for years now and the value of the box is always a lot more than expected with what I fill it with, so it's a win/win situation all around :) For your bid you are more than welcome to post one of your own or one of someone else's you think could use more bids :) I will do this again since so many like the idea and others have followed suit too, which I think is awesome. The more this can help get more bids the better :)

Aug 25th, 2010 at 4:57:01 PM PDT by

Boog wait on HOLD meaning it's on other bids lol sorry i didn't clarify it... But I hope to be back LOVE

Aug 25th, 2010 at 3:55:51 PM PDT by

LOL Boog, I know what you meant ;) I hope you do come back I would love to send you an awesome box, it's been a while :)

Aug 25th, 2010 at 4:53:18 PM PDT by

Hi boog I have my credits on hold But I hope to be back sweetie LOOKING Great here!!!! ;)

Aug 25th, 2010 at 3:55:22 PM PDT by

Awesome Boog and glad you are here. I get mine tied up all the time and a lot of the time I will make a small bid and then go back towards the end if it is a long auction time :)

Aug 25th, 2010 at 4:52:36 PM PDT by

Aug 25th, 2010 at 1:32:35 PM PDT by
