MDCC Sunday 29th Sept....Are you playing?

[ilove2patch]

I am giving it another go this month. Good luck to anyone who joins in.

[the-ginger-ninja]

Not sure what it will be yet but I will be joining in. 

[dazypichu]

Will find a few things to put up, haven't a clue what yet though...

I will give it another go this month......but will not be starting any items at 99p and all items bar one should fit into a large letter.  I really begrudge giving ebay 10% of my postage costs on top of FVF and paypal charges. Selling at 99p with £2.60 stamp cost leaves you with approx. 32p after charges. Selling at 99p with £1.10 stamp cost leaves you with approx. 51p after charges.

In future I may very well limit my charity fund raising to "the other place" although I will continue to bid on mdcc items (assuming there are any!)

Sorry to have to say all this as I really enjoy MDCC but every penny counts and at some stage I feel I must simply be pragmatic.

There will be kitty blankets, Xmas cards and perhaps something else.

I will have two cat beds with catnip mice & some other bits. I do understand what you are saying Purr. Ebay has got very greedy.

[anicarnia]

I'm in  (fingers crossed!).

[merc1_clocks]

I'm in...so sad if it dies a death

[captainbovine]

yes Merc, it will be a shame if it goes...ebay have gotten greedy, after all it was only a bit of fun to raise some money for charity....

I shall be perusing as usual.

Yes if we sell to 'one of us' it helps a lot. Non MDCC buyers need to pay the normal way though.

Will have a rummage in my goody box and see what I can come up with or maybe a trip into town will be needed but will try and source some goodies

That's good Cookie. I would never ask a non MDCC person to gift their payment though in case they report it to Ebay. Also some we think are non MDCC people are FGH'ers in their other clothes.

[cookiecookuk]

this thread seems very quiet.just thought i would bump it to the top.

[ilove2patch]

Well done. I hope it livens up towards the weekend. Off to my bed now. I have to be up at six!
