AUSXIP Charity Auction: I've been working on getting the auction site restored from the backup - haven't been doing alot to it since the auction ended. Now that 98% of the payments have reached Starship, I decided to work on it. If you have received another "you have won" email from me. Please ignore it (unless you havent paid yet in which case, it's gentle reminder) <g>

Starship has sent in confirmation of payments up to Friday. Shipping of items will begin on Monday. I can safely say the site is back up and operational now.

Starship has been inundated with money. This is a good thing! Let's give them some extra work especially after the Easter break. I'm sure Jenni at Starship will love that <g>

Starship has sent the spreadsheet of payments received and it makes for some happy reading.

If you have paid between 28 March to 3 April (morning), your payment has been received. I will process the spreadsheet and match it to our one and then shipping of the items will begin. The matchup should be completed by the end of the week.

Special thanks to those who donated without winning. Much appreciated!

If you won an item and have received an email (please check your spam folder) or contact me on feedback @ ausxip.com

The 2013 AUSXIP Charity Auction has ended for another year. Usually the auction brings with it a few surprises - always good but this year, it brought about a few nasty ones as well.

First let's start with the good news: This year's AUSXIP Charity Auction has raised $13,383.06 NZ$ for Starship. That is even when the site was difficult to reach (see below for the bad news about that) but people were still trying!

I would like to thank Lucy Lawless for being so generous with her time in signing goodies, donating items and supporting the AUSXIP Charity Auction.

Mega thanks also to Campbell Cooley, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Adrienne Wilkinson, Erin Cummings, Viva Bianca, Crystal Chappell and the cast of Venice, and Sasha Alexander and the cast of Rizzoli & Isles.

Thank you goes to all those who donated items and those who bid and/or won.

It's getting down to the final 2.5 days of the AUSXIP Charity Auction. There so many goodies - some as low as $5. 100% of the money raised at the end of the auction will go the Starship Foundation.

Here's the complete list of items!
