When I returned from Comic Con 2012, a lot of exclusive swag came with me. Last year I gave that swag away but this year I decided to auction it and a few other assorted items off for a good cause.
Running True Blood Fan Source has allowed me to travel to some pretty incredible places and along the way I also pick things up that I plan on giving away later. But lately, I’ve come to the conclusion that I have a lot more True Blood related items than I need. Not to mention they take up space. I also have a couple of handbags in my personal collection that I have never used and never will so why not auction them off and give them to people who will use them?
I’ve decided to donate the proceeds of these auctions to Kristin Bauer van Straten’s (Pamela Sywnford de Beaufort) Out for Africa Kickstarter campaign because I know what funds are raised from this will go to good use. So what am I auctioning off?
- Comic Con 2012 True Blood Panel Complete Swag Bag with Rare Pam Trading Card Signed by Kristin Bauer
- Comic Con 2012 Fringe Fedora
- Comic Con 2011/2012 Exclusive Oversized Totes: Superman: Man of Steel, Big Bang Theory, Thundercats
- Comic Con 2011 Mixed True Blood/Game of Thrones Swag Bag with Entertainment Weekly Collectible Cover of Kristin
- Care a Little More Necklace Designed by Kristin Bauer and made by Cadsawan Jewelry with Entertainment Weekly Cover of Alexander Skarsgård (Eric Northman)
- Juicy Couture Rainbow Canvas Bow Tote
- Pan Am Explorer Bag
Everything with the exception of the Pan Am bag is available for shipment internationally and in an effort to keep costs low, if someone chooses to buy multiple items I will ship them for the cost of one of the items since everything is flat rate. International buyers need to check with me in this regard so I can give them the right quote. There are weight restrictions of 4lbs for international priority mail packages.
All auctions are no reserve which means I’ve set the price to something I will be content with if the item gets 1 bid. This for me is not about trying to raise a ton of money. If everything sells for the starting price, the total just over $300. It’s about helping out just a little bit more and taking things I’d normally sell or giveaway and contribute to something much bigger than me.
If you haven’t seen Kristin’s awesome Kickstarter yet, go visit it here.
The auctions will begin at 12:00PM PDT today 5 minutes apart and end next Monday August 6th. To visit the auctions, please click here starting at 12:00PM on July 30. The photos of what I’m auctioning off can be found below.
