I'm Lonely. Please Read Me! YearlyKos Auction Preview! Git yer sneak peeks!

Lucky you!

You happen to be reading Daily Kos while I'm testing some stuff out for tomorrow's launch of the next and final round of fundraising auctions for the YearlyKos Convention 2007!

Here they are, folks!  Make a note of what you're interested in, because the bidding will start fast and furious tomorrow evening.

If you click through to any of the individual links to the eBay listings, please note: you will be unable to see the individual eBay listings until the auction start time listed.

PS
We're also working on 2 pair of Live Earth tickets, but we're still fighting with eBay to get permission to list them.

  •  YAY!

    Looking in sofa cushions for coins of the realm.  Thanks!!

    by noweasels on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 04:34:14 PM PDT

  •  HPE Ebay says invalid item

    Something is wrong with the yarn ebay listings I cannot get the items up. Ebay says "This listing has been removed"

    by arkdem on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 05:19:00 PM PDT

  •  Mojo, Shmojo... RECOMMEND THIS DIARY!

    Mojo dispensed (all snark aside) and, more importantly, diary recommended -- get this into the Rec List to help make YK2007 a success!

    by wanderindiana on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 07:02:52 PM PDT

•  Wowsa!

  That is a dynamite collection--there are several things that I MUST HAVE!

  Thanks so much to the donors, you guys are a creative and interesting group.  And thanks to the auction organizers for bringing it together.

  by mem from somerville on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 04:21:18 PM PDT

  •  I hope the things you must have

    aren't the same things I think I must have :>)

    by Thestral on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 06:26:30 PM PDT

    •  Ykos

      hopes they are!!!

      by paddykraska on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 06:44:13 PM PDT

•  the custom rolled...

  ...Dungeons and Dragons character is one of the most oddly interesting items I've seen for a Yearly Kos auction.

  by justalittlebitcrazy on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 04:26:50 PM PDT

  •  Thank you (n/t)

    by Moody Loner on Mon Jun 18, 2007 at 04:19:43 PM PDT

•  Please note the donors

  I highly encourage getting (and linking) to the eBay listings via the auction tracking pages (linked to in the diary) because that's where we're able to thank the donors by listing their names/businesses/sites, etc.

  If you see a link to the donor's personal or business site, please click through to it and show them your appreciation.

  by hyperbolic pants explosion on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 04:26:52 PM PDT

  •  it sounds like it is time

    for me to donate my copy of "This Moment on Earth" signed by both John and Theresa Heinz Kerry. I still have the auction-submission form, will get that filled out.

    by raines on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 04:40:29 PM PDT

    •  Hang on to it for a few more months...

      This is actually the last round of auctions for 2007.

      But I'm sure we'll be gearing up for the 2008 auctions around December/January.

      I'd be very excited to offer that book for auction!

      by hyperbolic pants explosion on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 04:46:52 PM PDT

  •  Uh, the ebay site link requires registration

    which is unusual for browsing purposes. So I tried looking for "stoneware" to match one of the ykos items.

    Didn't find it. Is it me? Or could you provide links to each item?

    by MrSandman on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 05:11:27 PM PDT

    •  The auctions haven't started yet

      You won't be able to see them until they start tomorrow.

      by hyperbolic pants explosion on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 05:18:44 PM PDT

      •  Oh ignore my post above sorry N/T

        by arkdem on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 05:19:59 PM PDT

      •  So I was wrong. Again.

        But after voting for Gore and Kerry, this was cautious optimism. Wish we could have a look the day after we have made a decision to buy when it comes to elections.

        by MrSandman on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 05:39:10 PM PDT

•  Those are some really exciting

  auctions planned there. I'm lusting after the yarn myself.

  by shayera on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 04:31:42 PM PDT

•  The cool ties are,

  well, a cool idea. Great stuff up for auction, this is going to be good.

  by citizenx on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 04:33:08 PM PDT

•  Share the love

  bid early and often!

  by Frankenoid on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 04:41:25 PM PDT

•  I'm off to buy a lottery ticket

  so I can get all this stuff.

  by citizenx on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 04:49:24 PM PDT

•  Oh, I've been meaning to ask.

  Did someone really pay several thousand dollars for the scarflast time?

  by mem from somerville on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 05:11:03 PM PDT

  •  Yep. It was for real!

    Pretty amazing!

    by hyperbolic pants explosion on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 05:20:14 PM PDT

    •  Hot damn.

      Geez, I better go out and buy a lottery ticket too....

      by mem from somerville on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 05:25:26 PM PDT

•  But where's the autographed kitty picture? n/t

  by barbwires on Sat Jun 16, 2007 at 05:27:34 PM PDT

•  OK, I gotta go

  My cable modem's been dead all week, and will continue to be dead for another week, so I've been doing all this from internet cafes.

  Nothing like trying to make a cup of coffee last 4 hours!

  Actually today, I've been here for 8+ hours.  I've had 2 sandwiches, 2 iced teas, and 1 coffee.

  Someone else will be along to post the actual auction launch diary tomorrow evening, I assume.

  Get your bidding fingers ready!

  'Night all!
