Charity auctions are over….

Well, I have to be honest. I was disappointed with the way that my T-shirt and sweatshirt auctions went. Quite a few of the shirts didn’t even sell for the 99 cents that I started them at, and a few of them sold for exactly 99 cents.

Even with the incentive that the auctions were being held in the name of charity, it just didn’t spark much interest. So I have decided to err on the side of generosity. I am going to donate all of the shipping and handling money that was paid as well, to help increase what the SFSPCA will be receiving this month.

That said, I think this is a pretty nice sized donation to make. But seeing that number and knowing that how little some of the shirts sold for, it would have been nice to raise up closer to $500.
