katekintail | Silent Auction

Hey, everybody! My local BookCrossing group is raising start-up funds for our upcoming convention in Washington, DC. So we're doing a silent auction with some awesome themed boxes you can bid on. You don't have to be a BookCrosser to win; you don't even have to live in the US.

The boxes are really neat, and I thought some of you might be interested in them. Up right now is the Books to Movies box, where you get a copy of the book and a copy of the movie on DVD (so you can enjoy both and see which you like better). You also get movie theater-type snacks. (The current bid is $31. For 5 books, 5 DVDs, and goodies, that's a steal!)

Starting after midnight tonight, there's the Harry Potter box--with tons of great Harry Potter items including a poster I'm told goes for $50-$65 on eBay, a book autographed by Pottercast's Melissa Anelli, Harry Potter LEGO, bookmarks, a Scene-it DVD game, Ministry of Magic Wizard Rock CD, and more. Starting bid on that is $15

Some of the other boxes include a beach lover's box, baby shower box, a cooking box, a sampling of 1001 books to read before you die, a Visit D.C. box, and a box perfect for curling up on the couch and reading.

You can find all the details, including detailed descriptions, photos, and the full schedule here: http://www.bcindc.zoiks.org/?page_id=13

Please consider bidding to help us out if there's something that catches your eye. And if you know of someone in your life or your flist who would be interested in bidding on them as well, please send the link and spread the word!
