The 2010 MOONRIDGE AUCTION is now CLOSED, and we have a total!
Auction Connect Notices for WON items are finished and complete lists have gone to the wonderful folks who donated items for the Special Auction. If you haven't been contacted by the person who donated either the item you won, paid for and sent me the receipt copy, or the Special Items you signed up for, paid and sent me the receipt copy, do the following: · Check your Spam folder
SPECIAL/CLAIM/ANIMAL ADOPTIONS Because the Zoo suffered so much this winter, I'm leaving all special items/animal adoptions and those few items that received no bids, open. The items with no bids are on sale and can be found here: http://gmfor-moonridge.livejournal.com/14538.html All rules still apply as far as payment is concerned (read the FAQ below) and for the sale items, it's first email, first served. My email is, as always: To all the fans who supported this auction by donating items, bidding, buying, and claiming. Thank you to all the fans who helped advertise the auction and their items faithfully via their journals, websites and lists. You are the best and prove it every year. God Bless you all! A special thanks as always to those brave women who forward my announcement emails to all the lists I'm not on, but they are, for helping me load what turned out to be almost 200 items this year to The Free Auction Site and for being the brilliant women they are:
And the final Moonie:
(aka, cluesby4) Who makes our wonderful website a reality year after year, and makes it more beautiful, year after year. *** UPDATED FAQ
How do I pay? You have only three choices: Paypal Check Money Order If you choose Paypal - you will be sending the money DIRECTLY to Moonridge via this email addy: In the comment section of Paypal, type in the following: "FOR THE MOONRIDGE ONLINE CHARITY AUCTION IN GARETT MAGGARTS NAME." Since I need to know what you're paying for, please include the GM# in either the comment section or add it/them into your email to me. I can't apply the money if I don't know what you're paying for! J Once you've paid, you'll receive confirmation from Paypal and again, you MUST send a copy to me in order to be marked as paid in order to receive your item/s. Remember, this auction is FAN RUN and the burden of tracking who pays can't be placed on Moonridge! If you choose to pay with either a check or money order, make it out to: "Friends of the Moonridge Zoo" and include the following at the bottom of the check: "MOONRIDGE AUCTION IN GARETT MAGGARTS NAME." Again, add a short note with the check/money order outlining everything you're paying for and don't forget to include a correct email - especially if different from whatever you may have used during the auction. REMEMBER: Do NOT mail it to Moonridge - again, it's not their burden to track the payments. You MUST mail it directly to me at: Allison French 30751 El Corazon #225 Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. 92688
What constitutes "Proof of Payment"? When you pay via paypal, they will send you confirmation. You must forward that confirmation to me. Please remember to include your address on your paypal as Moonridge sends out thank you notes! Again, if paying via check or money order, those come to me first. I then log that you've paid. All checks and money orders will be hand-delivered on June 21st. NOTE: If you've sent your check/money order and haven't heard from me for a few days, give me an email to ensure that I received it. How long do I have to pay? You must immediately for any items now that the auction is over. How will I know when to "give" the winning item/s to the lucky individual/s? If the item/s were won by the highest bidder/s at thefreeauction.com site: Once the winner has paid and I have proof of said payment, I will send out a single email called the "Connect Notice". This goes to you and is copied to your winner. Once you receive it, you must take the initiative and reply to your winner and start the communication process. NOTE: if only their name shows on your email from me, simply right click on their name, highlight 'properties' and that will give you the precise email address. If you choose to simply hit 'reply all', please remember to REMOVE my addy from the email. If the item/s were on the Special Auction or a Claim Auction: I will send out ONE email (once payments have been confirmed) to you ( the originator of the donation) with a list of everyone who either donated for your item, or claimed your item. This email will include their email addys. Once you receive my email, it's YOUR responsibility to take the next step and contact them with the information required, ie: web site URL, password, whatever. Copy me in any communication that confirms the winners have received your information. How long must an author or artist wait to post any stories or artwork to the public after the auction? The winners have sole proprietary use of the story/s or artwork for 30 days (although the author can give sole use of the story/s to winner/s for a longer period of time, but that must be part of the blurb). Only with permission of the winner/s can anything be posted earlier. How can I adopt an animal? Photos and descriptions of all the animals will remain up until further notice. Go to the "ANIMAL ADOPTIONS" tab and click. Once you've decided which animal/s you want to adopt, simply follow the same payment rules as outlined above, but for commenting, add the name/s of the animal/s. Once Moonridge has received your paypal or check, they'll send you an adoption certificate accompanied by a photo, BUT you must make sure you've included YOUR address on your paypal receipt or check! DEFINITIONS: .Biddable Auction Item: This is a one of a kind item that you want people to bid on. It can be a story, a work of art, a zine package, memorabilia, whatever. When the auction item closes on the 4th, the highest bidder will be awarded the item. These items can be viewed before the auction starts at our website, but can only be bid on at thefreeauction.com site and all items will start with the same price: $15. You must register at thefreeauction.com site before the auction begins. The site is completely free for us to use. Special Auction Item: This is something that can go to everyone who donates a set amount of money or to a set number of people who donate a specific amount (as low as only $5) of money to Moonridge. These items will only be found at our website. Claim Auction Item: This is an item you want and you're willing to donate a specific amount of money to Moonridge if someone will accept your claim. You can ask for certain stories, icons, cover art for your stories, etc. If someone accepts your claim, I notify you, you pay, then I connect you to the person who is willing to give you what you've requested. These items are only found at our website. Animal Adoption: This gives you a chance to be a part of the zoo by adopting (helping to care, feed and house an animal via your monetary donation) one of the animals presented at our website.
