2010 charity auction

[lover-of-the-pepsi]

I got to help out with the auction last year, and found it to ba a lot of fun ^.^
My question is, can I do it again this year?

[Rathany]

What did you do at the auction last year?

[lover-of-the-pepsi]

I held up items and walked around so people could see them. I know it doesn't sound exciting, but I had fun seeing seeing all the cool stuff and all the people happy when they won the bid

Feel free to ask about volunteering once all my staff is in place   To be staff on charity auction would mean a bunch more work.

Yes! omg, that was HILARIOUS!!! I still have mine.....i got the vol. 2 edition  
I was really impressed at how cool some of the stuff was......and it wasn't untill after that i realised people probably thought i was trying to bring up the amount of money people offered for the items by bidding on stuff a lot......i swear that if i bid on something, it was because i really did want it, and if i let someone else have it it was because it went out of my price range  
Although.....in the end, i did end up getting a nifty kumoricon bag, so it was totally worth it.

Just out of curiosity.....what would staffing for the auction involve? and could i still do it?

Staff need to be 16.  Would you be by con?  Other than that, you'd need to be doing enough work on the auction to justify getting a staff badge.  This would either be pre-con orgizational/promotional work, or at con manning the booth in the dealer's hall and committing to helping at the auction.  Also, I would want to talk with any and all auction staff to make sure they know stuff* about how it needs to run: keeping track of how much lots went for, etc. 

*Stuff you'd need to know ... is something I am working on.  I am trying to pull together Standard Operating Proceedure books for all my departments.  I haven't started Charity's one yet, still working on Dealers   This year the auction will have pre-made forms and other things like that.

Oh I loved mocking them each time they came up.
