Some important details:
1. The auction video will be pre-recorded, and the bidding will happen in the LIVE CHAT feature. A card will appear that says Start Bidding! and then you'll have 90 seconds to bid before the Stop Bidding! card appears.
2. There is often a lag between the video and the chat, so please do not wait until the last second to bid - you may miss out! We have a moderator who will announce the winning bid, and their decision is final.
3. Each item has a minimum starting bid of $75 (although most of these have a FAR higher value) and we are asking everyone to bid in $5 increments. The goal is to raise as much $$ as possible so we can help as many people as possible!
4. Buyer pays shipping. For buyers in the US, we estimate between $30 and $40 depending on size and weight. For the pieces that are being shipped from Europe or Australia, the shipping is estimated at around $80. You will be given an exact quote before you pay. The same will be true for our international buyers as well.
5. If you win, we will ask you to email the following information: Your name, mailing address, item #, winning bid amount, and your PayPal email. If you do not have a PayPal account, you can log in as a guest and pay via credit card, just like you would with any other online transaction.
Please send this information to: DisasterReliefArtAuction@gmail.com
6. After we receive this information, the artist will get an exact shipping quote, and you will receive this information before paying.
7. If you win multiple bids, you will receive a combined quote so you only have to pay once.
Some special thank you's:
To: @thislittlepiggy3349 and Fluid Art Co for sponsoring with the limited release of TLP Benevolence! They are donating $5 from the sale of each jar and have already raised over $7,000! Get your TLP Benevolence before it is retired and gone forever by visiting fluid-art.co
Fluid Art Co also produced our intro clip for our collaboration videos, rallied the troops and their assistance has been invaluable in many, many ways!
T0: Lee Masse from @MasseArtStudio for doing the VoiceOver in the intro video!
To: @MinaVillegasArt for creating the beautiful thumbnails used in all of our videos!
To: @TreesieParadisArt for collecting all of the information from our winning bidders, communicating directly with them on shipping quotes and setting up the gmail and PayPal accounts to process all of the transactions!
To: Tanveva @bakermodernart for being our fearless moderator during the auction!
To: Karen Durishin @WaterfallAcrylics for all of your expertise and ideas in setting up the processes and best practices for online auctions. She also created THIS video AND the auction video! I simply cannot thank you enough - you are a ROCK STAR!
To: All of the amazingly brilliant artists who donated your time, skills and materials to create these beautiful masterpieces. I am humbled and honored to be included beside you.
Finally - I want to thank all of the artists all over the world who contacted me offering to donate their art to this cause. I was literally inundated with messages from kind souls who wanted to help. It absolutely killed me to turn you away, but this had already grown into a much bigger project than I had anticipated. In these dark and uncertain times, YOU give me hope that there are still good people out there, and we are stronger when we work together. THANK YOU!
If you have additional questions, please email me directly at natebright1@gmail.com and I will respond as soon as possible!
NOW - let's do this and raise lots of $$$!!!
