Yarnlympics (ends 26th August 7pm)

Read more ...

The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters recently yarnbombed post-boxes in Hertford & Ware to celebrate our own Yarnlympics; a tribute to the global sporting event taking place in Paris!

We are now pleased to offer some of these creations for auction. The auction will end on Mon 26th August at 7pm.

We are raising funds for: 

Hertfordshire Breast Cancer Appeal

The charity runs a dedicated breast unit in Hertfordshire, with the aim of supporting men and women affected by breast cancer

Please note:

  • not everything in the photograph may be included in the auction - most lots do not include the ‘skirt’ over the post-box.
  • auction items have been outside, in all weathers, for 3 weeks.
  • all auction items are decorations, NOT toys - they may have had wires and other potentially sharp items used in their construction.

NB. COLLECTION ONLY: All of these creations are unsuitable for posting and the winning bidder would need to collect from Hertford.

When bidding on an auction item, if you enter more than the minimum increment for an item then your bid will be used for proxy bidding. This is how it works:
1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
2. jumblebee places a bid on your behalf, using the minimum amount required to make you the highest bidder, i.e. current bid price plus bid increment OR the reserve price, if there is one and it can be covered by your proxy bid.
3. jumblebee continues to bid on your behalf, whenever you are outbid by another member's bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded or the auction is won.
4. jumblebee will notify you by email if your maximum bid is outbid by another member and provided the auction is still running, you will then have a chance to enter a new maximum bid if you wish.
For example:
The current bid on an auction item is £100. The minimum increment is £10. You enter a bid of £150 (your maximum bid).
Using your bid, but increasing only by the minimum increment, jumblebee sets the current bid to £110.
Another person bids £130 but they are immediately outbid by jumblebee bidding on your behalf and the current bid goes up to £140.
The auction finishes and you have won the auction item at a price of £140.
