Have 3 cats - 2 which probably need to go to the vet. (One needs to be
fixed). Now, this wasn't a

problem a year ago - where a $100+ vet visit could fit in the budget. But I
am on Disability. And

the government has seen fit to lower the ole income. Now - I am not out
begging - I am trying to

supplement my income.

The Doctor's say I can't work - but: I am trying to auction off all things
of value (going for

the Japanese sort of apartment look :}~) Ergo, at least I'm not begging. And
proceeds will go

towards various non-profit groups that look for a cure of my main condition.

Anyways - here's how it works:

My current auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5591689535

And if you want to help support without a contribution, please click this
link:
http://cgi1.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MakeTrack&item=5591689535

The more people that click the above link, the more publicity the auction
gets on EBay. My last

auction worked, but didn't get much money - oh well - it's a learning
experience. Bidding is also

welcome. And - if you are from Washington state (within the Seattle area) we
can save on shipping

with local pickup (just email me from the auction page about this
newsgroup - etc.)

Feedback would be great also - you can email from the auction page. If you
could contact anyone else that might be interested, it would also be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks so much for your time, I learn a lot from the posts in this group.

Let's see, your cats need to see a vet, you're pleading poverty, trying to
supplement income and yet you say the proceeds will go to various
non-specified charities rather than the care of your
cats??????????????????????????? I'm not buying it. And I sure as hell would
never click on a link to Ebay from a post in a news group.

I'm not pleading poverty - if you read the auction - you will see what it's
about. And 15% goes towards National Spasmodic Torticollis Association
(which is what I have, and is very underfunded). I have 3 cats - my income
was lowered just this month. I am doing the best I can - and there is
nothing wrong with trying to respectfully earn money.

Sorry you feel that way, hope others don't necessarily. I also completed
another auction - where 20% went to Parkinson's. I will keep doing it as the
needs seem to grow - it is how I can earn money - while Doc says can't work.

Thanks for your time.

I wish you the best of luck with your disability, your auctions, and your
kitties. Is there anyway your vet will accept payments if you explain your
situation? How about any agencies in your area that may help with vet care
if you're unable to afford it?

Thanks for being kind - some others have accused me - I've sold $200 items
with glowing feedback (and they paid by Paypal). I have 2 id's, just started
this one for selling. I have a lot going on right now - if you read the
auction - trying to juggle the best I can.

Thanks for your support, and your kind words.

If you want anyone to help you in here, give us the name of your vet and
perhaps someone can donate directly to them. I doubt you'll get much out of
here any other way.

Good luck!

What kind of fraud is someone up to if they are using two diffrrent
ids? If you're looking for positive fieedback you stick with one
ID that people can look at the ratings for.

This should be good when you try to explain why you need to have
two IDS for ebay.

I notice this ID you're using has 100% positive feecback. I suppose
the second ID has all the negative feedback.

Check with your local Humane Society and Anti-Cruelty Societys. Some offer
discount vet visits for people who qualify (by income). I know the one
Anti-Cruelty Chicago for instance has $15 spay/neuters and everyone
qualifies for that.
