. . .we also received a wonderful pet sitting gift certificate from Greenman
Pet Services (serving San Jose, Campbell, or Santa Clara), and a Reiki session
in Pacifica. There are too many to list here. The goodies just keep comin'!
I have received a few inquiries about pre-bidding. I have a full list of items
that you can preview upon request. If you want details on a given item, I can
then provide them with the retail price and minimum bid amount. You give me
your top price, and I'll do my best to make sure your bid gets on the sheet up
to your maximum amount.
You may be outbid, of course. That's why you should come to the party! ;-)
