As part of Save Our Seabirds week (12 - 18 October 2009), BLSA is selling 10 photographs, selected as the finalists of the BLSA photographic competition, and currently displayed in the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town. The proceeds from the bidorbuy auctions, which close on 14 October, will go towards raising money for future seabird research.
Books Etc regularly sells rare and valuable books for the benefit of the Children's Feeding Trust, which finances the feeding of about 4000 children in the Port Elizabeth region. According to Veronica Nance from Books Etc, the exposure on website made a big difference, “We have recorded the best-ever funding amounts in September for our bookshop section thanks to bidorbuy.” Since they registered on the site in June this year, Books Etc have sold 42 items. In that time, they reckon they have built an excellent reputation on the site, achieving a 100% positive feedback rating from the buyers for the quality of their merchandise and the excellence of their service. Now, Books Etc has 56 books listed for sale on bidorbuy.
The website has always been ready to host auctions and sales for fundraising purposes and it is claimed that many charities and non-profit organisations have found it a good platform for increasing their visibility and raising funds. Visit www.bidorbuy.co.za for more details.
