Good Samaritan Award: Queenstown Motel Apartments October 26, 2009
Posted by Michael Carney in : auctions, charity auction, trade me, trademe , trackback
One of the neatest things about Trade Me — and after five years of studying the site, it still blows us away — is the way the Trade Me community helps others. Apart from the Community Noticeboards, where you’ll constantly find veterans offering advice to newcomers, you’ll also find a steady stream of charity auctions flowing through the site.
One that just caught our eye — sadly, too late to help market the auction but certainly time enough to offer a well-deserved bouquet to the organiser — was this auction for a truly wonderful visit to our jewel of the South Pacific, Queenstown.
On offer: “Three days of pure pleasure, action and scenic packed days at Queenstown for 2 people”
All money raised to be donated to the New Zealand Red Cross Samoan Earthquake and Tsunami Appeal www.redcross.org.nz
