The Auctions Are Done! Thanks to the Crustacean Nation, and especially International Stacker, the total amount raised for Fun Coast Downs Syndrome Association is

$2750.00!!!!!

Hello. For transparency, I'm going to post exactly where all the money goes for these auctions, if anyone is interested. I hadn't sold anything on Ebay in probably 10 years, as their fees had become too high to make it worth doing. Unfortunately, when I thought about auctioning these Crab Rollos for charity, Ebay was the only way I could think of doing it, to make it so more people could have a chance at getting one. Sorry if you had to create an Ebay login just to get a chance to bid. If someone comes up with a better idea, shoot me an email and let me know. Not sure how I'm going to post this, I have the data in an Excel spreadsheet, but I'll do my best. Note: The seed money I started with to buy these Crab Rollos comes back to me, and I will use it in another venture to raise money for Fun Coast. So $89.00 from each sale comes back to me. Then Ebay has their fees, which includes payment fees, and then there is the shipping cost, which was about $7.00 last time I was selling stuff, it went up drastically.

Note: I'm trying to show exactly where all the money goes, I wish other charities would do this. I want to make sure everything is accurate, if anyone finds a mistake, please email me at hoyaguru@mydct.com.

Total proceeds going to Fun Coast after all of the regular Crab Rollo auctions: $2627.07. I'm going to bump it up to $2750.00. When I receive a receipt from Fun Coast, I will post it here.

Note: The 11th auction is the Crab Rollo I am keeping for myself, I am using the average of the proceeds from all of the other auctions to come up with what I am donating.

Note 2: The 5th auction was for two Crab Rollos, so I split the fees between Auction 5 and Auction 6 above. This didn't help a whole lot with Ebay's fees, but it sure helped out with the shipping cost.

Note 3: Auctions 7 and 8 were won by the same person, so I was able to put both items into the same package and save money on shipping. I split the actual cost in half to put it into the spreadsheet. Ditto for auctions 9 and 10.
