Tattoo mania for a good cause
Charity took on a whole new look when Tina from the Hutt Valley auctioned off a 9cm x 9cm tattoo on her bottom of the winner's design, with 20% of proceeds to a charity chosen by the winner.
Publicity went worldwide, there have been over 350,000 views on the auction and the winning bid of $12,450 went to a business that will use their logo as the design. Tina is using the rest of the money to pay off her debts after being made redundant twice last year and for a trip to Aussie to visit her mum.
At last check there were a bunch of copycat tattoo charity auctions on the site.
Fancy a Fiji cruise?
In time for Valentine's Day, Auckland Cancer Society has a bunch of cool auctions listed with us. Everything from a trip to Fiji, including a cruise around the Yasawa Islands, to a brand new Holden Barina, as well as a range of awesome products - with all proceeds going to the Cancer Society Auckland. So get bidding now for a great cause!

Get selling and become a Top Seller
Did you know we have a Top Seller programme that offers qualifying sellers a 15% discount on all auction fees, discounts on using Pay Now for payments and free phone support?
One Top Seller, gcgcgc2, has found an ingenious way of increasing his sales and keeping his Top Seller status - he links his own website and all the sales from it to his Trade Me account.
TIP: You can visit our Seller acceleration centre for more info on growing your sales towards becoming a Top Seller.
