CanTeen Bandanna Challenge
Kev the kiwi has his bandanna tied tight for the CanTeen Bandanna Challenge, which runs for the next two weeks.
The bandanna is a symbol of hope and courage for the thousands of young New Zealanders living with cancer. Between 14 – 30 September, CanTeen sells specially-designed bandannas that you can pick up from major retailers, community groups, in shopping malls and on the streets.
For more information, visit the team over at the Official CanTeen website.

List at $1 reserve and get free Gallery!
Spring is almost here and it’s the perfect time to have a clean-out. We’d like to help you out, so all general items auctions with $1 as the start and reserve price will have free Gallery* from Sunday 2 September.
The Gallery feature is a great way to get more eyes on your listing, and combined with $1 reserve you’ll attract more bids and increase the chances of getting a good price for your item. We held a similar promotion last year and it was a great success for both sellers and buyers.
So get cracking and list those weird and not so weird knick-knacks that have been hanging about since who-knows-when, and enjoy our spring Gallery feature promotion right through until 11:59pm on Tuesday 16 October. More...
