The Starship Spring Clean is under way
We're stoked to be supporting the Starship Spring Clean, which went live on Trade Me this week and is going for the month of September. It's a new way for us to help out one of New Zealand's most awesome organisations, the Starship Children’s Hospital.
There are 3 things involved: list an item (preferably at $1 reserve), pledge to donate auction proceeds to Starship, then donate once the item is sold.
It’s a win-win: while cleaning out your cupboards, you’ll also be raising money for a great cause – the major rebuild of the Level 6 Neurological and Medical Specialty Wards at Starship Children’s Hospital.
Starship has also managed to secure a smorgasbord of goodies from their celebrity friends and corporate partners - and all of these things are up for sale as part of the Spring Clean. Check their listings out here.
Anyone who sells an item through Starship Spring Clean and donates the proceeds to Starship will be refunded their auction success fees by Trade Me. Note that this doesn't mean you can be cheeky and sell an item for $500, then only donate a measly $1 to Starship. We won't refund the success fees where people are taking the mickey. You should aim to donate as close to 100% as you can.
So, from here, you should get cracking and bid on a Spring Clean item in the store, or start your very own Spring Clean auction.
