Hotel Packages Are Back On!!

The Starr Pass, AZ hotel package will be back on Ebay on Sunday, 25 October:

ITEM 30: 3 Nights & 2 Rounds of Golf @ JW Marriott Starr Pass Ebay #: 110449076083

You can find out more either by looking at the Item number listed on this blog, or go to the item on Ebay using the Ebay listing numbers.

I am waiting on varification to sell the other two hotel packages (Item 44: Florida and Item 45: Georgia).

These hotels were taken down by Ebay as I was not a verified travel seller. I varified for a limited time to sell the above hotel only. Sorry to anyone who bid on these hotels in the first place. Please bid again.

So far, the auction has raised over US$9,000.00 for the Blazeman Foundation for ALS. It has been very rewarding for myself and my charity and a big THANK YOU to all the people, athletes and companies who were so kind to donate. And another big THANK YOU to all those who supported the auction and bid to win some fantastic prizes.

Last day to bid!!

All the items in The Great Athlete Auction will be sold tomorrow on Ebay. That is except a few of the hotel packages, which were taken down by Ebay. I am going to put them back up as soon as I get varified to sell them. In the meantime, thank you to everyone for bidding and thank you.

Progress

Item 40 was won with a winning bid of $153.50. Thank you bidder!! Thats the good news. Bad news is that Ebay took down 2 of the donated hotel items as I am not a "Varified" Ebay Travel Seller. So I am working on getting this varification and then I will put these items back on Ebay at a later date. The items taken off are as follows:

Ebay listing #110440759999 - ITEM 44: A Two Night Stay at the Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk, Florida.
Ebay listing#110440761236 - ITEM 45: A Two Night Stay at the Georgian Terrace Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia.

Today's Donations: Items 52 & 53

ITEM 52: K-Swiss Shoe & Clothing Package. Thank you K-Swiss for you donation. http://www.kswiss.com/

What would be a triathlon auction without the inclusion of K-Swiss. K-Swiss is the shoe of choice by many professional triathletes including Terenzo Bozzone, Belinda Granger, Luke McKenzie, Gina Ferguson and myself. I love these shoes for racing and training. K-Swiss also has great athletic apparel that I find not only comfortable, but very fashionable. K-Swiss is donating a selection of shoes/product (1 pair of shoes, 1 top & shorts & 1 warm up jacket/pants) in the size and style of your choice (subject to availability) up to the value of US$700.00. "I personally endorse these products and would recommend." Ebay listing #110441833548.

ITEM 53: Leanda Cave Product Package. Thats me!! http://www.leandacave.com/.

I cant do a charity auction without including something from myself. So here is a bunch of items I put together: 2 signed race suits (I won Escape from Alcatraz 2008 in the blue one and came 2nd in 2008 Wildflower in the red); a signed Winners plaque from Ironman 70.3 Florida which I won in 2008 & 2009 (where I broke the course record); a pair of new OakleyBelong fashion sunglasses; a K-Swiss running hat; 2 pairs of BlueseventyVision goggles; a Blueseventy Headsweats visor; a Blueseventy "The Water is Open" running shirt (XS); and a Blueseventy neoprene Skull Cap (S).
