Description

The listing, Count The Beads!! Bring Back the Fun #1 has ended.

Part of my new series: Bring Back Fun to Listia!!

Bidding starts at 1 cent!! (Never done that except when i joined listia almost 3 years back and didn't know better!! Aaah - those were the days, my friend!!

This 14 day auction gives you a chance to guess with EVERY BID YOU MAKE how many beads there are in the compartment of the day (day 1 - how many beads in compartment 1 etc.)
*Each day, the beads in the compartment will be added to the auction no matter what the bids,
BUT If you guess it right, I'll add an extra fun item to the auction on that day!!

The value of the extra item will be equal or greater than the high bid at the time the right guess is made.

This is a growing auction and I will also add extra items with growing bids, etc.

Item 1: This huge lot of great beads that are excellent for crafting!! Over 500 for sure! I estimated based on counting the smallest box!! Would be a fun summer activity! Hint: section 15 contains 15 beads; all other have more than that and the total exceeds 500!!

Day 1: Bid and guess how many beads in compartment 1. Will let whoever guess suggest a category or fun item (cards, stickers, health & Beauty samples, stamps, coins, jewelry, charms, real gem bead (YES!!) etc. Post your guess in the comments!!

Beads are acrylic!! Box is not included and is for display only!

Questions & Comments

I miss the old listia and when auctions were fun to watch and prices were low. This is a fun auction thanks for sharing

Yes I do too! These prices are so confusing and small timers end up losing a lot and paying a lot for shipping! That's why i've switched to GIn for many of my listings but even tho those have value the higher ticket price look too expensive :( So I thought it's time for some fun! So glad you also try to make your auctions fun :)

Want to have some fun! Put in a bid or become a new fan and guess the number of beads in day 6 of the auction. See the close up pictures before you place your bid. Just add a comment: "I am a new fan and my bid for day/compartment 6 is 3_!

Fantastic Auction my dear Friend ♡♡

Jul 10th, 2017 at 4:53:22 PM PDT by

Thank you! You're such a sweetheart!!!!

Jul 10th, 2017 at 6:41:45 PM PDT by

If you're a new fan, make a guess on the number of beads in the last picture shown - don't be shy :)

Jul 7th, 2017 at 9:05:23 PM PDT by

cross stitch has been added :)

Jul 16th, 2017 at 9:13:16 AM PDT by

Good guess Jeffreyo671! Not quite there! But in fairness, I hadn't put a closeup picture so you can try to guess again how many beads are there in the Day 2 Compartment! Unless someone outbids you before you can, lol!

Jul 3rd, 2017 at 7:51:36 AM PDT by

Today is July 4th, the 3rd day of this auction. You can guess the number of beads in section 3 of the beads box today! Either watch the auction or put in a bid and make a free guesstimate on the number of beads in section 3. The beads will be added into the auction at the end of the day, no matter what. BUT if any of you guess the right number of beads, I will add an EXTRA item whose value will be equal to or over the highest bid at that time!! Enjoy, have fun and thanks for stopping by!!

Jul 4th, 2017 at 1:47:04 PM PDT by

tekelwitham, you can add two guesses for raising the bar! Remember, the hint is how low can you go when you are in the range!

Jul 5th, 2017 at 8:59:03 PM PDT by
