DesiPundit Indibloggies Prizes Auction

As we did last year, DesiPundit is again auctioning off its prizes won at the Indibloggies. the proceeds will be donated in entirety to Magic Bus, a nonprofit charitable organization that conducts developmental activities for children and young adults through the outdoors and sports [hat tip: Confused.] The prizes are as follows:

Enter your bid amount either for one or more or all items in the comments below [no email bids, please.] In case, you are bidding for one or more item, please ensure that you quote equal or more than the value of the item. The auction ends on Thursday, April 5th 2007 at 11:59pm CST. The sponsors prefer if you are in India but we’ll see what we can do to ship items to the U.S. or elsewhere. So bid away!

Not-so-fine Print: DesiPundit will neither receive any money nor deliver the prizes. The person making the winning bid will donate the amount to Magic Bus either to its Indian or the international address [you can pay online] and email us the receipt. We’ll then put you in touch with Debashish, the organizer of Indibloggies who will ship the prize or forward your address to the sponsor.

This has been a fabulous ritual for Desipundit, and I mean both: Winning at Indibloggies :) and giving back to the society. Kudos to your efforts people! (Just to clarify that the prizes would only be shipped to Indian destinations by the sponsors.)

Um, just to clarify: my bid for a $25 gift voucher should be $25 or more?

Madman, yes. If no one bids up your initial $25 then you wouldn’t lose anything and Magic Bus gets $25 in cash instead of a gift coupon.

Prashant, I had hoped I should offer DesiPundit readers the first opportunity for getting these prizes. If no one bids then, I might open it up on eBay (prefer not to coz of shipping limitations)
