Coming Soon Charity The Pig

This pig’s name is Charity and she is trying to raise money for the Porcupine Foundation. She will soon be on eBay as part of our partnership with a local charity. She promises to add a stylish look to your child’s bedroom and help them save money. She also wants you to help other children who are sick or injured. By bidding on Charity you are helping many children’s organizations through the Porcupine Foundation. You can find Charity in our upcoming auctions by going to www.sellitnowstore.com and clicking on the Our Auctions link. We will update everyone when she is available.

This will be charity auction with 85% of the proceeds of this auction are going towards the Porcupine Foundation.

"The Porcupine Foundation was established in memory of our 11-month-old son who died unexpectedly in July 1998. Because Shane's brief presence here on Earth had such a profound impact on all who knew him, we wanted to celebrate his life and honor his memory in a permanent fashion. The Porcupine Foundation, an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is dedicated to keeping Shane's spirit alive through fundraising efforts that benefit worthy children's causes. It is our sincere hope that you will join the "Porcupine Community" so that the little boy with the hair that stood straight on end (hence the nickname "Porcupine" - thanks to big brother Keegan) remains indelible in our hearts.

Great Story in Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

We had a great story in the Journal Sentinel today on Phishing that featured our store. Hopefully the article helps educate the public on various scams:

Beware of Scammers

It seems like we have talked to a large number of folks who were in jeopardy of being scammed through Craigslist. Remember the following:

• if something sounds too good to be true, it is usually because it is
• never wire funds via Western Union or Moneygram
• never give out your financial information
• never provide your eBay, PayPal, bank account, social security or credit card information in an e-mail
• don't be afraid to ask questions or ask for help
