QXL to launch NSPCC charity auction
Online auctions are turning out to be great places to find bargains, and next week one of the biggest auctions ever staged in the UK will take place on qxl.com, with all proceeds to the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
Money raised will help fund the NSPCC's "Full Stop" campaign supporting its bid to wipe out child abuse in one generation.
The auction begins 10 a.m. Monday 13 September, when Brit celebrities Melinda Messenger and Rodney Llewellyn (Q from the Bond movies) kick off the bidding. Bidding will end 8 pm 20 September. Auction expert qxl.com will provide auction facilities and Microsoft will help through its msn.co.uk portal. You will need to register with qxl.com if you want to take part in the bidding.
ZDNet UK and its sister site, GameSpot UK, are supporting the auction with £10,000 worth of free advertisements and two great "lots" which you can bid for.
