Donated Stuff...please help!!
I have a dilemma!! Please read and offer any advice. TIA!!
I am a volunteer and fundraiser for Companion Animal Network (CAN). We are having a golf tournament in October that I am raising money for. Instead of just asking friends and family and co-workers for donations, I am selling cards made from SU! product. I emailed them asking for a specific donation of paper and ink that I am using to make 75 sets of 8 cards. I called to follow up and the guy at SU! said it was approved and that it was on its way. I got a huge box today...full of nothing that I asked for. I called SU! and asked about this, in case my request got mixed up. The guy there said that they don't take specific requests, but rather throw a goodie box together and ship it off. So....now I have all this stuff (16 stamp sets-all but one retired), punches, sticker sheets, etc... I want to sell it to either buy the paper I need to make the fundraiser cards or just flat donate to CAN. What is the best way to sell all these things. A friend (and demo) of mine suggested a silent auction at my house, that went with a $5 donation to do a make and take. I would love to sell them online, but I don't think that I will get as much, and its not like I am just cleaning out my craft closet--I need to make a good amount so I can reach my fundraising goal.
Any suggestions????
