Buyoncegivetwice’s Weblog

www.buyoncegivetwice.co.uk is a new and unique online auction site  urging charities to maximise their fundraising from auctions. The site helps organisations by simply recycling luxury auction lot ‘waste’ at no cost to the charity. Generally when a charity holds an auction, its supporters pay thousands of pounds for a luxurious and often unique prize. However, frequently the supporter is busy and does not have time to redeem their prize. This prize simply doesn’t get used but through BuyOnceGiveTwice it is recycled making more money for charity.  With the launch of BuyOnceGiveTwice, the purchaser can contact the site and re-auction the lot for the charity. The original charity will receive 60% of the resale value and once re-sold, the new purchaser nominates their favourite charity to receive the other 30%. 

In other cases, where charities contact BuyOnceGiveTwice directly with lots that are returned to them by the purchaser to re-sell, lots that don’t sell at auction, or cases where the purchaser defaults, the charity will receive 90% of the re-sale value. This is philanthropic recycling for 21^st Century!

On this blog we will also be listing any last minute amazing lots that come through and are time sensitive.
