Happy Wednesday gang!
I'm SUPER EXCITED to share something I found recently with all of you
(and a little treat at the end of this post!)
Last week, I signed up for Tophatter.com, and went and roamed around to
see what it was all about. I was
thrilled to see that they had lots of really cool craft items that were being
auctioned off! Oh yeah, this is my kind
of place!
When you first log in to Tophatter, you have several
different auctions to choose from. They
have auctions spread throughout the day that include, craft and
jewelry-making supplies, electronics, gourmet food items, jewelry, vintage items,
and so much more. When you pick an
auction, you go into a virtual auction
room with the auctioneer and audience right there (in adorable cartoon form)
for you to hang out with. There's also a
chat screen set up so you can say hi, ask questions about items, or just get to
know other members!
There's links on the side of the screen to each item being
(and about to be) auctioned, so you can click on them to get a closer look. You will learn more about the item, the
minimum opening bid, the shipping cost that will be added on to the winning
bid, and sometimes, even a few extra photos of the items.

I've seen everything from Martha Stewart Glitter to Coach
purses sell on that site!! I chose to
buy a Christmas present a little early for sweet hubby! He
likes to use an MP3 player and headphones when he's outside mowing or doing
yard work. He's just about worn our iPod
out and asked for a new one for Christmas.
I found these CUTE little MP3 players on Tophatter! The sale was supposed to be for 2 players,
one set of headphones, and one 4 GB SD card.
I was so surprised when I opened up my package (which arrived just a few
days after my purchase!) and found two of everything! The seller was sweet enough to add in two
sets of headphones and two cards (along with the cords to charge and hook up to
the computer) I was completely THRILLED
with my purchase!
So here's the part you've been waiting to hear about! As a special treat for Scrap This Save That
readers, Tophatter is giving new customers a special $10 credit to use on any
purchase of $11 or more when you SIGN UP HERE!
That's $10 worth of goodies (or craft items!!) for FREE!! I heart free!

Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to check it out.....
Sounds interesting...off to check it out.
I would like to invite everyone to participate in a discussion related to Tophatter’s knowing and complicit selling of illegal items to the unsuspecting public and suppliers that resell to brick and mortar shops where you may unsuspectingly shop. One of many illegal items sold are gold plated jewelry with a 14K stamped hallmark. In other words, they are allowing to be sold fake stuff and representing it to be solid gold. It is my wish to create enough momentum through social media as to pressure Tophatter to Stop with the Fraud, and I need help. Please be warned, or come share your own experiences. And share your own thoughts. And see if you can be a part of the force that will Stop Tophatter Fraud.
