Great fun but read all the guidelines and rules I would tell people to make sure and read the conditions of sale before bidding. There is nothing unusual, but for a first-time buyer, I didn't know about the buyer's premium which could put your budget out of range. Overall Charitybuzz does a great job with keeping you informed of your bid and that monies do go to a good cause.

Appreciative Georgian I am a frequent user of Charitybuzz. I figure that Uncle Sam is going to take my money, so it is best to get to do unique things or to get unusual items, especially if it benefits charity; therefore, it becomes a win-win situation. I have found the Charitybuzz staff to be most helpful, especially if donors seem to be dragging their heels on redemptions. Keep up the great work!

We had a cooking lesson with Chef… We had a cooking lesson with Chef Maisashvili, what a wonderful evening. Chef got us all involved in making our dinner, it was fantastic. Chef was very organized, focused and engaging with a positive attitude (and his daughter, our interpreter as Chef speaks Georgian was great). The food and wine were so good, but most of all, we just had a great time with a great host. Stephen

Disappointed but determined! Won a trip through Charitybuzz with 2 round trip JetBlue travel certificates to Aruba! Only problem is there are not a lot of seats set aside for travel certificates! So you may find a flight out but no flight coming back on none at all for the dates you want to travel. I finally found a flight going to and coming back and requested to change my dates a week before only to be told the new dates were not available! Thank God I did not book my flights wiht the certificate or I would have lost out!!! Now I have to purchase my flights and I have until November to find somewhere to go so I can use my certificates that I wanted to use with THIS TRIP! UGH!!! Total inconvenience!!!! I just hope to have a beautiful time on my trip so I can leave a review of the hotel and my stay!!!! This may possibly be my first and last auction!!! Glad it went to a good cause though!

A Stellar Cause: William Shatner auction The chance to get William Shatner to follow me on Instagram caught my eye! I put an initial bid in and CharityBuzz reminded me of when the auction was to close. I won and helped the Robert Kennedy Human Rights Foundation. Win-win. The follow up was immediate - assisted by lovely people from CharityBuzz and RFK. Mr. Shatner follows 40 people… including me!
