Organised by Bayleys Real Estate - The Great Guide Dog Online Auction aims to raise funds to support the raising and training of Blind Foundation Guide Dogs.
Bayleys staff have worked tirelessly to collect 100s of auction items, which will be listed on TradeMe starting on May 13.
All items will be listed with just a $1 reserve under the Great Guide Dog Online Auction heading.
Among the sought-after listings are accommodation and leisure packages, sports goods and memorabilia, event and entertainment passes, collectables, appliances, artwork, clothing, food and beverage vouchers and priceless celebrity experiences.
People from all corners of the country are encouraged to bid generously to support Blind Foundation Guide Dogs and the many Kiwis currently waiting for a guide dog.
