12 cool auctions that made some Christmas dreams come true for a dozen New Zealanders. Here's how.

 

Thanks to Trademe and our amazing sponsors below, we ran 12 (and a bonus 13th) auctions at the start of December, raising over $6000. This money has gone towards university scholarships for 2017, as well as funding memorials to mark the final resting places of some Air Force aircraft from recent years.
