TOPIC: THE FINAL COUNTDOWN Augmented 8k Auction SHIPPING TODAY

Sing it in your best 80s hair metal voice…”IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!”

I’m conducting an augmented 8K auction as we wrap up the 2023 token year. There will be some VERY cool augmented items added so take a look and don’t miss out!

Did you need trade goods for Stalker beads and Safeholds? How about a Shirt of the Shrewd to start crafting your Arcanum set before it's too late? Do you need a few more 2022 URs before they go out of print or to start making Omni Cubes? How about one last shot at a Ring of the 4th Circle? Well, here is your VERY LAST OPPORTUNITY!!! In order for me to get the order in before the cut-off date this MUST fund by September 22nd or it won’t make it.

Auction Rules

In order for the auction to be successful, the grand total of all bids must meet or exceed $8,000 (The augments will more than cover the cost of the Path fragment not included). If the auction fails to meet the minimum, I may choose to go forward and fund the remaining balance or call the whole thing off depending on how close it is.

How bidding works:

◦ Bids should be sent to me via PM
◦ The winning bid is the lesser of the 2nd highest bid + the bid increment and the highest bid.
◦ You must bid at least the current bid + the bid increment.
◦ Bid increment on items less than $10: $0.25
◦ Bid increment on items greater than or equal to $10 but below $100: $1
◦ Bid increment on items greater than or equal to $100: $5
NOTE: All bids must be divisible by the increment in place for their bid tier.

Once your bid is received I will send you a PM confirming it with your Gooey Cube NPC themed moniker. I will regularly update the auction with currently winning bids, as work and life allows. But at minimum, daily, unless extenuating circumstances prevent it.

If multiple bidders bid the same amount, the earliest bids win..

This auction will end at either the specified date and time listed below or at the moment the auction achieves $8000. Due to the short timeframe before order, we will not be able to extend the auction window for 24 hours past this in order to give folks time for one last bid so yes, that leaves the door open for sniping. I’ll keep a very close eye on the time/date stamps as the bids come in.

Any ties will be resolved by whichever tying bidder submitted their very first bid as the winner.

Bidding ends on Friday, September 22nd, 2023 at 12:00 Noon EDT, however:

◦ If there are technical difficulties with TD forums (or elsewhere) within 1 hour of the end auction time all open items will be extended in 1 hour increments past this time until the technical issues are resolved, open to all bidders.
(I will communicate on this forum thread exactly what time the auction will close post technical issues)

Payment is required through PayPal via friends and family. All winning bids will have 24 hours after the close of auction to provide payment. Due to the quick turn around required for this auction, any unpaid item(s), after the allowed time, will forfeit their items and I will pay the residual and keep the items myself.

Tokens will be available for pick-up in person at Game Hole Con. If you need them shipped please note the following:

Shipping (domestic):

1-9 Tokens = $10
10-150 Tokens = $15
150+ tokens = $20

Note, any order over $100 I automatically include insurance. This has saved us before.

International shipping is calculated and billed at time of shipment.

Please reach out to me via PM with any questions or concerns

Feel free to bid on any number of items for which there are multiples available, your bid will always apply to the cheapest items.

Ending Friday, September 22nd, at 12:00 Noon EDT,.

Curses! Now I have that song stuck in my head.

Beertram's auction has funded...HUZHAA!!

Congratulations to you all for another job well done.

Now, The Final Countdown for 2023 has begun. Let the bidding commence!

Unless you’re keeping it, I bid $1 on the Charm of Biting.

Thanks for continuing to support this auction! There are quite a few items that do not have any bids yet so jump right in, the water is great!

May I bid $1.23 on the 2009 Rare token prop that fell into the box for the next 8k?

Is $1.23 divisible by 2?

Once again, our esteemed benefactor and favorite green eared friend, has "slipped" a special item into the mix. What is it? Well, it stands to be COOL, so bid big, and find out.

Some good movement on this auction over the past 24 hours. Keep those bids coming.

How about this?

If the auction funds before the Patron event...cool.

If it funds after, I'll add the special token to this auction.

So feel free to bid up that Patron code.

*bump*

And I bid…

$25 on the patron code/token

$1 on the small favor from Grunnel scroll

It looks like Grunnel is very interested in seeing another patron help Pudnort find his way home. So, let's pile on and do this...I'll add a conditional One-Boot Billy’s Map token to this auction. If we fund before the Patron event next Friday the bidder who wins the Patron pin+code will also receive a One-Boot Billy’s Map.

If we don't fund before the patron event, I'll shift the One-Boot Billy’s Map to a separate augment item you all can have free reign to bid on.

But, let's push to get this funded before next Friday! Pudnort needs as many of us as he can get. <3

Look at this auction, Steals GALORE!!!

Bump.
