Token auctions are back at Utaku's Trade Caravan, now on their own site with better bidding
Hi all,
Utaku's Trade Caravan token auctions are back, and they now run on their own site:
Utaku's Auction Block
If you've bid on other auction sites before, a few things work differently here that I think you'll like:
-
Bid on multiple items at once. One form lists every open item, already filled in with your current bids. A Max Qty button grabs everything available on an item. Submit them all together.
-
Bid by the lot, not one token at a time. Want 6 OE? Place one bid for all 6 instead of juggling six separate bids. And no paying $70 for one while someone else gets the same token for $20: everyone who wins an item pays the same price, within one bid increment. No overpaying!
-
Fair, proxy-style bidding. Enter the most you'd pay per token, and you only pay what it takes to win. That's never more than one increment above the next bidder, and never more than your max. No sniping wars, and no need to sit there refreshing.
-
The auction ends when the funding goal is hit. The progress bar at the top shows how close we are. Once the goal is reached, everything closes automatically. Otherwise each auction runs for one month from launch, with the start and close times shown at the top of the page (Eastern time).
-
See where you stand anytime. My bids shows whether you're winning all, part, or none of each item, plus a running receipt of what you've won.
-
Stay anonymous. You get a random bidder name (like "Silver Falcon 08"). Only I see your real name and contact info.
-
Full history. All auctions lists every past auction with its dates, and you can look back at your results from any of them.
-
Condensed Shipping Options Available. Looking to keep bidding until you get what you want? let me know to hold on shipping your winnings until the end and only pay shipping once!
-
I'll double any amount over funding and donate to the Trevor Project. Every time each auction closes, I will take any amount over $7.5K, double it, and donate to The Trevor Project, the world's largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ+ young people.
-
No augments. Ever. Look, I get it, just not my style so get the items you crave without worry of being underfunded at the end.
A few house rules:
- Once you've placed a max bid on an item, you can raise it or change the quantity, but you can't lower your price.
- Shipping is a flat $12 per auction, no matter how many items you win.
- Payment is PayPal (Friends & Family), Venmo, or credit card via invoice. You pick when you register. Nothing is charged automatically; I'll reach out after the auction closes.
Getting started takes about a minute: click Register to bid, enter your name, email, and payment preference, and you're in. New to proxy bidding? The How it works link at the top of the page walks through everything with an example.
