A generous donor added an unusual item - a hardcover of the True Dungeon Player's Handbook (images below.)

That's really cool, Fred! I didn't even know that existed.

I believe it is fan made using TD materials. It is the player's guide, dmg, coaches guide, and underwater water rules collated into one printing.

Whoever made it did a great job, it looks professional.

11/13 first half of the day update!
We're up to $8,843 in total bids!
The hardcover PHB/DMG/Coach's guide/Underwater combat rules has been clarified (I said it was just PHB - it is all the guides printed together in one anthology book.)

Some items are still surprising low on bids:
Path of Enlightenment Fragment 1 - high bid is $100 - about $600 less than the secondary market
Gold is well under $10 per 1K with all 3 lots of it (100k, 50k, 50k)
Relic transmute Bead of Asgard is only at $105 - they'll be going for more than 2-3x that price shortly
Relic +3 hammer of smiting is only at $66
7 UR's at $35 or less
2006 OOP wooden UR Savior stone is only at $50
Rings 3, 4, and 5 of the circle are $20-$31 each (far less than secondary market)

Some hard to find items will likely get more attention in the last 24 hours (between now and noon MST/10a EST tomorrow!) Keep an eye out for the spirit pets (Homonculus and Gargoyle), the Grunnel small favor scroll, the Gib Gub acorn, the hardcover TD guide, the complete monster bit set of 23-25 tokens, the complete silver ship passage sets, and already transmuted rings of the circle (with codes.)

Hopefully, we'll see a good amount of activity tonight and tomorrow morning!

Thank you everyone!

Fred, do you have the time correct? Isn't noon MST equal to 2 PM EST?

That sounds about right.

Updated - we're at $8,974. I'll post when the bids have been updated on the page with the individual bids (top in bold and underlined.) I'll try to update it quite frequently between now and auction close.

I added the final (probably) item in the auction - with it's reprieve now official - a Pun Gun!

Lastly - Colorado has resumed SNAP payments (hopefully people get them in the next few days.) We're winding down additional supplies next week. Any funds left over after our last supplemental deliveries and seed/amendment purchases will go into improvements for the high tunnels to better handle early spring and late fall and expansions for more fruit and alums.

Thank you again for all your support. It has made a big difference and helped several hundred people.

Fred

Bump - just a couple of hours left!

11/14 1030a MST - Bids updated! 90 minutes left!

Final Results for the 2025 auction are posted! Please msg me if something is incorrect or any other corrections are needed.

We raised $10,361! That is a new record! We also had tokens (and a hardcover book) donated by the community that accounted for $976 of that total.

Thank you everyone! We're putting in orders for next year's seed and amendments shortly and are finishing the short term food aid of staples purchased through monies raised here this week. We'll have enough to in this fundraiser to allow expansion of crops to increase what can be provided next year and into the future as well!

I will be messaging everyone later today with your winning bids and total, instructions for your donations, to gather shipping information, and resolve any other details. Expect communication by about 5pm MST today. We are hoping to get all the donations in by next Friday the 21st with shipping that weekend.

Fred, congratulations on a record breaking auction! Thanks for doing so much good with the proceeds!

All notifications have been sent! If you didn't get one but won an item, please msg me.

We have a small amount of farm related extras we'll include for those who are interested. Specifically, honey from our bees, lavender, and restaurant grade garlic. Anyone who wants some who we are shipping winning items to, please let me know (also if you want honey and garlic and no lavender or some combination, etc - note that as well.)

Fred

Shipping starts tomorrow - if you haven't gotten me your address yet, please do so as soon as you can.

Next week, we'll have pics of our last harvest of the year.

Fred
