Another auction? Charity?
A few confluent forces have led me to start this auction. First and foremost, the auction is in honor of my dad, Kevin, who has been battling cancer since April 2017. He bought me my first baseball cards, taught me about his stamp and coin collections, drove me twelve miles to trade for my first Blastoise card, and basically wired me for this crazy token addiction.

Others forum members have held charity auctions before, and this community has rallied to raise money for really great causes. I'm hoping I can funnel some assistance toward the American Cancer Society. The goal is to donate via this auction and help them provide aid/assistance to more cancer patients, and hopefully one day eliminate cancer altogether.

So for an un-decided number of weeks, I will post one listing per week with 100% of funds going to the American Cancer Society. I will not collect any money - all funds will be donated directly, and I will cover the shipping. The items will go up Monday and the auctions will end on Sunday. Hopefully folks can win some tokens and give to a great cause at the same time.

In Druid speak, that's like Spell Surging your Call Lightning

Also, one last note - if anyone wants to make a donation to the American Cancer Society just because, send me proof of your donation and I'll send something to a non-winning bidder.

That way you can Spell Surge Cure Moderate Wounds.

If you'd rather donate a token, I'll be sure to list the contributed token(s) up for auction pronto so the American Cancer Society receives even more funds. Thank you so much for your support and for checking out the auction!

Rules -
1. All bids must be submitted in flat dollar increments by PM.
2. The auction is Ebay-style. You can submit your max bid, and you only pay $1+ the next highest bid.
3. If you would like to use a pseudonym, please indicate what you would like to be called in your bid PM. I will update bid information with either your forum handle or your chosen pseudoynm. (Note - I reserve the right to veto your pseudoynm if it is inappropriate)
4. Bid amount will be updated daily.
5. If there is a tie, earliest tied high-bid wins.
6. Winner of the auction will submit his/her/their winning bid amount as a donation to the American Cancer Society . After providing proof of donation, I will ship the item to the winner at no additional cost.

Lightning Listings

From time-to-time, I'm going to post a lightning listing. These listings will have some token(s) and a donate-now dollar amount. The first person to reply to the thread with the word dibs will have 24 hours to donate that amount to American Cancer Society and provide proof of donation. After providing proof, I'll ship the contents of the lightning listing to the winner.

Failure to provide proof of donation within 24 hours will forfeit a lightning listing win. In the event of a forfeiture, I will re-open the listing and the process will start over.

Great idea. I will be bidding on these for sure to try and help a good cause. Good luck to your dad in his fight.

Fantastic idea! 100% support this!

Hot dog! You go man!!! What a great thing to do for the community. LOVE IT!! <3

Thank you for all the support and bids on our first day. We're up to $147 pledged to the American Cancer Society

This is a great idea Arnold. I will send my PM in a moment but I want to publicly state I am bidding $200 and challenging someone else out there to beat my bid by $25 to help this charity.

Nothing in the rules prevents you from outbidding yourself.....

I’ll bite at $225. Anyone up for $250?

My Grandmother recently died from Cancer in less than 30 days from her being diagnosed. ( we believe she has had it longer but no one knows how long since she wasn’t sick ) I will match it to the Ghost Accelerator I bought just before they added them to the 8k packs: $300
