TOPIC: Post-GenCon 8K Auction - Starts July 23 - Augments, Buyouts, Down the Line Bids

This is a placeholder for a new 8K Auction that will take place BEFORE GenCon but will end AFTER GenCon.

Anything with a strike ("strike") means that someone used "Buy It Out!" and no more bids are being accepted on that item. Items will be grouped and "down the line" bidding will occur. Meaning - If there are 34 PYPs with $15 bids and you bid $20, I will go down the list of bids and replace the first bid that your bid outbids (that's a fun sentence).

AUCTION START: July 23rd, 2025 12:00 AM (Eastern)

AUCTION RULES:

In order for the auction to be successful, the grand total of all bids must meet or exceed $8,000. If the auction fails to meet the minimum by the deadline, I reserve the right to extend bidding, fund at the lower amount, end the auction, or cancel the auction entirely.

BIDS & BUYS:
- Bids are sent to me via PM Or Discord (Timestamps will be utilized to determine bid orders following a first-in, first-out queue)
- Bid increment on items less than $100: $1.00
- Bid increment on items greater than or equal to $100: $5.00
- You can "Buy It Out!" by simply requesting it; funds are collected on auction success, not before. Using "Buy it Out!" removes that item from any additional bidding eligibility, and overrides any current winning bids.
- In the event that multiple bidders all bid the same highest amount, the earliest bid will win it (as determined by the table tracking bids)
- Tokens listed as 1x will allow for individual bids (e.g., 9x AI, you can bid on 4 of them if you'd like)
- Tokens listed as 10x will allow for bids only on groups of 10 (e.g., out of 30, you can bid on 10, 20, or 30)

This auction style rewards early bidding, as you win ties and people must raise the bid by at least the bid increment to take it from you. Since the price is set by the 2nd highest bidder, you may enter your top bid initially and never overpay. However, until someone uses the "Buy It Out!" option, anyone can do so! No item is safe unless "Buy It Out!" is used.

If funding is achieved before the deadline, the auction will end when the sum total of bids and "Buy It Out!" actions meet or exceed the funding threshold ($8,000 USD). As soon as the condition is met, bids will no longer be processed.

Any last-minute changes in high bidders will not extend the auction.

Ultra Rares are gold backed and can come from 2024 and 2025 Standard-Pack (while supplies last)

SAMPLE BIDS:
- "I bid $20 on all Random URs" --> if your bid outbids ANY of the 9 Random URs, you take the top spot for that Random UR
- "I bid to win 4 Aragonite if Buy It Out is not used" --> try to avoid these because I don't want to mess up your bids. Try to set a maximum for your bids
- "I buyout 3 PYPs, and bid $50 on 4 of them" --> I go down the list and find the LOWEST bid and replace it with a buyout (if none exist, I will notify you), I will then go down the list again with $50 as the maximum and replace 4 bids if possible.

PAYMENT:
- please use PayPal friends and family, or Zelle
- if you must use PayPal goods & services, you are required to cover any fees
- shipping is via USPS.
-- 0-100 tokens is $10
-- 100+ tokens is $20
-- insurance, while optional, is strongly recommended and will adjust the price of shipping if the value is over $100

UNPAID ITEMS:
- Once invoiced via forum PM, you have 48 hours to pay for your items
- if you don't, can't, or won't pay for an item it will go to the next-highest bidder
- if you need to withdraw a bid please let me know; life happens, I totally get it
- if any of the above results in the auction dipping below funding levels, I reserve the right to re-open those items for bidding or to cancel the auction entirely if necessary, delivering refunds as soon as functionally possible

DISCLOSURES:
- When the auction funds, if an item has no bids at all despite the auction funding, I will keep that item (VERY unlikely to happen)
- If there is a 10th Random UR, I reserve the right to either keep it, or donate it to a charity auction in the future.

- Restricted BBCode isn't fun, I may just link to the up-to-date item leaders just to clean things up a bit: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11cvEsSNB2_iYEakocYruTQCVkrYDlhircBZBMu5haIA/edit?usp=sharing

A bit about your Auctioneer:

My name is "obviously" Alex with alesiev pronounced "Al-uh-seev" (at least that's how I do it and I made it so why not?). I've been playing True Dungeon since 2018 (but only have XP cards from 2019). In game, I prefer Rogue. In real life, I am a cybersecurity researcher and manager (Rogue-ish?)

I'm a big fan of True Dungeon, have met wonderful people playing it, am starting to volunteer this year, and figured what better way to continue my love for all things tokens by trying my hand at running an 8K auction.

If you have questions, concerns, feedback, etc. Please do not hesitate to message me on the forums, via PM, or on Discord. I'm usually around a computer most of the day and would be happy to help out if I can!
