TOPIC: FUNDED! - Derg's One-More-Chance End of Year 8k Lightning Auction CLOSED

Derg’s August 2020 End-of-Year 8k Lightning Auction CLOSED - FUNDED!

Current Total $7400.62, which is 100.35% of the goal.

Auction ends as soon as I process a bid that puts the Current Auction Total at or above $7375.
Cutoff for final bids: 10 PM Eastern time, Friday, September 18th

Auction Rules:

In order for the auction to be guaranteed successful the grand total of all purchases must meet or exceed $7,375, if it falls short I may choose to go forward, or cancel and close the auction.

Bidding is eBay style:

• Bids are to be sent to me via PM
• You must bid at least the Current Minimum Bid. For items which do not have bids for the full quantity, this will be equal to the Opening Bid.
  
• The last-place bidder who is currently winning any tokens will set the Winning Bid Amount.
  This will be equal to the lesser of: the next-highest bid + the bid increment OR the the last winning bidder’s maximum bid. (In the case where the next-highest bid comes from the same bidder as the last winning bid, this results in a winning bid equal to the maximum bid of the last winning bidder.)
  All winning bids will be equal to this Winning Bid Amount. See the example in the second post below.
• Bid increment on items under $10: 25 cents
• Bid increment on items between $10 and $150: $1
• Bid increment on items $150 and up: $5
• I will post each winning bid amount and a codename for those bidders with each periodic update (approximately once per day).
• Highest Maximum Bids win. In the event that multiple bidders all bid the same maximum bid, the earliest bid will win.
• I reserve the option to deliver PYP choices on either Gold or Onyx backs.

This auction style rewards early bidding, and encourages bidding your maximum up front, to break ties in your favor.

This will be a Lightning-style auction. As soon as I process a bid that puts the Current Auction Total at or above $7375, the auction will be considered funded and no further bids will be processed. In addition, there will be a hard cutoff for final bids at 10 PM Eastern time on Friday, September 18th, however: if technical difficulties with the True Dungeon Forums prevent access to sending bids via PM at any time up to 24 hours prior to the cutoff date & time, I reserve the right to extend the cutoff one additional day to a new date & time. In the unlikely event that technical difficulties persist, this extension may be repeated in order to give everyone a chance to bid.

I will PM each purchaser an itemized list of their purchases and shipping cost.

Payment is to be made via PayPal: friends and family. (The total due amount plus shipping is the amount that must arrive in my account after fees.)

Payment in full is due within 48 hours of my post declaring a successful auction close. PYP choices must also be made at that time via PM.

As soon as I have all payments and PYP choices, I will place the order with True Dungeon. I will provide order status updates on this thread.
In the the unlikely event that all payments are not received, I reserve the choice to either: cancel the auction and refund all payments, OR, place the order, keeping any unpaid-for items (since I will have paid for them myself)

Shipping cost:
$4 for 10 or fewer tokens
$8 for 11 to 150 tokens
$15 for over 150 tokens
These prices apply to destinations in the US.
International shipping is at the actual cost of shipping. Shipping will occur within 1 week of my receipt of tokens from True Dungeon.

Notes and FAQ:

I have reserved the Patron Pin and one PYP for myself, and adjusted the auction goal down to $7375 accordingly.

2020, August 23: I made a couple of edits shortly after posting to correct errors, and to set up so that all winning bidders pay the same winning amount. Feel free to PM with any questions.
2020, August 24: Clarified how the winning bid is calculated.

Example Winning Bids:

Scooby bids $15 each on 4 Hitchhiking Ghosts
Shaggy bids $16 each on 2 Hitchhiking Ghosts
Velma bids $20 on 1 Hitchhiking Ghost.

The result is this:
Hitchhiking Ghost: (Current Minimum Bid: $16)
#1 Velma $15
#2-3 Shaggy $15
#4 Scooby $15

Using the above example, if Fred comes along and bids $18 for one Hitchhiking Ghost, the results will then be:
Hitchhiking Ghost: (Current Minimum Bid: $17)
#1 Velma $16
#2 Fred $16
#3-4 Shaggy $16

Using the above example, if Daphne comes along and bids $20 for one Hitchhiking Ghost, the results will then be:
Hitchhiking Ghost: (Current Minimum Bid: $17)
#1 Velma $16
#2 Daphne $16
#3 Fred $16
#4 Shaggy $16

Updated to reflect initial day's bids.

FYI: I used greek letters for the codenames. In order to avoid revealing bidder order, these are assigned in random order (so that Alpha isn't necessarily bidder 1, Beta isn't bidder 2, etc...) If I run out of greek letters, I'll come up with something else.

Updated 8/24 to reflect the day's bids.

Updated with today's bids.

It appears that I made a copy/paste error on ink in the last update, which has been corrected.

Winning bids are up-to date.

Today's update is in, just a little movement on trade goods, didn't affect prices or goal progress today.

Updated with a few new bids since yesterday. Some movement on PYP winners and trade goods, and a bump toward the goal. Almost to 85%!

PM Sent

Updated with new bids since last night.

Nice 4% increase this morning toward the goal.

Goal and bids are current.

Updated for a few bids that came in tonight.
