TOPIC: SUCCESS!!! “O’ For The Love...” 2021 $8k auction - with Rare, UC, and Random URs

After some unexpected changes in bid activity over the past 24 hours we start the day a little behind where we where at this time yesterday. But that is O-KAY! We still are not far from funding and I'm confident we will see this project through.

Now is the time to look at what special little diamonds can be dug out of this auction. I know for a fact there are deals to be found yet that can still get us to funded and beyond. Just a reminder we have a little under 5 days left so jump in before it's too late!

You should go ahead and point out the diamonds

I see what you did there

It’s the weekend where things tend to get a little quiet for auctions. But, we are so very close and time is running short. We didn’t have any bid activity yesterday into today, but I’m sure that’s just a case of the Fridays.

One milestone we did reach yesterday was that we achieved LEET status. Well...at least I thought it was funny.



Bottom line, all we need is less than $220 to fund. Not a stretch at all. I’d take a look at the rare bags at this point. Such good value there. Some in the community have done some intrinsic value (Trade Good value) cost analysis of them and come up with some interesting numbers. They’re worth well over $100 each at minimum. And you can’t beat many of the class necks from 2021.

Let’s see us make up that $220 this weekend if we can. GO TEAM!!

Yeah, the rare bags seem to have a little room for value. I'd have bid on one, but I needed something else a little more If I can move some more Pokemon cards in the next few days, you'll see another bid from me

Thank you so much my friend! You are such a great support to the TD community. If you can jump in we will gladly have you. If not, then no worries. Because...

WE"RE ALMOST THERE!!!

A flurry of bids came in today pushing us right to the brink. YEEEHAWW!!!

Well would you look at that? You've all shown that together we can make this crazy idea a reality and push it to success!! While we are still just a smidge shy of the goal I am 100% confident we will get there. Way to go team!!!

I'm eagerly awaiting the one who places a bid that officially pushes us over the top. As a result I am donating a special little goodie to throw in to award that awesome person. It's a secret for now till it happens. So who's it gonna be?

Added a couple bids

One more bid added to bring it over the top!

OHHHHH What a Feeling, when we're dancing on the ceiling!!!

WE DID IT!! WE DID IT!!! YOU ALL DID IT!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHH!!!!

This "give back to TD" initiative just rolled a natural 20 so let's say it together...and feel free to post it...

"WHO-HA!!"

And as a special token of our appreciation to Dave Autzen for pushing us over the funded threshold, he is appropriately being awarded an additional Tankard of Celebration.


Note, that this was not a lightening auction so it will stay open till this Tuesday May 18th at 8:00pm EDT. As a result we have already overfunded. So as we add any more to this auction please refer to my rules about what happens with the extra funds. I will make a special post about this later on. But feel free to give a little more to TD if you so choose at this point.

Instructions to all winning bidders will come once bidding officially closes on Tuesday night.

Now, a new auction will start from Scott shortly so keep an eye out for that as well and continue the momentum. He's a great guy and if you missed out in this auction, I'm sure some more deals will be had over there.

Thank you all again!! I can't wait to tell the folks over at TD what we accomplished together!

Casey

And that's a wrap!

Thank you all for the past 3 weeks of encouragement as we worked towards a common goal together day by day. We have 25 winners in this auction with 35 unique bidders. I never expected it to surpass 30 but you all brought your A-game!. Almost 80 unique bid messages came in!

Jeff is very appreciative of the order coming so well done!

I am sending out the letters to the winning bidders now so keep an eye out. You have 48 hours to forward me your total payment. So by Thursday May 20th at 10:00pm EDT.

Be sure to check out and support Scott's auction starting now HERE

Thank you again. And, game on my friends!

Thank you to all who have paid thus far. I am waiting on payment from just a few more before I am able to place the order. If you missed a PM from me indicating what your total payment is and the instructions please let me know.

Note that after 10:00pm EDT tonight any items with winning bids not yet paid for will be offered to the next highest bidder for the item. Please reach out to me directly if there are any issues.
