TOPIC: **SHIPPED** 2024 - ULTRA CONDENSED $8k Augmented Preorder Auction

Let's get this party started!! Here's an awesome 2024 auction to give you all access to the ULTRA condensed tokens allong with the other items only found in an 8K auction.

NOTE: “ULTRA condensed” means any items that can be condensed will be auctioned off that way. (Trade Goods, Gold, Treasure Draws, etc). We successfully completed multiple auctions with this model so we will continue with it.

This is a lightning style auction so we will end the auction as soon as the full $8000 is funded.

In full disclosure, 2 Rings, 1 Mark, 3 PYPs, 2 AG Badges, the random URs, possible 10th random UR, and possible Golden Ticket will not be included in the auction.

Notice that there are a number of augmented items up for auction, as well as the pre-order goodies included to offset and ensure the auction’s success.

ALSO:

I've been analyzing current trends of market prices. It seems TG values are much lower than expected, especially for this pre-order period. I'm seeing my current auction reaching critical mass as a result. We all want it to fund, and I want it to move out of the way of the other live auctions as well as the ones on-deck planning to run. So I have an idea to give comparable incentive to bid...

Closer to the holidays I will be running my 3rd annual TD Gives American Cancer Society Benefit Auction. I always match up to 5% of all bids with a personal cash donation to the total amount raised. Last year we raised $5000!!! For this current auction only (I might do it again, we will see how it goes) I am going to incentivize all bids in this auction by matching an additional 5% of your total current winning bids to your participation in my future ACS auction. My current auction must fund and you must participate in my future ACS auction to qualify. But, if you do the math, that gives your bids up to a 10% matching donation directly to the ACS. If you have questions about how this works, please let me know.

I hope this helps recognize that the 10% incentive is a current trend helping auctions to fund and it also goes to a great cause. So if you are thinking of bidding in this auction and want to support the ACS near the holidays, here is a good chance to jump in.

BUT WAIT...THERE"S MORE!

For any bidder who's total winning bids are over $500 when this auction funds, I will include ONE random UR from the 2024 set with your order.

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, I may choose to go forward and fund the remaining balance or call the whole thing off depending on how close it is.

How bidding works:

◦ Bids should be sent to me via PM
◦ The winning bid is the lesser of the 2nd highest bid + the bid increment and the highest bid.
◦ You must bid at least the current bid + the bid increment.
◦ Bid increment on items less than $10: $0.25
◦ Bid increment on items greater than or equal to $10 but below $100: $1
◦ Bid increment on items greater than or equal to $100: $5
NOTE: All bids must be divisible by the increment in place for their bid tier.

Once your bid is received I will send you a PM confirming it with your Gooey Cube NPC themed moniker. I will regularly update the auction with currently winning bids, as work and life allows. But at minimum, daily, unless extenuating circumstances prevent it.

If multiple bidders bid the same amount, the earliest bids win..

This auction will end at either the specified date and time listed below or at the moment the auction achieves $8000.

Any ties will be resolved by whichever tying bidder submitted their very first bid as the winner.

If the $8000 is not reached before the following date, bidding ends on Monday, October 30th, 2023 at 12:00 Noon EDT, however:

◦ If there are technical difficulties with TD forums (or elsewhere) within 1 hour of the end auction time all open items will be extended in 1 hour increments past this time until the technical issues are resolved, open to all bidders.
(I will communicate on this forum thread exactly what time the auction will close post technical issues)

Payment is required through PayPal via friends and family. All winning bids will have 24 hours after the close of auction to provide payment. Due to the quick turn around required for this auction, any unpaid item(s), after the allowed time, will forfeit their items and I will pay the residual and keep the items myself.

Shipping (domestic):

1-9 Tokens = $10
10-150 Tokens = $15
150+ tokens = $20

Note, any order over $100 I automatically include insurance. This has saved us before.

International shipping is calculated and billed at time of shipment.

Please reach out to me via PM with any questions or concerns

Feel free to bid on any number of items for which there are multiples available, your bid will always apply to the cheapest items.

Ending Monday, October 30th, 2023 at 12:00 Noon EDT,

last updated on Saturday, October 6th at 5:06PM EDT

Items are updated here once per day or can be found on the real time page: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1u_uap4s-MjEx_DCD-6M5PVmjqxImv7zfwUpTpypuMtE/edit#gid=0

WHO-HAA!! In celebration of exceeding 90% funded I've added a Tankard of Celebration to augment the auction. Well, okay, I've added a couple more augments as well:

- Lenses of Flawsight
- Cloak of Retribution
- Tankard of Celebration

ALSO...

I've been analyzing current trends of market prices. It seems TG values are much lower than expected, especially for this pre-order period. I'm seeing my current auction reaching critical mass as a result. We all want it to fund, and I want it to move out of the way of the other live auctions as well as the ones on-deck planning to run. So I have an idea to give comparable incentive to bid...

Closer to the holidays I will be running my 3rd annual TD Gives American Cancer Society Benefit Auction. I always match up to 5% of all bids with a personal cash donation to the total amount raised. Last year we raised $5000!!! For this current auction only (I might do it again, we will see how it goes) I am going to incentivize all bids in this auction by matching an additional 5% of your total current winning bids to your participation in my future ACS auction. My current auction must fund and you must participate in my future ACS auction to qualify. But, if you do the math, that gives your bids up to a 10% matching donation directly to the ACS. If you have questions about how this works, please let me know.

I hope this helps recognize that the 10% incentive is a current trend helping auctions to fund and it also goes to a great cause. So if you are thinking of bidding in this auction and want to support the ACS near the holidays, here is a good chance to jump in.

BUT WAIT...THERE"S MORE!

For any bidder who's total winning bids are over $500 when this auction funds, I will include ONE random UR from the 2024 set with your order.

And THANK YOU all for all of your support!!

Hey all, we are only $280 from closing and bids keep trickling in. BUT, I want this to close and make room for the other auctions to get some love. SO...I've added a BUY IT NOW option on a Stalker Bead of Skill

It will sell outright at $280 and the auction will fund and close immediately thereafter. NO BIDS will be accepted on the Stalker Bead token, only the BIN price. Currently the rest of the auction as a whole is still open for bidding but this will put us over the top so if you want it, grab it! They are all sold out on Trent's site but we got one here ready and willing to go. If we fund with bids in the auction and the Stalker bead has not sold, it will be removed and the auction will close.

Let's wrap this up today my friends!

OH YEAH!!!! We did it! Thanks to everyone for their participation! This auction had the most unique bids I've ever seen by far. It made for a fun event. I apprecitate everyone who participated in this auction. <3

This auction is now funded and closed. I will veryify the totals for accuracy and then send invoices out probably tomorrow. I have family obligations this evening.

Once I send the invoices you have 48 hours to pay. Then I'll place the order.

Now, go participate in Bertram's, Wade's, Flick's, and Fred's auctions. Ultimately it all supports TD!!

YOU ALL ROCK!!

Congratulations man!

Yes, GREAT JOB! Wade, finish yours!

I'm working on it!

Oh USPS... Seems the package has fallen into limbo. Thus the order is delayed for me packing and shipping it to you. Seems like this happens to me every time.

Once I get more info from USPS about when the package will be delivered I'll update. I'm primed and ready to sort, repack, and send them out, just need the tokens to get to me first.

Tokens finally made it to me. I've sorted and packed them. It's too late to ship them today but they will ship tomorrow and will send out tracking numbers at that time. Thank you all for your patience!
