TOPIC: SHIPPED - Augmented SAFEHOLD Super Condensed Onyx 8K Auction!!!

Auction rules:

This is a super-condensed Safehold auction augmented by some tokens from my collection. As the auction progresses, if it looks like we are not meeting the goal, I may continue to add things. The goal here is to get this funded. Ideally, this results in very good deals on the things I have added, as well as the auction items.
In order for the auction to be successful, the grand total of all winning bids must meet or exceed $8,000. If the auction fails to meet the minimum by the end date, the auction will end with no order placed. I do reserve the right to declare the auction funded at a lower total and fund the remaining myself.

As an option, the winning bidder of the Safehold III and stewards may instead choose to take all of the Trade Goods from a normal auction (those not included in a Safehold auction) instead -- as a single lot.

The Patron Pin/Code and Fragment are not included in this auction. I am claiming them and have added augmentation to compensate for their absence.

Bidding is "eBay style":
◦ Bids are sent to me through Private Messages.
◦ You must bid at least the current bid + the bid increment.
◦ When bidding on multiples of the same item, all of your bids must be at the same amount.
◦ Bid increment on items currently at less than $10 is $0.25.
◦ Bid increment on items currently at greater than or equal to $10 and less than $50 is $1.
◦ Bid increment on items currently at greater than or equal to $50 is $5.
◦ The winning bid amount is the lesser of the highest bid and the bid increment greater than the 2nd highest bid.
◦ In the event that multiple bidders all bid the same highest amount, the earliest bid will be the high bidder.

Since the price is set by the 2nd highest bidder, you may enter your top bid initially and never overpay.

Bidding ends on Saturday, October 28,2023 at 9pm EDT/6pm PDT OR 9pm EDT/6pm PDT the day after funding has been achieved -- whichever occurs first.

There will be no extensions (aside from technical difficulties). Any last-minute changes in high bidders will not extend the auction.

Payment is required through Pay Pal via Friends and Family. I am not selling you tokens in this auction. You are bidding on the opportunity to join in on a group $8K order from TD. All winning bids will have 48 hours after close of the auction to provide payment. Any unpaid item(s) after allotted time will defer their winning bid and the next highest bidder will be offered the item at their maximum bid price of the item(s).

Shipping within the US on all winning bids is $7 for 1 -6 tokens (Ground Advantage + tracking), $10.20 for 1 to 150 tokens (Priority), $17.10 for over 150 tokens to destinations in the US. International shipping is at the actual cost of shipping. Shipping will occur within 1 week of receiving the tokens from True Dungeon, though probably much sooner than that. Free pick-up of tokens locally (Central Ohio) or at a future convention can be arranged.

Ending on Saturday, October 28,2023 at 6PM EDT / 9PM PDT

Current Total: Funded!

Only 1 guess per bidder. The answer is a year.

Almost a day in and we are at $1,118.50 out of our goal of $8,000. We are 13.98% funded.

As usual, the first bidder who correctly guesses the link between the pseudonyms gets free shipping! There is another puzzle above and possibly "hidden" clues.

We are currently 40.53% funded at $3,242.00. Keep the bids coming.

We are currently over 46% funded at $3,702 out of the $8K.

There have been no guesses on either puzzle yet.

Sorry, Graham, you were outbid before I could post your bids.

The Safehold and the stewards are being sold separately? If so, someone could get the SH and not be able to use it for anything or vice versa, which seems odd.

Yes, I thought about that after the auction started. I could see someone not wanting all 5 of a steward and I could see someone wanting more than 5. I could also see someone not interested in the stewards at all and is just looking for a shortcut the transmuters.

All of the Safehold tokens are currently being won by the same bidder. I will ask them if they would prefer it being a single package.

We are currently over 59% funded at $4,724 out of $8K.

After asking the currently winning bidder of the Safehold and all the stewards, I have decided to combine them as one lot.

Small gains putting us 60% funded at $4,804.

Keep the bids coming! There have been no guesses on the puzzle or the link between the pseudonyms yet.

We are currently 65% funded at $5,200. out of the $8K.

The now Adric correctly guessed the link between the pseudonyms -- Dr. Who companions. There have been no guesses on the puzzle in message 2 of the thread. Use the hidden message for a clue with it.

We are currently 67% funded at $5,364 of the $8K.

Keep the bids coming!

We are currently 68.4% funded at $5,472 out of the $8K.

There have been no correct answers for the puzzle on message 2 yet.

I am adding a 2020 Charm of Brooching to the augmentation.

Bid high, bid often!
