TOPIC: SC Lightning Auction Funded! - All bids shipped!

Hi all. I'm excited to run a Super Condensed Lightning Auction before the preorder deadline. Hoping to see familiar names from previous auctions and new friends from GenCon.

I'm setting reserve amounts for amounts that I’m willing to pay. To avoid any unfair advantage of me having the first bid in a way, the first bidder to meet or exceed the reserve will take over as the high bid for the item at the reserve price. So for the items still at reserve, feel free to just bid that amount, you don't have to go over it.

All of the normal parts of the order will be available other than the Randoms URs and GT. I’ve reduced the funding goal same as prior years.

Rules in second post.

Funding goal is $7,500.

Auction Rules

In order for the auction to be successful, the grand total of all bids must meet or exceed $7500. If the auction fails to meet the minimum, I may choose to go forward or call the whole thing off.

How bidding works:

◦ Bids should be sent to me via PM
◦ Reserves only set the minimum. The first person to bid equal to or more than the reserve sets the amount. Bidding continues as normal from there. Ie. If the reserve is $1, then the first bidder will have the winning bid at $1 until the next bidder and so on.
◦ 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.

PLEASE BID ONLY IN BID INCREMENT VALUES

◦ Bid increment on items less than $10: $0.25
◦ Bid increment on items greater than or equal to $10 and less than $50: $1
◦ Bid increment on items greater than or equal to $50: $5


Once your bid is received I will send you a PM confirming it and your pseudonym. I will regularly update the auction with currently winning bids.

This auction rewards early bidding. If multiple bidders bid the same amount, the earliest bids win. Because the winning bid is set by the second-highest bidder, you can enter your top bid initially and never overpay.

Bidding ends on Monday Oct 27, 2025 at 9PM ET / 6PM PT, or immediately as soon as we reach the necessary threshold, however:

◦ If the bidder that pushes us over has multiple bids, I’ll process that entire bid list.
◦ If there are technical difficulties with TD forums within 1 hour of the end auction time all open items will be extended 24 hours, open to all bidders.

Payment is through PayPal via friends and family or other if agreed to prior. All winning bids will have 48 hours after the close of the auction to provide payment. Any unpaid item(s) after allowed 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 (domestic): (Edited 10/24/25)

◦ Free for 10 or fewer tokens
◦ Free or 11 to 150 tokens
◦ Free for over 150 tokens

International shipping will be the actual cost.

I’m happy to insure mailings, but the cost of the insurance will need to be paid by the buyer. Just let me know you’d like it insured beyond the standard flat rate amount and I’ll find out how much it will be. Hopefully there are no issues with the mail and I’ll work with people if there are, but this is the responsibility of the bidder just to be clear.

All items will ship within 1 week of receiving the tokens from True Dungeon.

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.

Congratulations Mike on getting your auction funded!

A few bids are in but still lots to be had at the reserve price.

Come grab your patron code and Fragment for the special extra run at Ring Con!

A few more bids in and lots of great prices on trade goods and such.

Bump fairy

Thanks for the bump Jedibcg!

Bids are current and we're making progress. Lots of good deals still available and most things are still well under what they've been going for. Slowly but surely we can all get to Ring Con!

Thanks! Good luck on funding your auction! You've got a lot of great deals available!

Bumping since Rachel's didn't fund, see if you can't get some traction on this one

Good morning all. I had hoped Rachel's would fund so I was not bumping. It's such a change from prior years when we'd have auctions funding every week for the first few weeks.

Still lots of things under the going rates. Hopefully we can get going before GHC.

Also, I got a heads up about the ending date being after the preorder bonus date. I've been so used to it being later that I didn't think about it. So I moved it up to give time for getting PYP choices and payments in.

The new ending date is 10/27. If any bidders are upset with that, please send me a message.

Bill

A bit more movement slowly but surely.

Still lots at reserve amounts. Don't forget you don't have to beat the reserve, you can match it and take over at that amount.

If you're needing things, go look at Flik's auction first. He's so close to funding!

A few more bids in last night. Most trade goods are still great deals and the rings and marks are way under. Ton''s of PYPs still available for $45.
