SOLD Black Cat charity auction #2 - 3 x Halloween chips (1 Viewer)

[Toby]

This is the second of two charity auctions I'm running.

Again, it's for Macmillan Cancer Support, who provided nursing staff and support to my mom. https://www.macmillan.org.uk/

What're you bidding on?

I'm offering up 3 x Halloween chips. These are a super-limited chip, which are not for sale. They've only been available via flips or charity auctions, so are hard to come by.

These are the last Halloween chips I have left to sell. I have no others after this.

How does this work?

Like last year, the top 3 highest bids will each get a chip.

The chips

Bidding

Is open! Gambol!

Rule change

Bids the same as other bidders will be valid.

Any equal bids in the final top 3 at the close of auction will go into a flip or flips to decide the winner. Just for the gambol of it, natch.

Rulez

1. Bids and payment in GBP via PP F&F (so we can take advantage of Gift Aid 25% donation match in the UK)
2. Buyer pays shipping (e.g. packaging and postage)
3. I will bolt the shipping costs on to the donations
4. We can combine shipping if chips are going to the same country
5. Bids start at 1p
6. Bids do not have to be unique (bids of the same value in the top three at auction end that have multiple bidders will be entered into a flip to decide the winner)
7. Auction ends 11.59pm CST on Monday 16th October)
8. I'll record bids in OP for ease of reference

Either the Halloweener market has crashed, or we've got some catchy monkey tactics on the go!

I've checked my reserves - these'll be the last Halloween chips I'll be offering up. No more left to let go.

@PAZ I'm assuming your bid is .50, as we've not broken the £1 threshold yet!

 

[trever]

No clue what a "p" is, and I don't know how to type the fancy "L", but I'll bid
2 fancy L's

As in 'pence'. Like cents, only in GBP!

 

[DJ Mack]

£5

 

[jbutler]

13 pounds

Nice. Like it!

 

[jbutler]

The only truly appropriate way to end the auction is three tying 13 pound bids.

Agreed. Toby make it so. Adjust mine please. (Then close the auction when the third comes in)

 

[courage]

13 GBP. #boom

 

[liftapint]

21 pounds. I thought that’s what the p meant.

This is quality degen thinking. It could be a founding principle of Degenerism and Degenerist Theory

21 pounds. I thought that’s what the p meant.

If @PAZ thought the same thing, he smashed last year's record

 

[BHB]

Confused- what is the highest bid now ?

Ok - I see it at the top of the post. Duh....

[jja412]

so p = pence, and £ - pound?

LOL, I just assumed p = pound, and thought you guys were really blowing it up for charity.

Can we bid in quid? Wait, is quid the same as £?

Quick check: Quid=GBP=£?

Yep - quid/pound/GBP/£

 

[PAZ]

50 GBP....have to have 1 of these to go with my original set and it's for a good cause.
