Geekhackers Auction #3: 6th Anniversary Dyesub Spacebars
« on: Sat, 11 January 2014, 14:15:33 »
Folks,

Thanks to IMSTO's perseverance and skill at the art of dye sublimation on THICK, beefy PBT spacebars, I've designed an produced _exactly 5 copies_ of a unique 6th anniversary Geekhack design. Again, starting from Lastpilot's entries into ekw808's t-shirt logo thread, I've created a spacebar that I feel looks both back at Geekhack's history and forward into the future of geekhack.org and geekhacking in general :)).

50610-0

Now, one copy of this design is spoken for, but four copies are left. I will be auctioning them off in the following way:

One spacebar per person, period.

Post your bid on a single spacebar in this thread in the form "I BID 'X'!" where 'X' is a positive integer amount of US Dollars. Your bid must be more than 40 USD.

The auction will end at midnight Central Standard Time (UTC-6) next Sunday, Jan 19 2014. That is, the last minute of the last second of January 2nd in Racine, Wisc.

Automated Countdown here: http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?p0=2303&iso=20140119T235959&year=2014&month=1&day=19&hour=23&min=59&sec=59&msg=GEECKERS%20AUCTION%20%233%20END&csz=1

At the end of the auction, the four highest bids will have 24 hours to secure their spacebar. If payments are not remitted by 24 hours of auction's end, I will go down the list of bids until all spacebars are claimed, giving each bidder 24 hours to remit payment.

No bid can be less than 40 USD.

note that i will break ties by time of post. earlier posts take precedence.

Thanks for being an amazing community!

That's right.  As soon as you said that I remembered that he doesn't do larger sizes.
