Title: GH Charity Auction #1: Red F2 Topre Clack Skull! (FINISHED)
Post by: mkawa on Sun, 29 July 2012, 20:09:59
I am auctioning off a red factory 2nd Click Clack skull. This skull is for TOPRE KEYBOARDS ONLY.

The key in question is the one in the center of the picture below:
[attach=1]

This is a charity auction. 100% of the proceeds of this auction will be donated to geekhack.

This is a public auction. Post your bid as a reply below. The highest bid at the end of the auction will win the keycap. I will personally pay for shipping anywhere in the world.

This auction will end at 12:01am August 2nd, Samoa (Apia) time (GMT +13).

At the end of the auction, I will contact the highest bidder by PM, and they will have 24 hours to remit their donation. If an eligible donation is not remitted, I will go down the list of highest bids until a donator steps forward.

Happy bidding!!


(NOTE: yes, two bids were made via PM before i announced the official rules. i ask that both those bidders post their bids as replies to this thread, but their bids are valid, and there are 60 hours left in the auction anyway, so i think we'll be fine. again, happy bidding :)

I don't see any bid in a reply so far.
Where is the transparency of longweight's bid?
That being said, I bid $10.

it's only being auctioned because he was so persistent in trying to buy it for me. i gave in on the condition that it be a donation to GH, and that all of GH have a chance at it.

So, megnin bids $11 and you make a $110 of it?
Sneaky!
I bid $12 (and I assume you change that to $120?)


//Well, good for you mentioning that in the post. Public auction... yeah right :D

Can someone point out flaws unseriously?
I'm just saying. People might question the nature of this public auction when it's already at $100 by someone without reply to the OP as stated in the OP.

It would probably be good if longweight logs in and puts his bid in plain sight.

Guys!

He offered to trade it with my 3D Topre and I said no but can I please buy it? Then he mentioned this auction and I said that I would bid $100 which is my opening bid as it is for a good cause!

I will probably dig into my keyboard footlockers and put some things up for auction as well (probably no CC keys)...

We've got some significant purchases we'd like to make for hardware for the GH hosted environment, so it is definitely for a good cause!

Hmm, well if it's going to buy some new hardware, then I'll bid $110.

Yup, this is going to a good cause indeed and that was one of my ClickClacks (the red F2 Topre).  ;)
