Title: GH Charity Auction: Red F2 Cherry MX ClickClack! (Auction is over).
Post by: Glissant on Tue, 21 August 2012, 17:33:33
I am auctioning off a red factory 2nd ClickClack skull. This skull fits Cherry MX switches only.


The skull I am auctioning off for charity is the one in this picture:
[attach=1]


This is a charity auction. 100% of the proceeds of this auction will be donated to geekhack. (You will donate the winning bid directly to geekhack, and when your donation is verified I will ship the skull)

This is a public auction. Post your bid as a reply to this post. Bid increments of at least $1, please. The highest bid at the end of the auction will win the keycap.
Shipping will be covered by me.

This auction will end on August 27 2012 12PM EST (16:00 GMT).

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 :) ! And thanks to Mystery kawa for letting me steal most of the other auction post.

Well after spending 210 USD in the last two Clack auctions I think that I should leave this one!

I would be prepared to increase your bid to around 80 dollars though.

What are you talking about deadbeats, MM?

And who doesn't want a billiards magnet set to go with their awesome skull? I can assure you that the materials, time and effort for the billiards set is well worth the extra $45 at this point :) .

Less than 24 hours left of the auction :). I will not extend the bidding, so if you feel like trying to snipe, that will be a possibility.

Post by: jdcarpe on Mon, 27 August 2012, 08:58:48
I'm sorry, but I think that people who bid an amount should be prepared to follow through with it. Don't back out of an auction, especially one for charity like this. I realize s**t happens, but you need to be prepared to accept the consequences if you back out of a bid. Consequences like being on a list of "bad trades" or the like.

It's better than winning the auction and then running away not saying anything, or replying. I did not expect the other high bidder to backout as well. Something came up IRL, and I'm not having sufficient cash right now, if it makes anything better I'll bid 90$ again.

Post by: Computer-Lab in Basement on Mon, 27 August 2012, 09:58:46
I have legitimate reasons for backing out of my bid. Anyone else who is currently going into college would understand. That being said, I would greatly appreciate it if people would not consider seeking higher education as a "lame excuse" for backing out of an auction.

The bid is always updated in the first post of the thread. I try to stay on top of it as much as I can. The bid is currently at $88, unless akuJIWA is bidding $90, but his post is ambiguous, so I think we will stick with AKIMbO for now :) .

20 minutes until AKIMbO steals this away :p

AkuJIWA was able to get his hands on the red f2 skull for $90 donated directly to geekhack.org.

Congratulations to you.

And a great big thanks to everyone that participated. I am proud to be a part of a community that sees the value in itself.
There will be more auctions in the future, and I hope people will bid with their hearts, and not just their wallets ;).

I was writing the private message to you right now :), but I can tell you here instead. You will donate directly to geekhack (donate button the top nav bar), put a note that the donation is from this auction, mkawa will then verify your donation and I will ship your skull.
Don't forget to send me your shipping address :).

The skull has been sent, and should be on it's way :).

Thanks go out to akuJIWA for donating $90 to geekhack.

I am unfortunately out of CC skulls that I am willing to just give away, so there won't be one for a while. Maybe I'll do a Topre skull auction for GH in the future, but I don't know when that might be.

Thanks again to everyone that participated.
