Due to the issues this has caused I am ending the auction early. The new end time for bids is Nov 8th at 12:00 (noon) Central Standard Time.
Let's end this silly bickering and move on.
New countdown clock:
http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20131108T12&p0=405&msg=New+CC+Topre+Timer (http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20131108T12&p0=405&msg=New+CC+Topre+Timer)
[FA]
Current Highest Bid: $130
Okay so this is happening despite what may happen to my image. I am going to auction my Topre Drunken Skull which you all know was from the most resent CC drawing. I am going to start the price at cost (29.51) rounded up to the dollar so $30. Bids will go up in increments of $1 please. Please post in this forum no PMs. I want this out in the open, no hidden winners or behind the scenes action. The auction will go until November 10th at noon Central time.
[attachimg=5]
I will update about 3 - 5 time a day on this original post to make it easier to see the current highest bidder. Good Luck.

Bump! Taking any offers!
-
Todays Bump.....:(
-
Bump. No one wants all my stuff for a poker 2 :(
-
Updated prices
-
Lowered to $50 - that price for 2 sets of key caps plus cherry blacks is worth it alone but instead you get a working keyboard :)....my shameful attempt at being a salesmen :)
-
Bump

PMing

Bump!

I may be interested. Can you tell me a bit about the keyboard? Build quality, materials, etc

Sure can! Check out my review here: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47262.0 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47262.0)

Bump! updated prices, shipping included!

Drat, looks like it sold already. Oh well.

Yup yesterday if it makes you feel better they were interested before you. I didn't sell it from under you :)
-
No worries. Just been my luck lately. Got sniped on a Tex Beetle. and a few other close calls. Tricky getting a good keyboard on the cheap. Almost went **** it and ordered a Rosewill, but the sale apparently ended while I was waiting on payday. If I am going to pay $100+ on a keyboard, I'll get something a bit fancier than a Rosewill.

Fair enough good sir...fair enough

Auction Begins...
Hate me if you want :(

are you rarar?
-
You just want the most that you can get out of that cap. Nothing wrong with auctions in my eyes, but that's just my opinion.
-
If no one bids til the end the price won't get obscenely high. Guys.. Patience lol.
-
really?
-
Stop with the $5 increments, at the very least. $1 are perfectly fine.
-
are you rarar?
rarar was worse. Begged for dibs, then tried to flip.
-
are you rarar?
Nope...not at all....this is very up front....I won a topre, don't need it selling it to get other stuffs.
-

He doesn't have to sell it in the end anyway. That doesn't matter.

Also, is there a reason to go til the 10th? Why not just end it Friday? Extending auctions on Clarks is almost useless. Someone is going to buy it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but people don't have to bid. It's their money and they can do with it what they want bro. Sounds like you're just upset.

Lets not forget duc that keeps bumping the price by 5 instead of 1. It's a two person operation.

What does a conscience? He won the clack, people are willing to pay high prices for it, so he sells it.

You're coming across with a "holier-than-thou" attitude, which isn't much better.

You're right, people are free to bid if they want. But they fact is this person is taking something he just got, not even in his hand, and already trying to make profit from it.
If you don't see anything in that, well I guess that's your problem. No, I am not mad. Just disappointed in humans like this one.

Don't know why people are hating on the seller. It is the people how buys these plastic pieces at ridicolus prices who creates these situations.

Probably because someone bought it with the intention of selling it, making it less likely for someone who would have appreciated it to get it. Clack auctions are always divisive, especially when they immediately follow a sale. Just look at rarar and what happened with him.

Usually id agree but not in this case. Person bought for the sole purpose to resell. Meaning he took the chance from somebody to be a greedy ****. Now the people bidding 30 to 50 are the reason the prices are high

People that can't wait for restock are idiots. If not you then somebody else will do it.

People don't know how to wait and/or love to put everything off till the last minute.

This is to show you how the things work. If I buy it I won't sell it for 5 usd. Whyy? Because I paid more than than. This will help people understand why prices are high. Iwill buy this one and re sellit for the same price

It's an extreme way to get people to actually bloody understand. :/

You could just let **** be and not artificially raise the prices to "prove a point"
Holy ****, it's logic!

With or with me this cap may reach 150. We all know that

Dude its only the first day of the auction.. wait til this is over and you'll see. I guess it'll go from $150-$250 or $300 if Catcux is bidding.

The drunken skull is new so it has no precedent.

Ah I see. Its similar to the oktoberfest, but in skull form, so I assumed that it was already made before. There are wayyyy too many CC designs but that's what makes them special
-

Depends on how desperate ONE person in the market is, and even then, that is NOT the market price, that's only how much ONE person is willing to pay. Take that ruby red translucent topre someone bought for 400 one day for example; another person sees that exorbitant selling price decides to sell theirs as well, but only gets 301 according to a "private offer".

Well...Candycorn blank is sold for around $80, but the skull can go for $200. Shouldn't the pricing of the Drunken Skull be similar?

No, its the other way round. Cause it is drunken skull

i have only ever won 1 clack at cost myself, and that was because cc gave me dibs
i have spent a ton on clacks, lots more than i bid there, but whenever i can i dont forward that cost on to others, that sadly is my max bid as im going out in about 5 mins, is worth a punt but i doubt it will hold

just got back
as for what im doing with it, im sorta weird about symmetry on boards, particularaly my hhkb, and as i got the gummy skull yesterday, i need something else trans to even it out, this may not fill that need for me though, so, 2 things will happen, either itll be ok and itll go in the collection forever, or i wont like it when it turns up and ill sell it to someone for the ek price or give it away
i have purposefully stayed away from these kind of auctions. and i dont agree with them, but with this specific person, its someone i know that really puts family first, and i have no doubt that this auction happened because the money would mean more to his family than this keycap would mean to him, some people may argue entering in the first place then is the issue, but now that we are here, if i was gonna bid on any of these auctions it was gonna be this one

Thank you for explaining why you partook in this auction. I understand that these are frowned upon. Ultimately I could have traded this for a CC that would fit my board but I have my Brobot for now which goes nicely with my Miami set.
I was going to use the extra money instead of a straight up trade for something else because for Christmas I want to purchase my daughter who will almost be 3 this winter a snowboard kit. (boots, bindings, snowbaord, etc). My wife and I love snowboarding and want our daughter to enjoy the sport as well and we decided that we should get her out on the snow and get her comfortable with snowboarding before trying to haul her up a mountain and giving her a kiss goodbye :). Unfortunately, the snowboard will still have to come out of our bank account as my wonderful wife apparently did not come to a complete stop when turning right on a red light and the street cam nabbed her with a nice little fine. The extra money will have to go towards that. I know everyone now is thinking, what about your daughter and her snowboard kit... As Bunny knows from the conversations I have had with him, my daughter comes first out of everything in my life so I am sure she will have a wonderful holiday season even if Santa gets the credit ;).
I can tell you that I will not be having any more auctions from this point forward and if there is to be any selling done that would not be at cost or of a non-profit genre I will take that business elsewhere.
I love this community and I feel merging family and business tends to get ugly....example, the past week.
All that to say Thank you to BunnyLake for looking past what most people could not. You truly are a wonderful person. One day I will return the favor.

Congrats bunny sir , you deserve it :)
