Preface: I've recently accumulated a lot of unexpected debt hovering in the $3000 range. As a result, I'm looking to auction off some items to help pay for some of this. Long story short, my 17 year old dog passed away last Tuesday and this month I have to pay double rent because my landlord wouldn't let me out of my contract early. That along with some unexpected contractor fees has built up and really put me in a tight situation. You can read more about the sad story here:
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=36149.0. If you can't see it, feel free to read the
second post.
I do want to give a public shoutout to everyone who has been extremely supportive to my dog and I. I really want to thank you all for sympathizing with me and helping me through these last few days.
Rules and information: This is your standard public auction. Post in the thread to record your bid.
No anonymous bids will be considered, so please do not PM me. Bid increments will be by $1.
Just like any auction on eBay, sniping at the last minute is completely allowed. I'm not going to have any of that 5-15 min. extensions, so please keep track of the time and when the auction ends. For your convenience, I've included a
countdown timer for when the auction ends.
The auction begins now and will end on
October 19, 2012 at 10:00pm CST. Not sure when it ends for you? Check out the
countdown timerThe countdown timer is only used as a means of reference for your timezone. In the last minute of the auction or whenever people decide to start sniping, all bids will be recorded by FORUM TIME. There is likely a discrepancy between the countdown timer and forum time. Once again, I repeat, BIDS ARE RECORDED BY FORUM TIME.Shipping: Shipping is included both domestically and internationally on smaller items. The keyboards will likely require additional costs depending on how much they go for.
Invoicing/Payment: Invoices will be sent out via PM after the auction ends. Please try to pay within 2 days, but if for whatever reason you cannot please let me know. All invoices will include a total Paypal fee of 3.5% added to the grand total.
Additional Info: 10% of the proceeds will be donated to Geekhack. If somehow I manage to pay off all my bills with this auction, I will donate the remainder to GH or upcoming community projects (i.e. Cherry legend or something like that). Also, I will be out of town between 10/11 - 10/16. So don't expect many updates to happen during this time, but I will do my best =) Just follow the thread to see the latest bids.
