Hello everyone!

I'd also like to play my part in raising at least a little money for Geekhack. So I have made 1 special Geekhack pack, from me!
This pack contains one orange on charcoal (it actually does look like a piece of charcoal) cake, which is sparkly, and ORANGE SCENTED, GOD DAMN ORANGE SCENTED! I will also be including a sparkly and orange scented 2X backspace, hand signed and protected in varnish by me. It will be signed with the word "Geekhack" on the top, and the username of the lucky winner on the front! It also won't come in my usual packaging, it'll be a little more personalised. The polish I am using for these caps is very hard to work with, and requires a lot of effort for me to get a nice bright orange, while also retaining my trademark thick, gooey texture. The pictures you see are the in progress photos of each cap and what you receive will look MUCH better!
The only cost I am looking for here is the possibility of tracked international shipping, so I am going to start the auction at 8USD.

The Rules:
1) This is an auction which will end on SATURDAY 24TH NOVEMBER AT 19:00GMT.
2) Any bids after 18:55GMT will extend the auction by 10 minutes until we have an actual winner. Alessandro can't keep up with snipers.
3) Please bid in USD and in increments of at least 1USD.
4) The auction will start at 8USD and this will be removed from my donation at the end of the auction. This will just cover tracked international shipping anywhere in the world. All other money will go to Geekhack.
5) Once the auction is over, I will invoice the winner with my paypal address and the cost to be paid, also asking for their address.
6) Please pay within 24 hours of the auction ending, or it will be sold to the next highest bidder.
7) Payment by Paypal and the buyer takes the fees please.

Here are the pictures below. Good luck to all!

Alessandro

WINNER: jdcarpe- 71USD

GLWA. I don't really like auctions, but at least it's going to GH.

Sifo · « **Reply #2 on:** Sun, 18 November 2012, 13:51:09 »

Looks good so far, GLWA. Can't afford to participate but will be following closely

JSaintS · « **Reply #3 on:** Sun, 18 November 2012, 14:12:49 »

Imma start at 20

Why would you bid in GBP when this is primarily a US site, with funds going to a US site? Just curious.

Makes it a little easier for me but I can change it to USD if it would be easier for everyone else.

I think that everyone in the world values keycaps in dollars!

Alessandro · « **Reply #7 on:** Sun, 18 November 2012, 14:22:39 »

Will edit accordingly!

Well, typically fund raisers have the money going directly to GH, so they can worry about the money part. You just need to ship it to the winner

Alessandro · « **Reply #9 on:** Sun, 18 November 2012, 14:24:31 »

Edited accordingly, the first bid now stands at 20USD to leave a little more room for others.

IPT · « **Reply #10 on:** Sun, 18 November 2012, 14:30:02 »

25 USD!

I have to say, that charcoal and orange is absolutely stunning! A lot of your caps weren't really my thing but that's more up my street! $65

Alessandro · « **Reply #14 on:** Sun, 18 November 2012, 15:35:07 »

Thanks dude! It's going to look a lot better when it's done!

Alessandro · « **Reply #15 on:** Mon, 19 November 2012, 10:21:44 »

I have the feeling people have shown their high bids a week before the end. That leaves a lot of time, that's not very good!

asura · « **Reply #16 on:** Mon, 19 November 2012, 12:28:37 »

So keep us entertained! Do a little dance or something...

Needs more entertainment:

Alessandro · « **Reply #20 on:** Wed, 21 November 2012, 14:54:55 »

The cake has been completed and the signed cap is ready to be signed and clear coated!

*God damn it, there's no way I can keep this thread running until saturday evening...

Post up a picture of the pre-signed cap, it may tease some more money out of us!

Will do ASAP tomorrow, need to write Geekhack on it.

Alessandro · « **Reply #23 on:** Thu, 22 November 2012, 02:00:16 »

Have an update on the signed cap:

My handwriting is already bad enough, but using a nail art pen on the cap makes me look like a total spastic. Hope you don't mind, the writing is still legible.

Alessandro · « **Reply #24 on:** Thu, 22 November 2012, 09:57:58 »

To make up for what the signed cap is going to look like with my personal handwriting, I have decided to include all of my keycap series in this to truly make it a Geekhack pack! I will be making and adding a black and orange quake!
