Sold Charity auction: 5 x Black Cat Halloween chips (1 Viewer)

This is the first of two charity auctions I'll be running, to mark my mum's upcoming birthday. She passed from cancer-related issues, so all proceeds will be going to Marie Curie.

I'm offering up 5 x Halloween chios. The top 5 highest bids will each get a chip.

Rulez

1. Bids and payment in GBP via PP F&F (so we can take advantage of Gift Aid 25% donation match in the UK)
2. Buyer pays shipping (e.g. £4 for materials and postage from UK to US)
3. I will bolt the shipping costs on to the donations
4. We can combine shipping if chips are going to the same country
5. Bids start at 1pm (0.01 GBP)
6. Bids should be unique (pls do not bid the same amount as another person)
7. Auction ends 11pm CST on Sunday 23rd October)
8. I'll record bids in OP for ease of reference

Late rule amend...

If there are any further bids, when you place a bid, please make it a unique, incremental one. Please make it at least 0.01p higher than the bid you're going up against and do not bid the same as a bid already made.

^ the unique bids will help ensure there are no tiebreak situations. Thanks!

[pltrgyst]

What's the other 13 chip? I meant to ask...

I had a custom set made years ago, with denoms 33-1/3, 2, 7, 13, and 37.

Please PM me shipping addresses so that I can calculate the postage costs.

Cheers!

 

[Shaggy]

congrats to all of the winners. Maybe we can have all of the chips shipped to one of the winners and reshipped from there... this will save some cost getting the chips across the pond. I'm willing to handle the reshipment. Though maybe it will be cheap since it is just one chip.

Shopping to US is £4 each. @liftapint and @tommythecat have already paid their shipping.

I'm matching the shipping costs and adding it onto the donations so the charity gets a bit more money.

 

[Toby]

@Shaggy your chip just went in the mail

@liftapint and @tommythecat yours went off yesterday

 

[Toby]

Thanks to everyone who took part!

All payments are in and I've made the donation to Marie Curie.

£164.50, which with Gift Aid gets topped up to £205.63.

Not bad for 5 chips!

Look out for one final charity auction in the coming weeks...

 

[tommythecat]

Got my lucky $13 precisely on Halloween!

Thanks Toby!!!

 

[SteveHNo96]

I would have bid on this but the price was just too high. I am in the market for one, specifically the $13 chip.

 

[Toby]

@liftapint @Shaggy - have you received your chips yet?

@Psypher1000 only got his yesterday, which is sloooooooowwwwwwww

 

[Psypher1000]

@Psypher1000 only got his yesterday, which is sloooooooowwwwwwww

Maybe a little bit. My experience is that envelopes from England/France take 10-13 days to arrive in my mailbox. Once it clears customs in NY it still has to make it's way across the country which is usually another 4 mailing days. I'd guess @liftapint will likely receive hers tomorrow.

I just got mine yesterday too. It's already in the display case, looking fabulous! Thanks again!

 

[Shaggy]

I have things shipped to my parents house... It likely has arrived, I just haven't picked it up yet.
