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

CST in op

Bidding is open

So if I make the 5 highest bids I could win all 5? They would go great in the Divide mixed casino set with the Cedar Room $11s. ...or playing in the Mike's set.

OK. My bids will be structured like this (1GBP, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 - all in GBP) 1 post includes 5 bids.

 

[Toby]

£15

You could do 5 bids of £3 and still be ahead!

 

[slisk250]

Wow already more than 20 USD a chip to get them all....(swallows hard and sweats)

True...but I really really really want one of those chips!!!

 

[slisk250]

True...but I really really really want one of those chips!!!

Maybe I'll just bid to get 4 of them

 

[pltrgyst]

20 British pounds (from the owner of the only other 13 denom chip I've ever seen!
.

 

[Toby]

If you acquire any of them then at least I'll get to check them out in person next summer

 

[Toby]

20.5, 20.4, 20.3, 20.2

Shit just got real yo!

 

[BNM]

Are the bids we post her supposed to be "per chip"? That only actual bid I see the the 15 pounds-stirling one.

Nevermind, Chippers with deeper pockets than I just priced these into craziness. Happy Days for the charity cause!

Price is per chip! Top 5 bids are recorded in op

It's for a worthy charity; it's 13; and it has black cats. :

25, 25, 25, and 25 -- four bids for four black cat chips.

Anything to help the Brexit cause along...

Your efforts to reinvigorate our economy are appreciated, Larry!

Well hell Larry! I guess you really want them all. Very well sir. Glad that Toby will be making a sizable contribution!

I think you're still in line to get the fifth one, no?

 

[pltrgyst]

Hey, we'll be back in London next Thursday -- I'm just trying to raise the value of the pounds we've already bought!

 

[pltrgyst]

Not really all -- just bid for four, since you bid for four. Left you one, as your bids left me one. :

I'm not really greedy -- I'd be very happy with two, pretty happy with one. Should this bid hold up, just let me know how many you really want/need.

 

[slisk250]

I'd like 20 of them but will settle for one. Something tells me we aren't even close with our bids.

You make convincing arguments:

26, 26, 26, 26, and 26 - five bids for five black cat chips.

And now I'll sit back and watch you all beat that within a few minutes.

 

[Psypher1000]

27 pounds for one, please.

 

[liftapint]

27 for one please.
