EDIT: Bidding is now closed! Thank you, I'll be reaching out tomorrow morning via PM with items won and your total. Once we have a confirmation of payment received, we'll get these items sent out.
Let's get it going folks! Welcome to the 2021 Racketboy Charity Auction.
This year our donation recipients are Meat Fight and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (Via Bike MS). I (Blu) will be attempting to complete a "century ride" in San Antonio on October 2nd, which is at least 100 miles in distance from beginning to end.
Meat Fight has provided my road bike kit, and funds raised from the Charity Auction will 1. help "pay it forward" to others living with MS (so they can receive a bike too!) and, 2. support scientific research towards disease modifying treatments (DMT's) and a deeper understanding Multiple Sclerosis, for the future of a world without MS. Both Meat Fight and the National MS Society directly support scientific research!
Fine print & details of the rules: ▼▼▼ Please read ▼▼▼
Every cent of the money bid on the items (any funds sent to rb21meatcharity@gmail.com) will be transferred as a lump-sum on Sunday, September 26th to https://andrewmeatfightandbikems.causevox.com/. Bidding will start at the price listed (either a. a donor-agreed reserve price or b. the estimated shipping, rounded up to the nearest dollar) and each bid must be at least $1 more. Bids are made by posting in this thread. Please state the number of the item you wish to place a bid on, as well as the dollar amount you are bidding. For example, "#10 - $7" or "I bid $7 on item 10." Funds are all US dollars. The auction will run up until midnight (11:59:59 PM Central Time) on Saturday, September 18th, 2021. Donors will be reimbursed for shipping costs, via PayPal. I've found that small items are easier to manage with shipping costs; Keep that in mind when donating.
Winners are expected to transfer any payment due before Saturday, September 25th by 11:59PM Central Time and items are expected to ship to the winners before Saturday, October 9th so long as payment has been made. Payment must be received before I will instruct donors to ship their items. Payments are accepted via paypal @ rb21meatcharity@gmail.com, though we can accept other payment methods if necessary and would directly move the funds. Disclosure: This PayPal address is held by Anapan and access will be provided to moderators Ziggy587 and Marurun in case of Anapan's absence. For PayPal payment, please make payment as "gift" to eliminate fees.
A current list of items donated is available for viewing here.
All bids will received will be logged in the post below, and on the second tab of the Charity Auction spreadsheet above.
