MTO contribute auction.
on: April 29, 2011, 09:04:47 AM
OK guys here is what I came with.

While I can't use PP without risk of blocking my account by trigger happy guys from PP, and I want to contribute to MTO somehow I got this idea which I have disscussed with Grant.

I'm putting a The Jimmi X wallet on auction here and here are some ground rules.

- Auction will last for a month starting as of this post, and it will end on 31st of May at 24.00h local time (that's Central Europe Time), after that I'll bang on desk 3 times "Sold to the (fill in your name here)" and declare the highest bidder
- The winner, or the highest bidder will then be instructed via PM's for further actions. What will happen is that the bidder will put a payment on Grant's account, Grant will give me "go ahead" and I'll send the item to the winner.
- The bidding will take place on forum (no PM's) as a reply, just state the value you are bidding without any copy-paste or quotes (just to keep things simple)
- Value and bidding would be in US$ again for simplicity.
- The offered item is one brand new Mr. Smith Jimmi X Wallet at starting value of 5$

- Keep looking it's possible that I'll add some more stuff here as we go along  :D :tu:

For any further questions please contact me via PM's and I'll update this thread wit A.

The pics are of the actual auction item.

Nice one EDC  :tu:, but we can't let sparky win it - the insulating rating won't be high enough  :D :D :D

I just got this in my e-mail. Not sure if I'm happy with this kind of mails. 

What is being auctioned is a mystery to me [anybody care to elaborate/explain?], and by PP I take it you mean paypal? [the only means for me to fork over money]

Here is some info on the Jimi Wallet:

http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,26537.0.html

This is not a mandatory thing, it's a fun auction, meant to be enjoyed.

PP does indeed mean Paypal.
