Overgrow Auction Fundraiser 2022 Round 1 šŸƒ

yep, got to accept the rulings of @LemonadeJoe but agreed that a tag would be nice even in the last minute

plus it lets me know i lost my slots without me having to search through and remember what i bid on and what i lost + it was stated in the rules to tagā€¦
just saying. my memory gets faded when i doā€¦

Great work everyone :clap: so Iā€™m the highest bid on 1 lot, who do I send the money to? I tried looking over everything but I canā€™t find out the process. Thanks guys peace :v:

I believe all the winning bidders have to wait for @LemonadeJoe to PM each winner with the payment details/instructions.

Gonna put forth a proposition, ANYONE who I outbid at THE LAST SECOND, if you donate HALF of your LAST BID to OG, I will send you a HALF PACK of the item!!! Consider it SNIPER ETIQUETTE!! SS/BWā€¦mister :honeybee: :100: :pray: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: NOTE: To be exact, the Rules states: ā€œWhenever you outbid someone, PLEASE tag him/her using @ to notify him/her.ā€ If a member bids at 58.3 Seconds, how can one tag them at say, 58.8 Seconds? The ā€œSniper Trickā€ is to bid several increments higher, regardless of who the LAST BIDDER is. No Lawyer here, but @LemonadeJoe is!!! It may appear ā€œshadyā€, but within the Rules!! My offer stands!!

iā€™ll be happy to take you up on that offer there @misterbee, i think we have some old unfinished business between us anywayā€¦ Iā€™ll search through my old PMs and refresh that thread

**Also, in the spirit of OG iā€™ll happily donate my full bid price ($30) to OG for half of the lot quantity you sniped me on without the tagā€¦ (#32 Whiskey Sour)

this is a very cool offer of you @misterbee. i was on my phone during the final minutes of the auction, so i actually had to scroll back up to the top and check to see what my lot number was, ergo i was just a little bit too slow to get in my final bid. but you bid more than i would have on my lot, so iā€™m gonna let it go.

certainly tagging someone youā€™re outbidding is a nice courtesy, but it hadnā€™t been enforced during the early parts of bidding, so i donā€™t see why it would be strictly enforced during the final parts.

ultimately the auction was to have fun and to raise some funds for overgrow. i had a lot of fun and it looks like thereā€™ll be a few dollars headed to overgrow. so mission successful overall iā€™d say. there are so many seeds floating through overgrow that iā€™m sure if i missed something i wanted, it will come my way sooner or later. happy growing yā€™all! looking forward to part 2 of the auction.

INDEED, if we have ā€œunfinished businessā€, by all means, run it back. I try not to leave ANYONE hanging out there, if itā€™s in MY control. SS/BWā€¦mister :honeybee: :100: :pray: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

if that is the case, it makes sense. i accepted the ruling without an issue, the whole experience is in good fun, never believed otherwise. just agreed with a need for certainty on the playing rules (but i didnt know it had not been enforced earlier on)

class act. youre giving away free half of your won seeds for more OG donations.

Iā€™m happy to see the community spirit overwhelm desire to win here, really nice display of decency everybody, but I have one important question that hasnā€™t been covered yetā€¦

When we doing it again? :+1:

I am sure it will be soon @potpotpot and like the last one will run for a few days so nobody will miss it.

The rule should be ā€œno tags reqā€ in the final 30 seconds.
That sets up the strategies right there.bid enough or snipe.
The ruling was good, lol :slight_smile:

I donā€™t see why there needs to be a rule. Tagging a person is really a courtesy so the person being outbid gets a notification letting them know they were outbid. Itā€™s not like anyone outbid in the last few seconds has the time to bid again so I get why itā€™s accepted. Tagging will save someone having to go through multiple posts to see they were outbid though so it does not feel like a big inconvenience.

I humbly disagree, you cannot change rules once the auction has started, itā€™s not a fair move, money is not all in this life, happened to me before and thatā€™s why I stay away, all this said with much respect ā€¦ :pray:

As a newb im on the fence. I had 2 lots and realized i would not be able to secure both if someone was bidding on my lots. I wrote out the lot i was most concerned about and posted an @ sign to be ready for the onslaught.
At the end of the day the vibe I got was this is about donations to keep the site im beginning to love rolling. So i will do my part and im going to donate a buck for every lot posted next round.
