Ok, so I received an amazing parcel from Udo who is very well connected in the Carcassonne world and I now have some even more amazing items for the auction.

I have photographed everything I have in my possession to sell for the charities and I have added the pictures here.  Danisthirty still has some spiel tiles and Decar has a non Carcassonne game as well.

These items will be auctioned in the coming months when things get a little more back to normal and people will be more able to spend on non essentials. 

Some of these are truly unique and special collectables BUT I have made the decision that I will sell the donated items at whatever they go for - no reserve. 

Start saving if there is anything you see that you want and when the auction starts up again, you can start bidding.

I hope that your families and friends are ok in these troubling times and that you are also looking after yourselves and your mental health.  I know I have had some tough days recently but I run to feel better.  Run, cycle, walk, speak to friends, sing, paint, read, dance, do whatever you need, just keep well.

I managed to ship the magazine's today.

The auction will restart in the next few weeks I hope.

Would anyone like a full list of lots which are left so that you can work out what you would like to try to buy?

Rosco

(I think) so far you've given updates on how items are going and then kept the final bids secret within a few hours of the close and selling.
Are you able to update us on what each of the Spiel tiles are currently up to? (If I'm out of line, just say no, I won't mind.)

Cheers
Hi Cicerunner

I have stopped the auctions for now.  When it is back on, I will let you all know via this thread. 

The items from KJW and Doris are really worth the wait.  Start saving the pennies now!!

Hi Ross,

i guess you can continue the auction. Of course you can ship them in some weeks. But I believe that you are trustable  ;)

Best
Trouble is that many people don't have any or much income at the moment so money spent on board game collectibles is not too of the list.  It is better to wait a while so people feel more able to spend and i can post within a couple of days of the auction.

Have you posted the items already purchased?
Yours is packaged up ready to go.  But we are self isolating at present so can't post.  It will be posted as soon as I can go into a shop/post office.

Having further thought about the situation and in light of new restrictions in the uk (I won't be able to leave the house to post things),  I am suspending the auction until movement and work restrictions are lifted. 

I will post a list of what has not been sold as yet and what I would expect to raise from them so people can save some pennies to bid if the items excite them enough.

I CANNOT post anything for the next few weeks.

Many thanks for you support so far.

Ross

I totally get it. 

It is a difficult time, particularly for self employed and freelancers.

I would like to make this available to everyone so if finances are tight and you want to bid on something, I am happy to wait for the payment.  Am of course I will be sensitive about it.

Due to Corona Virus I know a lot of people may be down on their luck financially and as such I feel it would be unfair to keep hassling you all to pay money to my charities. 

What I suggest is to keep the auction running and if anyone wants something, and bids a fair price, they will be sent the item and if they need some time to pay, or would like to pay half now and half in a couple of months, that is fine.  I want to help my charities still, especially as the other events I planned for fund raising now can't happen, so I will be doing what I can.

Any items that haven't sold will be listed with a fixed price at the end. 

The next lot is a good one!!

It will be posted later today.

Lots 7, 8 and 9

This is a break from the norm as these are not Carcassonne related and 3 of the games have been donated by Tom Hill.

Many thanks Tom

Lot 7

Kodama - including promos for it too.


Lot 8

Jackpot

Cthulhu realms - is like star realms


Lot 9

Zogars Gaze - brand new, never played.

I am unsure of the value of these so within reason, there is no reserve!!

Get bidding folks!!
