Posted: Fri May 01, 2020 10:31 am Excessive CC-Points for Cash Auction - $30+$20+$10+2x$5
Dear Crushers,
I'm very pleased to bring back our Excessive CC-Points for Cash auction!
THIS AUCTION IS FOR 1 x $30 CASH, 1 x $20 CASH and 1 x $10 CASH (for top 3 bidders!)
(Plus 2 x $5 for 500 CCpoints random non-winning eligible bidder prizes)
BUT NOTE THIS IS ONLY FOR THOSE WITH AT LEAST 100,000 CCpoints
(see below for the eligible list as at 1st May 2020)
There will be more auctions with different qualifying criteria in future.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF RULES (PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM INCREASE LIMITS FOR BIDDING)
MINIMUM STARTING BID: 100,000 CC-POINTS
MINIMUM INCREASE TO PREVIOUS BID IS 1,000 CCPOINTS *
MAXIMUM INCREASE TO PREVIOUS BID IS 10,000 CCPOINTS *
***************************************************************
YOU MUST MAKE AT LEAST 5 ELIGIBLE BIDS BEFORE THE END IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR *ANY* OF THE PRIZES!
***************************************************************
* ANYONE THAT IGNORES THESE INCREASE LIMITS (EVEN BY ACCIDENT) WILL GET *ONE WARNING* AND AFTER THIS - ANY FURTHER BID THAT IS OUTSIDE THE LIMITS WILL MEAN THEY CAN NOT TAKE PART IN THE CURRENT AUCTION (name will show as 'Disqualified' on the bottom list) - BUT WILL BE OK TO START THE NEXT ONE.
AUCTION ENDS:
31ST MAY 2020 23:59:59 EST (FORUM TIME) (any bids submitted after this time will be invalid)
(as shown at the top right of the forum)
You can check how many CC-points you have in many ways but here's the simplest:-
- From the top forum menu, click on the top left option PORTAL.
- Scroll down and see "who is online" and find your name and click on it.
- This will show your profile including all your current points totals.
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
Over the years many of you have won and earned many many CCpoints and those of you with a lot of them I want to give you the opportunity to be able to convert some of them with very little effort (as you already made lots of effort to earn and win them) ...
HERE IS HOW TO TAKE PART:-
1. First CHECK YOU HAVE AT LEAST 100,000 CCPOINTS (see above OR if you're on the list below)
2. CHECK THE LAST BID (OR MINIMUM if you are the first) . Each bid made MUST be AT LEAST 1,000 CCPOINTS HIGHER (BUT NO MORE THAN 10,000 CCPOINTS HIGHER) THAN THE PREVIOUS BID -- or equal to the minimum if you are the first bidder)
3. REPLY to this topic with your bid in CC-POINTS (you can add any other comments / words that are relevant as all bids will be checked manually)
4. You may make further higher bids if you wish (but obviously only worth doing so if someone else has bid higher).
5. Over the course of the auction you must make AT LEAST 5 bids (there is no upper limit to the number of bids you can make but you must make at least 5 ELIGIBLE bids to be able to win any of the prizes).
So your bid can be in the form "Another awesome auction! -- I bid 100,000 CCpoints for one of the $30, $20 or $10 prizes" ....
AT THE END OF THE AUCTION DATE (SEE ABOVE) ...
The highest *valid* bidder(s) will have their CC-points deducted by the amount(s) of their winning bid(s) and the prize(s) will be credited AND PAID as a priority (following day or as soon as funds available) (along with any other prizes pending payment for the winning bidder(s) ).
- As there are 3 main prizes:-
- The highest eligible bidding winner will get the $30 prize for their highest eligible bid CC-points.
- The 2nd highest eligible bidding winner will get the $20 prize for their highest eligible bid CC-points.
- The 3rd highest eligible bidding winner will get the $10 prize for their highest eligible bid CC-points
2 x $5 (for 500 CCpoints) random prize draw for non-winning bidders!
- At the end of the auction, any eligible non-winning bidders will be entered into a random draw for a 2 x $5 prizes (for 500 CCpoints). This prize will be paid along with other prizes in the normal way.
RULES:-
- Please PARTICIPATE SENSIBLY - This is something still relatively NEW and as such rules are subject to improvement.
- YOU MAY NOT DONATE CC-POINTS TO OTHERS - SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK!
- DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH CC-POINTS TO DO SO!
- DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MINIMUM CC-POINTS BALANCE (AT THE TOP OF THE CONTEST)
- ANY COMMENTS POSTED WITHOUT A BID WILL MOST LIKELY BE DELETED (any questions - please post them as a reply and I will answer - but they will be removed at the end of the auction and any rules improved in this post).
- ANY BIDS MADE AFTER THE AUCTION END TIME WILL BE REMOVED BEFORE DECLARING THE WINNER.
- ANYONE THAT HAD MORE THAN 100,000 CC-POINTS AT THE START OF THE AUCTION IS ELIGIBLE FOR THIS AUCTION.
- YOU CAN CHECK IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE BY CHECKING AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST ....
(There is no "minimum new topic posting requirement" - just a simple auction).
IF NOBODY BIDS OR THERE ARE NOT A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF BIDS:-
- Then no problem - there will be no further auctions for CC-points and we will try something else.
AND ONCE AGAIN - DEPENDING ON HOW THIS ONE GOES - WE MAY HAVE MORE IN THE FUTURE ... PERHAPS WITH SLIGHT CHANGES ....
So, let's see how we go! Let the bidding commence!
