Bidding starts at 15 BTC and bids must be a minimum of .1 BTC increments. Please bid in this thread. The auction will end at 11PM GMT on May 28th. To prevent any auction sniping there will be a 10 minute window after the final bid to allow for additional bids (a bid at 10:58PM will result in the auction ending at 11:08PM. An additional bid at 11:05PM will result in the auction ending at 11:15PM)
I will escrow as long as all fees are paid by the buyer.
