VICKREY AUCTION - BABOLEX CARD PACK
This is a well established format for auctions, but not one I've seen used here on the forum before.
Please read carefully and ask any questions prior to bidding if you do not understand.
A Vickery auction is a "closed envelope" auction where bidders do not know what bids others have submitted.
THE WINNER OF THE AUCTION IS THE PERSON WHO SUBMITS THE HIGHEST BID.
THE WINNER PAYS THE SECOND HIGHEST BIDDER'S BID. Bids will be submitted via PM to me directly.
I will respond to you with a quote of your bid and update the thread with all who have placed a bid, but the bids will remain secret until the auction is over.
My knowledge of the bids does not impact in anyway other's bids. If you do not trust me, do not bid, but this is hard for me to manipulate.
Once auction is over I will post quoted bids placed by every bidder.
This will determine the winner and price.
PLEASE READ THAT AGAIN to be sure you fully understand the auction format.
Auction Terms
Up for auction is 1 (one) unopened pack of 7 (seven) Babolex cards.
Made by Vincent Faudemer this pack is the English, orange, version and contains cards depicting the cartoon character Babolex and the 7 wonders of the ancient world. These cards were originally produced in French, but this is the English version.
There are 49 total cards to collect and each has a secret code that (according to the website) will be able to be redeemed for the printed satoshi value on the card and for game tokens to the future Vincent Faudemer token (I remain skeptical about these claims).
I make no guarantee about the cards in the pack, their value, or future ability to redeem them for anything.
Here is more information direct from the website if you are interested:
