[ENDED: Charity Auction - yahoo62278] Bitcoin Romania Card - 100 RON in BTC

[RickDeckard]

CHARITY AUCTION

SUPPORT yahoo62278 MEDICAL RELATED EXPENSES

Bitcoin Romania Card - Loaded with 100 RON in BTC| ~ 20 € | ~ $22

Back of the card translated:

The card is your exclusive access to the platform, where 100 RON in Bitcoin is waiting for you. The code and the card are unique and can only be used once. The card is valid until September 2021* and does not represent a financial obligation.

*GazetaBitcoin has contacted Bitcoin Romania and they said that the code is still valid.

Additional information from GazetaBitcoin:

It has a scratch-able area containing a code and that code must be used on Bitcoin Romania's website for redeeming the amount you need to have an account on their exchange).

Privacy-wise, I have to say that, for registering to their platform KYC is required -- and I am not a fan of KYC, nor I can advise that. However, the winner of the card may keep it as a nice collectible item

AUCTION INTRODUCTION:

As a way to directly support yahoo62278 during a difficult period of his life, I've decided to run an auction with a recent item that I've won in a forum contest hosted by 1miau and GazetaBitcoin. As Gazeta said, this is a nice collectible, specially considering that it comes from Romania biggest crypto exchange. The highest bidder will directly send his funds to yahoo62278 donation address[1] that's being used to support medical and other related costs that he (and his family) will occur during this difficult period of his life.

DONATION ADDRESS:

Seen I had some notifications on telegram but was at my doctors appointments and couldn't reply before now. Very much appreciated @all involved. You never expect an online community to show a person so much respect to a basically anonymous person. Especially towards myself who is not always the nicest guy. You guys are a class act for doing this. The amount raised makes no difference, the gesture speaks volumes.

[1miau]

Many thanks @RickDeckard for your generous donation in support of yahoo62278! 
Regarding shipping fees if a non EU citizen wins: as organizer from our giveaway, I would pay shipping fees!

You might get some more money from our giveaway end of February because it's not sure yet, which prize I've won but I would gladly support you as well. 


Have a good and fair auction @everyone!

I can see that you are doing something good and have a link to the cause's thread, but have zero feedback/trust regarding payment/funds or anything else for that matter....

I feel like funds should be sent after winner receives item or a trusted escrow should be used

I confirm this. That's right, just as Rick Deckard stated. I am holding the card in escrow until a winner is chosen and I will ship it afterward to the winner. I hope this helps. Of course, this is valid as long as you consider me trustworthy for acting as escrow. In any case, I can ensure you that this auction is really for a honorable cause and OP is a good man.

@RickDeckard could you please confirm the auction end time?

Is it "26th February @ 21:00 PM (GMT)" -as stated in the OP-
OR
21:00 PM EEST(aka GMT+2 / Romania time) -as shown in the countdown timer link-?

Thank you for the donation and thank you so much for the offer regarding shipping fees outside EU! Just a clarification: Is it regarding customs outside EU or actually shipping fees? I also offered myself to pay for shipping fees that @GazetaBitcoin will incur, but he offered a counter deal that I couldn't agree and he ended up supporting them as well... Am I right @GazetaBitcoin?

Sorry for my late reply but meanwhile I saw that LoyceV and GazetaBitcoin both clarified the deal - I'm totally aware that I'm "nobody" regarding being trusthworthy to make any kind of deal in the forum considering my lack of feedback/trust, but if there's anyone in the forum that I have fully confidence without any questioning is, without a doubt, GazetaBitcoin. This is mostly due to his behavior and his actions throughout is presence on here and after several discussions that we've had in the past. But then again, this is my opinion which may differ from others (including the highest bidder). If needed, I may transfer an amount equal to the highest bid to an escrow until he/she receives the item in a worst case scenario.

@RickDeckard could you please confirm the auction end time?

Is it "26th February @ 21:00 PM (GMT)" -as stated in the OP-
OR
21:00 PM EEST(aka GMT+2 / Romania time) -as shown in the countdown timer link-?

Uhm that's odd. I've just opened the countdown and it currently shows London Time[1], could anyone else provide feedback? I'll search for other services more reliable in case this is more than an isolated issue. As for your question - The auction end time is 26th February @ 21:00 PM (GMT).
Thank you for all the bids so far guys! Being my first, it's really rewarding to see such high activity in the first day The sky is the limit!

I tried Tor browser from different locations, and it shows different countdowns. It looks like it uses the browser's location and bases the remaining time on the local time there.

Thank you for the quick feedback. Just to clear some doubts in the future, I've updated the countdown with a newer one that is more clear to read.

You guys might consider cancelling this auction. I was sent a pm by a mod asking me to remove my donation addresses, I assume asking is against the rules and I do not want anyone getting into trouble for me.

The gesture was very kind and i'm sorry if anyone catches any shit over this. I don't think you will FYI.

I was sent a pm by hilariousandco asking me to remove my donation addresses, I assume asking is against the rules and I do not want anyone getting into trouble for me.

Although I do not know what rules may be broken, I believe it's possible that only you broke those rules, not RickDeckard too, unless he was contacted as well by hilariousandco. I think he can do whatever he wants with the money earned -- which includes sending them to you, although you do not show anymore a visible address for donations... Does this make sense?

There were many charity auctions in the past and none was stopped (although some were scam) for breaking any rule... Furthermore, there are also two more similar auctions active right now - [Auction]CYPHER HODL-SATODIME CARD CUSTOM ARTWORKS-proceeds goto coldkey victims, ⏩⏩[AUCTION LIST] Auction for ColdKey victims of the apparent theft⏪⏪. This makes be believe that such auctions are following the rules.

It's up to RickDeckard in the end but I think he should wait to see if he is contacted for cancelling the auction prior simply cancelling it...

Fair enough, I was not told I was breaking rules just asked to remove addresses. I don't want to see anyone catch any hell over me is all.

what nonsense is this?
I have my BTC address on my profile page, am I doing something wrong?
if it's not a rule violation, it would be good to hear an explanation from mods of the exact reason for the request to remove the address.
