Selling: CBD for USD! Final Charity Sale! (in General)

Just to start off, I'd like to thank the Community for raising (thus far!) a total of $45,526,828 for the Child's Play Charity! That's absolutely fantastic! The money raised will now be auctioned off for USD, which will then be donated to Child's Play.

The money, as has been done before, will be split into bundles of $5 million, to be sold and bid on individually.

If you would like to place a bid, please post here in this thread with the amount you would like to bid on and your price/million.

This may not be quite over yet, though - I still have a couple more items waiting to be sold/for payment to arrive. So watch for an update, there may be another bundle added!


The bidding will start at $6.00/million, and this sale will last until the 21st at midnight server time! Please do be generous with your bids, and remember the cause for which you are buying! Thanks again to everyone who has donated so far and who will be buying in this sale!

my bid usd 6 per mil cbd for Bundle No.9

Before I go any further with this, btw - just so everyone knows:


For Credit Cards:

I can only accept TWO more credit card payments to my PayPal for the next year - that is, until September of '08.

There is also a reception fee when using a credit card with PayPal:

"To accept this payment for a low transaction rate of 4.9% plus $0.30 USD without upgrading your account, click Accept This Payment."

For these reasons, using PayPal - not credit card through PayPal, but funds within a PayPal account - is highly suggested.

So if you must use a credit card...please let me know via Chatmail. I only have -ONE- spot left open for a credit card user.

Thanks to all who have bid, all bundles now have a bid! Now if anyone would like to outbid anyone else on a bundle, feel free! ;'D

since we are talking about charity here, I will go $8/mil on bundle 1

Feeling a bit guilty about my bid so I'm going to have to retract it.
Or to make it easier, I'd like to place a bid of 7 per mil on j'bob's bundle.
Take that Mr. 'bob, You've been outbid.

ok, i'll follow suit, make my bundle usd 7 per mil CBD :)

$7/ for bundle #4.

$10 per 8 bundles (this is not because I want the CB$ desperately I hope you understand). I also wont outbid anyone who outbids me (except for maybe one bundle :) )

If I understand Freed correctly, the bid now stands at $10 for bundles 1 & 2 and 4 - 9 by Freed. Bundle 3 is at $10 with QBBM.

I'll go $11 on Bundle 9.

is the current bid per million or per bundle?

...Wow!

A bump to the top of the Active Threads before I head off to sleep! ;'D

I hate you Freed. I can't afford $10/mil.

Sorry I can't buy any now, Charity. Good luck with the sale.

Is it too late to send money to the Charity account? I missed it!

I have had a couple of comments about my bid - for heavens sake its for charity and a very good one at that - there is no pleasing some people. If someone wants to bid I'll return two bundles - but please contact charity (character) to organise.

It isn't too late at all, Jenni. I'm going to create a 10th bundle right after the sale ends for these 9, and that will be all the money Charity had left after the 9 bundles. So any donations now will go into the 10th bundle! ^_^

Thanks to everyone for contributing, it is -greatly- appreciated, whether you have done so via donations, purchases, or CBD bids!

and I remember when the starting bids were $10/mil. They used to sell for $16 or $17/mil. Why would people be complaining about charity. This once used to be the going rate, and it wasn't that long ago.

To whom this may apply: The money is going to sick kids. Stop giving people grief. That's all I can say and remain PG.

Let me just say I can understand why someone might be upset with Freed initially. I was. Just a bit. But then the second hand on the clock moved and I was forced to smile at another persons generosity. Yes it would have been nice to get some CBD for a charitable donation (the only way I'll pay for it right now) but I'd rather someone come along and beat my bid into the dirt! Thanks Freed.
If someone really wants CBD, there are plenty of people who'll sell it for 7 dollars per. If you really want to donate to this great cause, just go to the web site and you can even pick a hospital that's close to you if you like.
In short, good for you Freed for raising the bar.

big paycheck came in today (working 20 of 21 days so far this month will do that) and now I am feeling generous enough to try and steal one of Freed's bundles for $11/mil

I'll put you down for #1 then, toitle. ^_^

Only 8.5 hours remain (if my math is good) until this sale ends!

bumping, since the time remaining is short!

I can be angry if I want to be. It isn't non-PG to be angry. And even if its a charity doesn't mean I have all the money in the world.

I guess I'll take $11/mil for one bundle.

Whatever, make it two bundles like it was in the beginning. Each $11/mil.

These people have won their bids! Congratulations! I'll be creating a tenth bundle shortly after I send you all your money - and I'm Chatmailing you my PayPal so you know where to send the money! Thanks! --- Your CBD is on its way, I am transferring the proper amounts to each of you now!

I thought about making it 7,777,777...but nah, that'd just be odd and I'd lose count of my 7's. Anywho, bid away! This is the last bundle for sale, and it ends in 23.5 hours!

Paid in Full.

Paid in full as well.

Paid also

and paid

Last, but still oh, so pretty - paid! :P

Bump, there's a bundle left!

No bidders? This ends in close to 3 hours!

$35.00 for the bundle. I figure the dollar per million isn't important since its the last bundle.
This is the most my budget affords me, I'm not trying to be cheap. Just helping bump the post and get the last minute bidding moving.
(if Charity decides not to sell for this low and no one else bids I will honor that!)
so in a nutshell... BUMP.

I bid $35.00 for the whole bundle. But keep in mind when accepting (or rejecting) this bid that I can't pay before I turn 18 and get a PP witch will be on 26th December.

My wife will kill me, but I'll bump it to $40 if it's not too late...

I bid $42.00 but as stated earlier, I can pay in about a week but not right away.

If timeliness (sp?) is an issue, I'll front BBBBBBB (ben) and pay thru my pp account and hold the CB dollars until which time he gets his account and pays me and thus gets his CB dollars. :)
Whatever amount he bids.

Alright, well I couldn't end it at the proper time due to falling asleep at the keyboard, BUT - that turned out for the best anyways.

BluBBen wins with a $42 bid...and yes, j'bob, that sounds like a great plan. I can either send the money to you to hold or hold the money myself on Charity until he sends his payment to save the x-fers cost, whichever is preferred. I'll CM you both now. ^_^ Hurrah, it'll get there before Christmas!
