Call to Arms: Charity 2018 ($38609 final result raised)

[TheSteven]

To koshdukai

I raised my previous bid by $35. Luftrum has allowed $100+ bids ending in 5s like these ones:

PSP TotalPack. High bidder: ATS $125
2C Aether Pack. High bidder: oldaq $135
2C B2 Pack. High bidder: thejonsolo $125
2C Kaleidoscope Pack. High bidder: thejonsolo $125

So I'm sure my bid is valid.

*EDIT* On the 2C B2 Pack, thejonsolo raised the previous bid by indionat from $110 to $125, and Luftrum accepted this, so my bid is definitely allowed.

Rule is (and has been in previous years) that bids over $100 are in $10 increments ($110, $120, etc.).
That the above listed bids were accepted is a glitch/mistake/oversight and should not be taken a rule modification.

Checkpoint!
All bids are updated. We have raised $25330 so far and there's 6 days left. I will later post bidding rules regarding the final day of the fundraising, how to transfer funds etc.

Don't forget we got a 2nd hand auction running too, managed by EnGee. Here you can donate your old and unused plugins to a good cause and bid on stuff too - go grab a bargain!

Need Help!
There's a lot of companies who have donated before but haven't responded this year, this could very well be due to my email landing in their spam folder so I need help from you guys. Could you please contact the companies below and tell them that this fundraising exists and it's not too late to join and we are raising funds for our planet and the children and they would suffer no harm in donating stuff like the rest of the industry does:

• Spectrasonics
• Moog
• Propellerhead
• Heavyocity
• XferRecords
• Samplephonics
• Twisted Tools
• Ableton
• Sugar Bytes
• Focusrite
• Cytomic
• Joey Sturgis Tones
• Presonus
• Antares Tech
• Blue Cat Audio
• Madrona Labs
• Tone2

Sorry, but next year(s) you better assemble such a list and contact those companies a month before the Auction takes place, to give them plenty of time to respond and prepare a donation.

[BMoore]

Really? Energy-XT?

Sorry for the OT.

[BBFG#]

Seems to me that any bid made after $100. Is subject to the $10 as a minimum. So if someone made a $15 bid on something where the last bid was $90, making it $105, then the next $10 bid would make it $115. Of course, the bidder would be free to make a $15 bid if they thought it would help the overall scheme of things. But that same bidder would not be allowed to simply bid $5 more just to achieve the same symmetry.
Bids should be minimum 10 or a number divisible by 5.

The efforts he makes are far beyond what we think and he indeed makes the contacts prior to the time of the campaign.

Some of those manufacturers are either busy attending exhibitions or really didn't get the emails.
