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

[hhuang9611]

hi
A reply came from Luftrum about last night's "Avenger"

Luftrum said "I do believe the list is correct though...." and that "nitpicking"
he even did not even check the facts.
Is Luftrum really a shop?
He said "nitpicking" to paying the money.

And…
Yesterday, hhuang 9611 reply to me, as soon as I pointed out the mistake, he disappeared.
He seems to have paid in silence afterwards.

This is charity.
So I was putting a big amount from the beginning.
But, afterwards, little by little,To him who came to "buy" as cheaply as possible, I was stolen at the same price.

Is there such a terrible thing?
It is surprising that you can show ugly things so far at the charity site.

Everyone, I want you to donate feelings to me.
(For example, a gentle word :_(
I had a so bad time.

Also there are a few points I need to point out.
Why you bids are considered "charity" while my bids are considered buying as cheap as possible??? Don't your bids are less than listing price too??? I think the point of charity is that we can have a chance to have a bargain while donate to charity AT THE SAME TIME.

And, it is not me who replaced your bid. It is someone else with $160 bid. Even if I didn't get the bid, you bid will be replaced by $160 bid anyway. Remember, there are two $160 bids and your $150 bid is not at the bottom. So your $150 bid won't survive anyway.

"OK
I felt your sincerity
I am not convinced of the fact
But I am not mad at you anymore"
and I intended to end this discussion.

So, you should not say unnecessary, ridiculous things

Because there are only four bidders over $ 130.
You should check not only the price but also the name of the bidder.
Without your wrong bid, there are only three bidders left.

Tracing back through posts bidding for VPS Avenger, it looks as though there was a short period when there were three $150 bids in place and then two $160 bids quickly came in. I would assume that yours happened to be one that was displaced by one of those $160 bids under the top-to-bottom rule.

The moral of the story is, if you don't want that to get knocked out 'randomly', bid a bit more than the others.

The difference of 1 minute is not an excuse for replacing bidders
Because it stops the bid which passed several seconds.

I'm tired.
So bad time.

Peace!
I paid my stuff, now looking forward to playing with it...
And in one months time (after Black Friday) I‘ll be bust but happy!

Sorry... But I didn't see where you wrote that

If you said that, I would not write the second post... I posted that because I feel like you are accusing me of bidding. But if you would like to end this discussion, then great! That's what I would like to do too. Sorry about your bad feelings.

Sent the donation and forwarded the receipt.

Many thanks to you for hosting this event and to everybody that participated!

[Tj Shredder]

I paid and forwarded my receipt...
TimeWARP2600, Simons HALion Bundle, Aalto...
I am very happy, even that some bids did not get through...; - ) I am not as broke as I could have been and there are upcoming black Friday specials...
Anyway, each of the three I would not have bought regularly. No "loss" for the donators at all...
As I do have the Arturia Arp, there isn't really a need to get another emu, but I did own the original in the past - motivation enough to compare the two...
I usually do not invest into sound ware, but I highly respect the work of Simon (knew his father...) and I hardly scratched the surface of Halion. I expect to learn a lot from that...
I do have the Magware mono version of Aalto, and had my tricks to run multiple instances to get more than one voice. With a full version Its getting much easier now...
Happy...
(Usually a good deal is win-win, this is even better, win-win-win...)
Big thanks @ Luftrum...

I had this same thought as well. Also I am tempted to go pay full price for something that I did not win... maybe I was seduced by the demo sounds. Good for the donators.
