I am looking to auction my sleipnir bpo. This auction thread is a pre-auction announcement only until the starting timer has been reached to give interested buyers the opportunity to free some liquid ISK.
Facts upfront:
AUCTION START: 2011.12.14 0:00 EVE-Time AUCTION END: 2011.12.22 20:00 EVE-Time SNIPER RULE: 12 hours
STARTING BID: 1 Billion ISK MINIMUM BID INCREMENT: 500 Million ISK RESERVE: 144 Billion ISK BUYOUT: No Buyout
INGAME BIDS: No NPC CORP BIDS: No
ITEM LOCATION: Continuous HighSec, but a tad bit remote TRANSPORT: You are free to transport it after you received it, I will not.
LINK:Sleipnir BPO Stats
Now.... as I said, auction starts on the 14th of December and ends on the 22nd. Sniper rule is 12 hours to reduce timezone advantages. This means if the high bid comes in more than 12 hours before the scheduled auction end, the auction ends at that time. Otherwise, the auction extends and ends 12 hours after the unanswered high bid was posted.
Edited bidding posts are invalid. Bids from members of npc corporations are invalid. Bids prior to auction start or after auction end are invalid.
I do not like reserves, and much less hidden reserves. But I recognize that buyers may want to check out other interested parties without committing - therefor starting bid is below reserve, but reserve is public.
There is no planned buyout. But I am going to be honest, if someone offers me... like.... I don't know.... 600 billion ISK I'll probably accept that as buyout. It is a rather unlikely event though.
The BPO is currently in production, but if the deities of corporate unlocking deem me worthy, it will be finished, unlocked and ready for contracting at the scheduled auction end.
The production time shown on the screenshot is obviously with full skills and F60 hardwiring plugged in. If you define a month as 30 days, you can build 25.7 per month in station or 34.2 at a pos array.
Serious questions will be answered.
HAPPY BIDDING FOLKS!
PS: also perfectly suited as a christmas gift for yourself. Will not be delivered gift wrapped. |

Relatively interested in this fine BPO.  /Tokino Thanks for the offers, but I'm good on the supercapital front. Wouldn't know which characters to imprison currently either.
Also received an ingame buyout offer of less than the already disclosed auction reserve. Recipe for success is go.
Auction obviously still on schedule. |

Good news everyone!
I started unlocking early in case I need to petition it, and was pleasantly surprised when it worked on the first try. Reserve has already been exceeded and the BPO is unshackled. The end of the auction may approach :)
Current highest bid is DocSheila with 150 billion isk. |

I'll put up the contract immediately if the auction ends on schedule, or within 24 hours of auction end if sniper rule gets triggered. Not going to stay awake for possibly days on a 12h sniper rule, but I won't slack off either.
Standard contract duration will be 3 days. But I do not have a problem with making it a reasonably longer contract if so requested, unless I get told about an urgent emergency because your panda ate your canary or such nonsense.
[Edit] And I need to get some consistency into either always stating the current highest bid in my posts, or never.
Current highest bid: 160 billion by rookies pod |

Umm. The currently highest bid is 170b.
So, thanks for the bid... but it might be a bit low for winning the auction. |

Auction still going on.
And as I've been asked ingame, yes, the Sleipnir BPO will come with a Cyclone BPO ME50/PE20. I forgot that in the opening post. It will not come with Construction Component BPOs. |

Last 48 hours are now active. Less than 36 hours untill sniper rule goes in effect.
In other news, the Sleipnir BPO is out of production and ready for contracting to the auction winner. Also, I received a nice ingame buyout offer starting with a 2, but - while tempted - decided to stick with the announced auction format; for better or for worse. We'll see.
Highest bid is currently still rookies pod with 170 Billion ISK. |

FINAL AUCTION PHASE - SNIPER RULE ACTIVE
Alright, 12h sniper rule is now in effect. Any new highest bid will extend the auction end until the time of the bid + 12 hours and win if it goes unchallenged for that time. If no new bid is entered, Jess Ica will win the BPO at 20:00 EVE time for 176 billion ISK. |

While Jess Ica does not have corp/alliance information in the preview on the left, the profile itself show current membership in a player corporation that is part of an alliance. So very much not npc corp bids and therefor very much valid.
CHB: Jess Ica, 180b.
[Edit] Also, the only serious interest for this auction I got from any NPC corp member was the former Red Citizens member that then turned out to be a Goon alt that tried to possibly scam me yesterday night. So, that rule is working as intended , no need to change it. |

It's better for the seller ensuring he gets the best price, and better potential buyers in that they don't have to worry about sniping or being online at X time to place their bid. I for one will henceforth be running high value auctions in this way, and hope others follow suit. +1 you're doing it right. Thank you.
Credit goes to Danari though, who inspired me with a couple of T2 BPO auction he ran years ago with 24h sniper rule. |

Okay, currently highest bid is rookies pod with 201b since Jess Ica's post is edited (thus invalid). So, at 2011-12-23 at 09:56 this auction will currently end.
Also, I consider the interested bidders fully assembled (rookies pod, Jess Ica, Xai Li Shun). If Jess Ica's offer of a final all-in round is acceptable to the others, it is fine by me as well, if the current 12h sniper cooldown is extended again. I do not have a problem with keeping the 12 hours going either though, I have to work over the holidays anyways :D
Also, at this point, contact me via mail before you bid if you are not one the three mentioned earlier, or I'll likely consider you a troll and declare your bids invalid. |

Alright, currently highest bid for Jess Ica at 202 billion ISK. New auction end 2011.12.23 11:33.
And while pondering over my previous post, I came up with a fun new rule I should have thought of earlier. Sniper rules only apply for bidders that have previously bid during regular auction time.
This is in effect immediately and spares me the decision if you are trolling or not. Was plenty of time to get a bid in. And since no one new bid since regular auction end, I'm not even screwing someone over. |

And since no one new bid since regular auction end, I'm not even screwing someone over. It appear no good deed goes unpunished. I introduced this - I thought - as a favour to the people currently bidding so that no trolls could simply delay the auction end without really affecting the outcome.
But Jess Ica correctly pointed out to me, that that rule is not completely unambiguous in the last 12 hours of regular auction time when sniper rules already start kicking in, and Xai Li Shun bid for the first time in that time-window. My intent was to limit further bidding to bidders that bid before 2011.12.22 20:00 ("regular auction end" in my mind). I think this is also clearly evidenced by the fact that I thought I did not screw someone over, so did not think I would remove Xai Li Shun from the auction. There was nothing fishy intended, just slightly ambiguous wording in what was planned as a friendly gesture.
I see no really good way out of this besides removing that auction rule again. So, that's what I am doing. The late addition to the auction rules is removed. We'll keep this on the original auction rules until it comes to a natural end. This year or next year.

Since the chances of a last hour bid have decreased drastically at this point, auction was ended an hour early.
Auction is now closed.
Winning bid was 233 billion ISK by Jess Ica. 3 day contract is up.
[Edit] Contract has been claimed. |
