Auction

SE > trademe, and so:

For Sale to the Highest Bidder (with Liberty, Justice and Other Capitalised Words)
A t-shirt. White. Any size. On the front are the initials SE in black - big. On the back, in the trademark SE blue, the url 'somethingemporium.com' along with a slogan of the winning bidder's choice - provided it'll fit. The ink is heat-set, so you won't have any problems with washing it. Justin and/or I will sign/pre-wear it if requested. Delivered to your door if in Auckland, otherwise buyer pays for shipping. The other option is I cut it up into little pieces and post it to you. Not exchangeable for sexual favours unless we say so.

Bidding takes place in the comments, and starts at $6 which covers costs (excluding ink). Minimum bid is $1. The money goes into the SE coffers for our next years hosting. Anything over this amount (I'm thinking of a number (and I'm writing it down)) will go to (an actual, proper) charity, to be nominated by you guys. I don't know how this all is going to go right now, so we might not reach this target, I'm not sure. I'll announce when we do. Bidding closes on the dot of midnight, on the night of Wednesday the 8th of June.

To protect the uniqueness of this opportunity, I'm promising to make at most 1 SE shirt a month - and even I don't have one yet! So get in there.

Reply to the news item, not other comments. Our hosting costs roughly US$18.75, but I'm thinking $25 cut-off.

Post any comments in reply to the parent of this one, so as not to distract from the bidding.
Dominic
I'd like to see this famed tshirt first, before any offers
aymar
But he can't make it until there's a winner - it's made to winner's specs.
Alyx
all of it? the style etc?
not a bad deal then
aymar
Dominic ~ awesome idea. I might do up some tshirt designs. I can't wait to see this one all made up. I can't wait to roll around in the piles of cash we'll make.
Justin
Can I role too?
chrls
Yeah, like I said, there'll be no rolling - it's only going to cover hosting expenses. The rest, for this auction at least, goes to charity.
Dominic
Please tell me there can be at least a little rolling before the money is sent to a charity?
Justin
Yeah, alright.
Dominic
What am I doing, I'm not even going to be in the country on Wednesday night.
funkymunky
Yeah, but you can use your site allowance money to buy the shirt.
Justin
And I feel that I'm at a disadvantage here - I'm in Sydney so I get 2 hours less time to bid. ;-)

So, what size and slogan?
Dominic
Well, i'd have to go for a size large and the comment "Black holes are where God divided by zero".
Cheers
I'll get you the cash as soon as i can.
