Steembay Auction for original Vagabonds-painting, 13x18cm

in #steembay6 years ago

By (popular*) request, I'm happy to put this original painting of the Vagabonds-series up for a #steembay auction.

You can bid SBD on this original painting, size 13x18cm (roundabout 5x7"). It's oils on paper (which has been prepared to be able to handle oil-paint, so it shouldn't deteriorate - at least not in the first 100 years or so...) which was then glued to a small wooden panel.

Full title: Caern, the Formidable but Lazy Octogenarian with his Dagger of Truth!
(© and ™ and ® by @edward.maesen, hopefully at no extra fee to the buyer!)

I'm starting the auction at 2.5 SBD, that should at least cover international shipping costs (unless you live in St.-Helena, Pitcairn or the Galapagos-islands!).

When the auction is over, and the winner has transferred the winning bid, I will ship the original. For the winner: to send your address, you can contact me on discord, or mail me, but that's something for next week, as a steembay-auction ends exactly when this post pays out. So if you want to bid and win, you have 7 days from the moment I hit that Post-button!

If you're not familiar with steembay, you can find a tutorial on how a steembay-auction works here.

Or, on how to bid, read this, from that very @steembay tutorial:

Steps for bidding

  • Reply (directly) to the post with "bid x" (replace the x with the amount you are willing to bid. Decimals have to be written with a fullstop instead of a comma AND a possible zero at the start has to be written out. The version ".5" will not work ( use 0.5 ) and the version "5,9" won't work either ( use 5.9 )
  • Wait for the bot to log in the bid (it will tell you in seconds if it worked... sometimes it takes up to a minute due to transaction failures of the system)
  • You will get a reply when you were overbid.
  • SOON you will see in the bots starting comment what is the actual highest bid and who is the actual highbidder
  • If you need to retract your bid just enter "revoke bid"

A steembay-auction goes in good faith, so please don't bid if you can't put up the SBD. You can trust me to ship the original - I cannot jeopardize my reputation over a small painting :)

Thanks, good luck bidding!


*[poh - pu - lær]At least one Steemian asked twice about having this painting put on a Steembay-auction. Popular enough for me, @pv-p!

oh no... you've outbid me! how could this happen?!

at least there's still blow for everyone and the hookers will be here for another few hours...

Hehe reality has its mysterious ways of working, I'm not too sure myself!

With 6 more hours of madness, anything can happen in that time - i might even be able to outbid my own bid!

I for one am looking forward to our first annual shareholder meeting :D

So am I! And in true vagabond style, it won't be held in any one location or time

heh... yeah, probably not... but the dancefloor on Planet Googly would make a great venue for that. ;) You should drop by some day.

Thanks for the invite! :) Planet Googly sounds like the ideal place! I'll be sure to have poke round this weekend

Fuck Yo Couch N****!

I'm Rick James bitch, enjoy yourselve!

Unless I'm very much mistaken after this rollercoaster of an auction, you've won, @pv-p!

Transer 5 SBD and mail me your shipping address to [email protected] (might wanna copy that link) and I'll send it to you asap! Like I said in a comment to @fraenk: it was the most fun and plot-twist-stacked auction I've ever seen, thanks! :D

Whoop whoop! What a week of excitement indeed! I'd never done an auction before, didn't know they could be so much fun :D Can't wait for our shareholders meeting now!

I've sent the SBD over, email will follow shortly. Can't wait to hang this one up! :)

Hey, still haven't received your mail... :)

Hey chief, sent you an email a couple days ago. Been tied up with work lately, apologies for not making the battle of the vagabonds.. :s Hopefully i'll have some time to make the last two rounds, can't let this one slip! :)

Hey, got your mail and replied. Package is ready to ship, I think it will even arrive this week!

Yep, one more Semi-Final (just posted) and then the final on Wednesday!

Apologies so you did! Of all places, your email somehow ended up in the spam box...maybe Jareen's exacting revenge with some internet voodoo...
Ooh I think I've got a direction to take now for the 'stand on the post the longest' contest :)

Awesome! I'll let you know when the package arrives :D

I stuffed Caern in a padded envepope and sent him your way yesterday, I hope he arrives soon!

I'm closing entries for Semi-Final 2 - feel free to still write an entry, but I'm choosing the winner now! :-/

Thanks for the SBD and the bonus, very generous!
I'll ship asap when I have your address, thanks again :D

Bid accepted! Highest bid is now @pv-p's bid of 5.000 SBD

The #steembay Auction has finished.
The winning bidder is @pv-p with an amount of 5.000 SBD - Congratulations!

Yes yes marty-art team!! It doesn't matter I always with you. I'll set a low first bid and add more when some payouts start coming in, throw a bit of competition around :)

aiight then... you asked for it :D

I'll put it up 0.5 SBD to give you some room for stepping back in ;)

ahaha I was planning some competition against myself, but you just made this auction get dirty and interesting!
When do we bring the hookers and blow in? (i'm guessing that's what people do at auctions...i mean, who wouldn't do charlie all day if they had the money to go to a real art auction?? or all week as our case may be 8D
ok, sorry Marty, maybe I won't have any funds left by the end of the week...

Hahaha, this is going to be an awesome week :D

bid 3.0

Awesome, thanks! :)

honest question here... you opened this auction for @pv-p and um yeah... 3SBD sounds like a bargain and Caern would really look damn great next to my goatee grooming flat-mate, hehe... but I also don't want to outbid anyone here if there's love involved... especially because my focus is all on Zygmunt first and foremost anyways...

P.S.: especially since there's a specific reason why @pv-p can't bid much more than 3 SBD right now:

Biggups to you @pv-p!

That was actually a bribe, the whole auction is rigged...

Thanks for the dedicated auction mr marty-art team!

But yes, there is some love involved here. The refined art critic in me has really come to appreciate the blobyness of the character, and those white spots and textured dark bit. :)

Yeah, @pv-p asked to put Caern on steembay, I didn't check his wallet though. If SBD more or less stays where it is now, I'm getting just my shipping cost at 2.5 SBD. Let's see how much Caern is valued :)

Hehe you wouldn't have put it up if you'd have checked my wallet! ;p
Don't worry I will give you an honest price for your work, i'm planning on trading some CND for Steem to power up a bit so will add some SBD to that for a healthy week of dirty auctioning :)

Bid accepted! Highest bid is now @pv-p's bid of 3.000 SBD

@pv-p's bid of 3.000 SBD has been overbid by @fraenk's bid of 3.500 SBD

bid 4.0

how do we resolve this...

part of me really just want to keep bidding... because there's hookers and blow... you know... so I am kinda just getting lost in the moment here and doing it for the thrills...

but as much as i'd like more marty-art on my living room wall, it also makes me feel a bit greedy and I think you should have some, too! Also I am actually trying to acquire a different piece from our favourite artist, too... so yeah...

what do we do... I'll up the ante to 4.5, just for the thrills. Seeing your wallet balance that's currently outbidding you, but you have a few days to come up with a few more cents... if all else fails, let me know, I'll send you what you need as credit on your good name ;)

Hehe it's easy to get carried away with these kinds of things :) As for the art, I'm going to be sending some sbd to my wallet so we can have a frantic last 24hrs of bidding.

Thanks Fraenk! I really appreciate the gesture!! You and Marty are examples of what makes Steemit an awesome platform, from the googly to the vagabondy and more!! :)

hehe... yeah man, let's be excellent together! hookers and blow for everyone!

Woo-hoo! I'm so excited my art-auction's bringing in hookers and blow for everyone :D
Hahahaha, rock 'n roll!

hee... yeah man... though @pv-p has been missing out... 10hrs to go... I'll have to send him some to let him back in the game.

Whey you generous soul! I've been taken up by work and came back to a pleasant surprise :)

You'll also own shares in the painting too Marty as you've transferred 0.539 SBD to my account in the past week. Together you'll own a massive 22.78% of the painting! More to come in the first quarterly report.

Hahahaha, it better be profitable! :P

Nah, I hereby renounce my shares, you've played The Vagabonds truly awesomely, you deserve that sbd!

So you'd be owner of some shares in the painting? Interesting... :)

haha... yeah, I guess I would be?! Interesting.

Bid accepted! Highest bid is now @pv-p's bid of 4.000 SBD

@pv-p's bid of 4.000 SBD has been overbid by @fraenk's bid of 4.500 SBD

cha-ching!

Good luck with the auction @marty-art! Wish I could join the bidding.

No worries, and thanks!

Keep an eye on it and on the Vagabonds, as I know you will!

bid 3.5

Bid accepted! Highest bid is now @fraenk's bid of 3.500 SBD

@fraenk's bid of 3.500 SBD has been overbid by @pv-p's bid of 3.510 SBD

The bid was rejected because the amount is to low. The bid has to be higher than @pv-p's bid of 4.000 SBD.

yo @steembay bot... want some of my coffee? I also get confused when I am too sleepy!

Haha confusing bots is something i like to do when given the chance ;)

It's a beautiful masterpiece. I really like the original Vagabonds painting, 13x18cm mr
@marty-art but I must be sad because I can not join the auction. I do not have SBD because I'm new to Steemit, it's really hard for me to collect SBD.

Thank you, and no worries, when I started out on steemit, I wanted to buy original art myself, but didn't have much SBD or steem. So I know your situation. It will improve, though, as it has improved for me.

I have to thank you mr @marty-art who was willing to share his vote for me, it that means for me. I will start planting and saving little by little in steemit, when my SBD collects I also want to buy something in the art, my dream is easy and your dream can be achieved.

My wallet contains exactly 0.111 SBD (which I recently received from a certain @marty-art from the goodness of his heart, bless his soul) so I'm not in a position to bid currently, but wish you well with the auction!

Thanks man!

bid 4.5

I'm doing it for a thrill. Oh I'm hoping you'll understand

I, for one, am thrilled! :)

3:40 till 3:52: Whoooo-oooo-hooooooo-oooooh-hhoooo ooh-whooooooooooo- oooohhh whoooo ôoooo- oo- oooohoooo- oooooh!

hahaha, and did you notice... she's driving through Niflheim... so damn misty

Hehe, all roads lead to Niflheim... :)
