    Day 4 Auctions are LIVE -

    Please visit the Aerie Fund Shoppe to see today's offerings!

    Remember: we are verifying bidders so 1) please use your GoFundMe (Real Life) information when creating an account, and 2) do not bid anonymously. Unverified/non-eligible bids will be removed.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: All auctions will be suspended on the 7th day after their listing at 8PM CST - this allows us to do one final audit to verify the auction's winner and integrity before sending out the congratz email. The countdown clock is only provided to demonstrate how many DAYS are left in the auction. The hours and minutes are meaningless, but cannot be removed. Again, all auctions will be suspended at 8PM CST on the end day of that auction.

    Been working closely with Shroud Marketplace to ensure the integrity of these auctions are maintained. Special thanks to them for all the help.

    Good luck and happy bidding!

    Make Thex Suffer Stretch Goal Update:

    Hi Guys,

    I will be posting the MTS stretch goal videos out of order...lol...

    Tomorrow (Friday) I will be posting the 'Shave Thy Head' video (MTS Stretch Goal #5).

    Monday, (2/27) I will be posting the 5 Mile Costume Run (MTS Stretch Goal #3) as the GRAND FINALE - I think you'll enjoy this as the finale, as it will include a montage of our entire IMCRF initiative from start to finish.

    WARNING - DAY 1 AUCTIONS SET TO SUSPEND TODAY - 2/27/2017!

    Reminder: all day 1 auctions will be suspended at 8PM CST tonight! Please be aware that the countdown timer is irrelevant to this auction ending.

    All suspended auctions will then be audited to ensure an IMCRF donor wins the auction.

    The IMCRF donor with the highest bid recorded at 8 PM CST will be notified of winning, and provided a link to make payment.

    If you are the winner, you will receive a confirmation email as soon as the audit is complete. You must make payment within 48 hours of winning, or the auction will be forfeit and given to the next highest qualified bidder. We will make attempts to contact you, if you have not paid within 24 hours.

    There's still time to bid on day 1 items, visit Shroud Marketplace and search 'D1' (day one) to see the full listing of expiring auctions.

    Process for claiming your won items:

    1.
    In-game item packs - please friend me 'Thexedor Markhamm' in game and we will meet up. I ask for your patience as I will do my best to be available over the next week several times per day. If we are unable to connect, I will be in-game on Saturday, March 4th and Sunday, March 5th during the following windows for organized pickups: 9-12pm (CST), 2-5pm (CST), 7-10pm (CST).

    2.
    Stripped accounts
    - if you win a stripped account, please PM me on the forums. After I scrub Doug's personal information I will send you the account name and temporary password. You will then be able to access the account and change the password to make it your own. Further customization of the account will need to be handled by Portalarium and may require you purchasing a support voucher from the add-on store.

    3.
    Lot Deeds - if you win a lot deed, please PM me on the forums. We will schedule a time to meet in multiplayer mode, party up, and switch to Friends Only Mode. We will travel to the lot, I will unclaim it, and hand you the deed. If you choose to reclaim the lot, you may do so immediately.

    Thanks for your patience and participation in this auction. As you already now, it is a massive amount of loot to distribute. I will do my best to do so in a timely manner, but I do have RL obligations that may impede my ability to transfer items immediately. Thanks for your understanding. Rest assured, if you win (and pay) the item is yours and you will get to claim it!

    Day 1 Auctions are closed.

    We have audited them and sent emails to the winners. You may now log in to Shroud Marketplace and pay for your items.

    Alternatively (per the Shroud Marketplace admin):

    If you received a winners email, you can click this link (if you are logged into ShraMa) and it will take you right to the screen where you can add the item the cart and pay for it! In the action column, you will see the ability to add an item to the cart.

    WOW.

    There were some VERY close calls (like seconds) when bids were placed after the closing time of 8PM CST. As promised, any bids placed after 8:00 CST were removed. One individual actually hit 8:00:00 PM on the second!

    Thanks for bidding guys. MORE AUCTIONS END TOMORROW (Tuesday at 8PM CST).

    Words cannot express my gratitude toward everyone who helped make the Iron Maiden Chemo Relief Fund a smashing success. So...instead of words, I'll try with moving pictures. This is OUR story. I hope when times are tough we can look back at this effort and realize...together...real magic is possible.

    Here is a tribute-documentary of the entire community effort, as told by the community. Enjoy!

    I cannot like this enough. About 1000 likes would be more like it. An absolutely stellar effort from all, and huge congratulations to you @Thexedor Markhamm and everyone involved. This community rocks!

    you will receive a confirmation email as soon as the audit is complete. You must make payment within 48 hours of winning, or the auction will be forfeit and given to the next highest qualified bidder. We will make attempts to contact you, if you have not paid within 24 hours.

    Please note: it may take a few hours to receive your confirmation email, when auctions are verified/audited it back logs the email server. Thanks for your patience.

    There's still time to bid on day 6 items, visit Shroud Marketplace and search 'D6 (day six) to see the full listing of expiring auctions.

    Process for claiming your won items:

    1.
    In-game item packs - please friend me 'Thexedor Markhamm' in game and we will meet up. I ask for your patience as I will do my best to be available over the next week several times per day. If we are unable to connect, I will be in-game on Saturday, March 4th and Sunday, March 5th during the following windows for organized pickups: 9-12pm (CST), 2-5pm (CST), 7-10pm (CST).

    2.
    Stripped accounts
    - if you win a stripped account, please PM me on the forums. After I scrub Doug's personal information I will send you the account name and temporary password. You will then be able to access the account and change the password to make it your own. Further customization of the account will need to be handled by Portalarium and may require you purchasing a support voucher from the add-on store.

    3.
    Lot Deeds - if you win a lot deed, please PM me on the forums. We will schedule a time to meet in multiplayer mode, party up, and switch to Friends Only Mode. We will travel to the lot, I will unclaim it, and hand you the deed. If you choose to reclaim the lot, you may do so immediately.

    Thanks for your patience and participation in this auction. As you already now, it is a massive amount of loot to distribute. I will do my best to do so in a timely manner, but I do have RL obligations that may impede my ability to transfer items immediately. Thanks for your understanding. Rest assured, if you win (and pay) the item is yours and you will get to claim it!
