k) No auction style listings, or listings that involve bidding for an item. If you want to place an auction, take it to eBay - this isn't an auction site.

Well technically they not breaking their own rules as its a redirect to another site since you have to register to bid.

For a good cause though so maybe ill bid on some low end player.

Assuming there still mint.. There would be nothing worse than spending a bucket load and having scratches etc..

Good to see esp donating all the profits

Rules are correct - that's for the members. We live by different rules

In all honesty, this has been a long time in the making and it's great to see it finally here. A huge thank you to ESP for considering us to run these auctions for them. Really looking forward to see what we can raise for the charities!

I don't know how @Matt26 and @graham (As the main NRL keen mods) have been able to keep this a secret for such a long time

We will see IMG's auction tech used on a regular basis, or is this just a once off?

We really don't know at the moment, but if this is successful and we get another chance from ESP, we will certainly like to use it again.

Cheers

What happens if there is a non paying bidder?

What happens if there is a non paying bidder?

It is at the bottom of the main page

- All auctions will need to be paid for in full within 1 week of the completion of the auction, otherwise we will offer the card to the second highest bidder.

Get another chance from esp? Have they informed you whether or not the 001's will be released in packs in all future releases?

Hi, by another chance I mean it could be utilised for other auctions in the future. I can say that there has not been any other discussion around what those auctions in future may entail.

Cheers

Would you believe ESP if they said yes they would?

I'm pretty certain that the number 1 set from 2013 Limited Edition was available for sale at the show on Sunday?

 

[ghosty]

So this is most def for the highest bidder right? I wont look any future (3 weeks to win lotto)

 

[Colesy]

Wow the "auction overtime" will be interesting:

Please note that all auctions on this site utilise overtime bidding. This means if a successful bid is placed within 5 minutes of the scheduled closing time of an auction, then the auction will go into overtime. Auction overtime results in the closing time for the auction being reset to 5 minutes from the time the bid was recorded. An auction will continue to be extended until there are no further bids for a continuous 5 minute period.
