Auction Start: $33

Regarding the soccer subforum, I’ve got a proposal since Cuchito completely ignored my last request to push for Palcic, so hopefully this gets everyone else interested too...

I want to organize a charity Action. Soccer fans have always been the biggest donors and philanthropists anyway, and besides, it might be a fun way to bring some unity here instead of just constant Kavga. I also want to see if MLS players or Europa League players turn out to be better people.

The Prize:

Basically, I'm auctioning off a Biti Kutak t-shirt that I scored in a trade involving some heavy debate with Torcida Makarska

-"The more they break him, the more I love him"

It's an XL (jbte, I'm a pig). I'm also offering my own membership in NH—with proof, obviously—and I'll personally donate an amount of my choosing to the Hajduk Split children's foundation (the exact amount between me and Chukite stays secret)

All proceeds from the bidding will go toward a family in need in a rural area like Banovina (we can find a contact through any forum member who knows a family that lost everything) or toward Palcic at the local hospital, depending on what the winner chooses.

P.S. I'll match the highest bid myself to add even more to the pot. Let's see how far the Nogometas, Offsides, Vickas, Kutasi, Rijeka residents, Osijek residents, Varaždin residents, Premier League players, Serie A players, La Liga players, Leftardi, Ognjistarci, Neutrals, Jajare, Pickare, and everyone else are willing to go... don't make me boost you all.☕
"He who doesn't bid, damn his soul and bones"

If this violates any rules, just give me a permanent ban, jbte. We really need to unite; there's fighting in every single thread.🤷

I understand, VB16 ☕

I find myself placing my bets regardless of whether a win actually materializes.

$9 for a vintage "Republican Party in my Heart" t-shirt from 2007, though it’s seen better days... ☕

$120

It feels like we’re headed toward a bidding war where people will just throw money around recklessly, much like how some folks down South treat cash as if it grows on trees. Perhaps Kalinić could step up as a sponsor to settle the score.😁

Paul Martinez73 was actually banking on them making a massive push to bring him over to the US during the second transfer window...

Let’s keep pushing Zele, maybe aim for 1000

Jbte, this thread has basically gone dormant with just the two of us left active. Inflation is truly killing us all.😁

Looking at the general economic climate and how much people actually have to work with, I don't think we should push the maximum amount too hard; personally, I’d set a cap there as well. It’s more important that the funds go toward a meaningful cause. If I end up receiving a shirt, I’ll just pass it along to someone who needs it, because otherwise, it’ll just sit in my closet collecting dust.☕

Yeah, I'm with you on that. Let Paul Martinez73 have the shirts. Although, if I were picking, I might grab that Republican Party one 😳 you never know how things play out...

Jbte, out of all the "brave" souls over at Biti Kutak, not a single one from Kutak Glas has said a word... ☕
Andrew Hayes2, absolute legend, seriously, no need to waste breath on Feen.

Based on what Feen suggested, the cap is $662. So whoever gets snapped up, the Action runs until Feb 15th or whenever the highest bid hits.

If nobody steps up, then someone else can take the lead for Andrew Hayes2, as I'd rather not stir the pot for the reasons I mentioned earlier. That said, I'll match that same amount since it’s all going toward charity and helping out the kids.👍

I'm not trying to dictate what the official offer looks like, but hey, let's throw in some small change for goodwill if we can afford it.
I’m putting up 250 bucks for those local Palcic fans and another 250 toward our beloved Hajduk Split for the stock buyback, regardless of where this thread goes next.

Honestly, people should just chip in whatever they can for charity (and honestly, a little extra for the Palcic crowd wouldn't hurt either :coffee).

That’s just how things work with Western customs, but unfortunately, we don't really have that kind of culture here.

What’s the deal here? Where am I supposed to send the money? Andrew Hayes2 should just take a jersey. He can even drop his contact info if that fits the plan. Jonathan Barnes5 and I are family people; we don't really mess around with this kind of stuff. ☕

So, who actually ended up with the highest bid? Where did things stall out? Is everyone just stuck at the exact same number?🤷
