To celebrate reaching 50,000 subscribers on YouTube we should have some beers and buy some stuff you don’t need. And then you are welcome to Ask Me Anything about anything. The date for the live stream is Sunday, 16th June from 8pm BST. Annoyingly it turns out that the first round of the Euro 24 footy clashes all over my live stream. So I’ve decided to start the auction at half time to give footy fans a fair chance – but, come on, it’s the group stage, who cares about that? It’s also Father’s Day in the UK on Sunday, but I’m sure your husbands won’t mind. There’s never a right time and I’m of the opinion that you just have to go with it 😀
Live Auction – from 8:45 pm
I’m going to be selling some gear during the livestream: a few modules, a synth or two, that sort of thing. It’s not in aid of something grand; it’s to raise a bit of cash to fund a couple of things. Firstly, in terms of mental health and life improvement, I need a new hammock to spend time in. I bought my first Mexican hammock when I was about 19. It hung on my wall, I slept in it at Glastonbury, and it’s been a feature of our garden since the kids were small. Sadly, it perished a few years ago, and I really miss it. So I think it’s time the company (Molten) treated its one employee a bit better and provide them with a method of peaceful relaxation or snoozes and eternal jams.
The other thing is I want to build a bunch of small modular systems that people can borrow. To do that, I’ve got to source some cases and power supplies and sort out the packaging. It will then be a service available to patrons via Patreon. Any leftover cash will be spent on booze and wild times or the odd must-have module.
So what’s on offer? Well, a rag-tag bunch of bits – see list below.
How is it going to work? I’ve no idea, but I imagine what we’ll do is hold up a thing and invite bids. The largest bid gets the thing. Payment would then be through Paypal.
Is it all going to be dirt cheap? No. I’m not planning to give away a Mother-32 for a tenner. We’re talking about reasonable second-hand prices so I’d expect a Mother-32 to go for £300-£450, or a Eurorack module for around £100, Korg Volca £50-£80.
What about shipping? The only way to do it fairly is to add shipping on afterwards. So a small box in the UK would be about £5, the same box to Europe around £15 and to the USA around £25. Larger objects will have to be calculated at the time. So, don’t bid if you are not prepared to pay for regular shipping rates from a regular courier.
Thanks for a fabulous auction! That was a load of fun. Didn’t get to everything so perhaps we’ll have another one. I will consider any offers for anything that’s still on the list – so feel free to give me a shout.
