Thrud Auction
2024 Online Auction (now closed)
As we received so many fantastic items for the 2023 Auction, we have decided to hold an Online auction to raise additional funds for our charities Mind and the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation.
Online Bids - How does this work?
All bids were submitted through our online form (now closed). These bids will be taken as a maximum that you are willing to pay.
All online bids must be submitted by 23:59 GMT on Sunday 18th February 2024. After that, no bids will be accepted, even if they are higher than a previous bid.
To be completely fair and transparent, these are the rules which will govern this auction:
Where multiple bids would win the item but have the same value, the first bid submitted via the form will be given preference and will win the item. Submissions via the form are time-stamped, giving us certainty on when they were submitted
No bids will be accepted which have not come through the form on this page - e.g. do not email us with bids.
Where there is only one bid for an item, that bidder will win the item at 75% of their maximum bid.
Auction winners will pay for reasonable postage and packaging from Oxfordshire UK. If they wish to receive their items in person at Thrudball 2024 or other tournaments, it may be possible to arrange this. Please contact admin@thrudball.com if you have any questions in advance of submitting a bid.
Bids may be withdrawn after they are made. If you wish to withdraw a bid you have made, contact admin@thrudball.com before the deadline. No bid may be withdrawn after the deadline.
Where there are multiple bids of different values for an item, the value of the final winning bid will be calculated as being £1 more than the second-highest bid. For example, where there are three bids for an item of £2, £4, and £10, the winner will pay £5 for the item as it is £1 more than the second-highest bid.
Multiple Item Auctions
We are fortunate to have multiples of some lots. Where this is the case, the item listing will show how many of the lot there are. In this event, the top X bids will all win the item. If you wish to bid on several copies of these items, rather than just one, contact admin@thrudball.com before the deadline.
Paying for Items
Any items not paid for within four weeks of the winner being contacted will be put back into the auction or raffle lists for Thrudball 2024. There will be no grace periods on this.
Non-payment for items won in this auction will result in you not being permitted to take part in any Thrudball auctions in the future.
