BFG prep

OK guys, tomorrow (Wednesday) morning at 9AM PST the first item in the Big Fun Game will go up for bids.  I figured we'd get some details out of the way so we are all prepared.

First, the 9 participants are:
Bulldog
Chris
Fuji
Jon
night owl
Ryan G
Sport Card Collectors
The Angels In Order
The Lost Collector

If you need a refresher on the basic rules, look at this post. But I have a few more details to share.

While you will each start with 100 DK$, there will be numerous opportunities to get a few more.  There will be:

1. Trivia questions and guesses about cards in my collection. There will probably be one of these per post or so.  The correct answer will get you between 1 and 3 DK$.
2. Charity and outside help.  This will require you, or someone you know, to do do something easy.  I have 2 of these planned at this time.  Multiple contestants will be able to get DK$ for these activities.
3. Hidden rewards.  I have identified ~10 things that may happen during the entire multi-day experience.  Each of them have various amounts of DK$ that come with them.  You won't know what they are until someone does something that causes the reward to be given.

You can participate in the extra-curricular DK$-raising activities as much or as little as you like.


One unfortunate aspect of this game is that most of my cards are not current.  I don't really have anything from the last few years. Looking over the items up for bid, it hit me that the majority are from the 80's, 90's and 00's.  I hope that doesn't diminish the fun, but hey, free stuff, right?


I guess that's it.  Any questions?  If so, comment and I will answer.  If not, see you all in the morning!

  1. So basically you will be posting a card tomorrow. We each have $100 to bid on said card. If we spend the $100, we’ll we would be done. But we will be bidding against each other with the $100 til someone doesn’t want to bid anymore. Did I get this right? It’s a really fun idea!

    1. Yep, that's the basic idea. Except you have a chance to get a little more than 100, over the life of the contest, so you might not be done even if you have spent all of your money.

    1. Good! I know it's a lot, but it should end up being mostly straight forward. Always feel free to ask questions.
