By (popular*) request, I'm happy to put this original painting of the Vagabonds-series up for a #steembay auction.
You can bid SBD on this original painting, size 13x18cm (roundabout 5x7"). It's oils on paper (which has been prepared to be able to handle oil-paint, so it shouldn't deteriorate - at least not in the first 100 years or so...) which was then glued to a small wooden panel.
(© and ™ and ® by @edward.maesen, hopefully at no extra fee to the buyer!)
I'm starting the auction at 2.5 SBD, that should at least cover international shipping costs (unless you live in St.-Helena, Pitcairn or the Galapagos-islands!).
When the auction is over, and the winner has transferred the winning bid, I will ship the original. For the winner: to send your address, you can contact me on discord, or mail me, but that's something for next week, as a steembay-auction ends exactly when this post pays out. So if you want to bid and win, you have 7 days from the moment I hit that Post-button!
If you're not familiar with steembay, you can find a tutorial on how a steembay-auction works here.
Or, on how to bid, read this, from that very @steembay tutorial:
Steps for bidding
- Reply (directly) to the post with "bid x" (replace the x with the amount you are willing to bid. Decimals have to be written with a fullstop instead of a comma AND a possible zero at the start has to be written out. The version ".5" will not work ( use 0.5 ) and the version "5,9" won't work either ( use 5.9 )
- Wait for the bot to log in the bid (it will tell you in seconds if it worked... sometimes it takes up to a minute due to transaction failures of the system)
- You will get a reply when you were overbid.
- SOON you will see in the bots starting comment what is the actual highest bid and who is the actual highbidder
- If you need to retract your bid just enter "revoke bid"
A steembay-auction goes in good faith, so please don't bid if you can't put up the SBD. You can trust me to ship the original - I cannot jeopardize my reputation over a small painting :)
Thanks, good luck bidding!
*[poh - pu - lær]At least one Steemian asked twice about having this painting put on a Steembay-auction. Popular enough for me, @pv-p!

honest question here... you opened this auction for @pv-p and um yeah... 3SBD sounds like a bargain and Caern would really look damn great next to my goatee grooming flat-mate, hehe... but I also don't want to outbid anyone here if there's love involved... especially because my focus is all on Zygmunt first and foremost anyways...
P.S.: especially since there's a specific reason why @pv-p can't bid much more than 3 SBD right now:
Biggups to you @pv-p!

Yeah, @pv-p asked to put Caern on steembay, I didn't check his wallet though. If SBD more or less stays where it is now, I'm getting just my shipping cost at 2.5 SBD. Let's see how much Caern is valued :)

how do we resolve this...
part of me really just want to keep bidding... because there's hookers and blow... you know... so I am kinda just getting lost in the moment here and doing it for the thrills...
but as much as i'd like more marty-art on my living room wall, it also makes me feel a bit greedy and I think you should have some, too! Also I am actually trying to acquire a different piece from our favourite artist, too... so yeah...
what do we do... I'll up the ante to 4.5, just for the thrills. Seeing your wallet balance that's currently outbidding you, but you have a few days to come up with a few more cents... if all else fails, let me know, I'll send you what you need as credit on your good name ;)

What milestone would that be? I did think of one about an hour ago, but I'm pretty sure I didn't write it down here on steemit :-/
And you don't need to be a painter to join an auction for one. I, myself, bought shampoo and toothpaste just the other day, and I sure as hell don't know how to make shampoo, or toothpaste. But it doesn't matter I always with you.
