Yes I said we were sending these out tomorrow but SURPRISE LET'S GOOOO

...getting Second Chance Offers from @romancingthevote.bsky.social for items I don't even *remember* bidding on (past an initial bid)? The fog of the battle was PRETTY FOGGY!

The ActBlue page total has officially crossed $950,000!!! And y'all aren't even done paying yet. I can't wait to see how high we can make it go on Monday when we start making our 2nd Chance offers!!! $1,000,000 is within our grasp. 💗

Good evening, RTV family! I'm here with your evening updates from the DoomJoy Spreadsheet. (The Doom spreadsheet got an upgrade now that it's so much more powerful!) We just sent out confirmation to those whose payment we've verified & reminders to those who have not paid!

A few people have asked, so I put some of our top ticket items on the featured page, just for easy gawking. However I couldn't put everything as it limits me to 10 and we had 22 auctions/BINs go over $1000! Y'all went clicking/bidding wild in the best ways! www.32auctions.com/RomancingThe...

I am starting to have a REALLY good feeling about that final number... 💗

You can round up your donation when paying for your auction items, if you want to inch that total even closer to $1m. Just saying. 👀

We're still collecting info from those who wanted to make Second Chance offers to their runners-up, but just with the people who have already responded by 11am saturday? We have $33,000 worth of offers that will go out to lucky runner-up bidders on Monday! 💗 And the total is growing!

Definitely check your junk/spam folder! That's where I found mine.

Good morning! If you bid on the auction, we've got some news for you! First: did you get the email with payment information? Check your inbox. Check your spam. Check the email you used with 32auctions (it's the only way we have to contact you!) and check the spam there.

Before we disappear for the night, a few links! US Citizens can donate at: auction.romancingthevote.com International folks at: international.romancingthevote.com You can view the aftermath of the carnage and marvel at the victories & betrayals here: www.32auctions.com/romancingthe...

It is not even 9pm here in Alabama and I am absolutely going to bed. 😂 See y'all in 12 hours.

YAH! Now go to bed!!!

A fun number for you before I cartwheel away to bed: 1,129 of you won a total of 3,273 items between you!

We have sent out our first round of emails! Please check your spam folders/weird gmail filters/under the bed for it! It may take a bit for our server to deliver all of them, but if you don't have one by tomorrow morning reach out to us! (Please don't panic before that!)

This is the way dot gif

All of us, rounding up to the nearest 69....

Also I am truly, truly sorry that the 32auctions crash happened. We did what we could to prevent it but some things are beyond our control. I ask that you be patient with us about that. We are absolutely doing our best. (And these are not our servers!)

Bree says: we also have some very high value items where another will be offered to the runner-ups if they match the highest bid. Last year we pulled in $20k on that alone. This year we're MUCH more organized about it. 💗

All I know as Official Keeper of the Act Blue page is that I’m not exactly sure how close I will come to the seven figure mark.

The thing about one of these auctions is that we neeever quite know how much we are actually going to raise. I don’t mean because people won’t pay: some people don’t, but it’s a much smaller percentage than you think. I mean because people round up. Some of them, a lot.

I have it on good authority that 32auctions crashing is the only reason a $6k bid didn't get entered. ...so the reasonable conclusion is that whoever put in that $5801 one might have paid off Curt from 32auctions. 👀 (kidding! lol)

$5801 is what this stunner by @tanyaduncan.bsky.social went for--and I had gauged it at $6K! I WAS REALLY CLOSE!!! For @romancingthevote.bsky.social and DEMOCRACY!

Alright, crafters of #RomancingTheVote, drop links to your shops in the replies! Let’s support our amazing donors & keep that auction joy alive (especially if we missed items *shakes hand at sky*) @romancingthevote.bsky.social

Okay, it appears that the site is kind of getting back on its feet, but we're going to try to get the sales data out of it now! Once we do, we will be emailing y'all ASAP so you can start donating!

sounds like an O'Kane party, tbh

Why does this sound so dirty?

Yes! Don't panic, and just don't keep going to the website. We will get it sorted out, we promise!

Sooooo if we got a screen that said we won an item, did we win it?

Our GOOD, you mean.

We appear to have broken @32auctions again. Our bad.

I think we crashed the servers again. LOL

Um did @romancingthevote.bsky.social just crash? Cause it said I won something so I went to click on it, and now I am just getting failed pages.

We appear to have broken @32auctions again. Our bad.

We just passed the auction total for 2022, and now the EXTENDED BIDDING starts!!!!!!! www.youtube.com/watc...
