Quick question: Anybody interested in bidding on Wolf watch winders for charity? If so, then maybe next charity auction will be for winders.
Until I hit pledge goal... EVERYTHING MUST GO!!!

Also, want to signal boost @edge168n's auction, which ends at 12pm PT on July 1.

How can there be any other answer than "C".
Bitches and blow…bitches and blow…
D- Owes, money for cocaine
I would, but I am financially irresponsible at the best of times, so I’d better not get involved.

Stuck in my cabana, livin' on bananas and blow.

"Thumb bumps off a Pelagos" sounds like a cool song.
There can only be one answer C
Until I buy a perpetual calendar, I have no interest in a watch winder. And I'm highly suspicious and cynical about buying stuff for charity. It's so much marketing and virtue signaling for the seller. If you care about the charity, just give them money, cut out the middleman. Why should you let them take the tax deduction, rather than take it yourself?

Funny enough, 99% agreed with you. Here's the 1% where we differ:
To your point, IFF someone truly cares about delivering impact, then that person would research the most efficient and effective way to give money, whereby every marginal dollar given produces the greatest improvement to QALYs or whatever. Nobody does that, except autists.
I am an autist. So, I have done my research, and trust in GiveWell's autistic methodology, as they are a bunch of f*cking weirdo Rationalists, like me.
So, why am I doing these charity auctions on WatchCrunch?
When total utility in the universe increases, in a Pareto Efficient manner... well, I can't think of a better definition of "good" than that.
But, your point is taken. And I agree that in 99% of other situations, charity is ALL virtue signaling and corruption in the worst conceivable way.

I don’t know, kinda sounds like a rationalization for virtue signaling. 😉
I've been really burned by WOLF 1834. I have lost all respect for them as a company. I'd have no interest in bidding.
