As the bus rolls on, so does the silent auctions! And two new, fantastic ones just started up! These auctions are running until 10am PST.

First up, a pair of leather hair clips, kindly donated by DigitalSeahorse!

A leather hair clip with a flower center showing Spoopifer, with a leather leaf on either side with Omega, Nightwatch, and Zeta shift emblems

Measuring just under 5 inches by 2 plus some pretty rainbow dangling fringe bits they'll look majestic as they get blown in the wind. Ingredients: Love, leather, metal clip fixings, acrylic paint, Eco-Flo Leather Dye, Future Polish, Suede. May contain magic.

Current high bid is $333.69

The second of our two current silent auctions is a set of Super Mario Bros NES Enemy Coasters, donated by Kyle Gratien!

A set of 8 coasters, each resembling a different Super Mario Bros villain

These handmade pieces utilized 3D printed templates to create consistent pixel size, based on the actual sprites from the game. Each one was hand glazed to match the original color, and affixed with a cork backing to protect your surfaces from scratching. This set includes Bullet Bill, Buzzy Beetle, Podoboos, Spiny, Latiku, Cheep Cheep, Goomba, and Koopa Troopa as a shell, because it makes for a much better coaster shape. Most are around 4"x 4", with the Latiku closer to 6" x 4". Whatever your drink of choice is, this set will help you stay hydrated during your next gaming session.

Current high bid is $840.69
