Yes.
Did @JeffJ win both Canada soaps? I presume he did, but want to make sure we are all in agreement before I come up with my total.

Looks like he won with bids of $35 and $30
Thanks. I agree. Just wanted to double check my work since the second place bid was the same dollar amount as my $30 third place bid and it was the timing that actually determined the ranking.
My take is there were two $30 bids before my bid so I had nothing until I raised one to $35
I will take one for $30 if you don't want both, but you are entitled to both.
They were at $25 and $30, and then you bid $30, taking over the $25 one, so you had one of the two $30 bids before you bid $35, which got you the other one.
Haha. Happy the proceeds are going to a great cause. The auctions were great fun for me.
Whew!
The auction's still running, but I'm already feeling inundated just thinking of the task ahead. I know everyone will be patient as donations are made, tallied, cross referenced, coordinated, discombobulated, recoordinated over a pot of coffee (in a B&B mug) and several glassed of whisky (in B&B Glencairn glassed) and goodies wrapped, boxed, and sent off to greener pastures.
For anyone that won one of the auctions, there's a lot of back and forth communicating to do before wrapping, packing, and sending off goodies. And I need to go find a box.
Looking forward to the next B&B charity auction.

Take your time. Like...sweet coffee brewing and drinking time. I guarantee you everyone that won something from you has no shortage of shaving supplies
My intent was to win one puck and my belief was that I had zero before my final bid. If you’re okay with one at 30 please take it. Otherwise, I’ll abide by the Mod ruling. It’s charity and not a big deal.
Much simpler to split into two lots next time.

Sounds good. I will take one.
Somebody thought they were going to get away with "stealing" 4 vintage Zippos. Steve (@SiBurning ), who won them from me in the '18 Auction, said "Not on my watch".
Fundraiser auction items are like the proverbial fruitcake. There's really only one, but it keeps making the rounds year after year. At least half the stuff I put up this year came from previous fundraisers.
No, sorry for my making this confusing.
@JeffJ won one and @helicopter won one.
My question is what is the price for @JeffJ? He had a winning bid of $30 and bid $35, essentially against himself.
I should have asked for guidance on how to list two identical items. My apologies to all.
I agree, two lots would have been simpler. I thought that might get more confusing for those who wanted one... which listing to bid on, the potential of winning two if they only wanted one, and so forth.
I do apologize, but, you definitely won one. I just don't know at what price. $30 seems correct, since I mucked up the works with the listing.
A suggestion for next year would be to have a higher promotion of the auction in advance. I got busy - that is entirely on me - and did not realize it was going on until it was under way. Maybe a sticky posting in each sub-forum? Here is why: If one member did not know about it - @SiBurning - it would not have gone well this year. It is a great cause just as the ones in the past have been. The community here is helpful and willing. With greater awareness I am confident a lot more items would be up for bid across the membership. Everyone here has a box of shaving gear that hasn't seen the light of day so put it to good use like this cause!
While I agree with this, I note the traditional October fund raiser didn't happen at all. If this fundraiser was a bit of a disappointment compared to previous years, the important thing is that Badger & Blade continues its spirit of sharing, giving, fun, and charity. People have worked very hard, many of them behind the scenes wihtout recognition, devoting untold amounts of time and energy to keep this spirit alive BECAUSE these values are worth nurturing. The are ups and downs are to be expected. But let's be thankful to those who work so hard behind the scenes, and on the board running various projects, and acknowledge their efforts. The values and efforts of these members are what make Badger & Blade special.
All good. Winning bid is $35.
