Welcome to the Rocket Knife art auction!
By placing a bid you accept the terms described in this post. So please read these terms carefully before placing a bid!
To raise funds for making more videos to share with you guys we've decided to have an auction with the paintings created in our Rocket Art episodes:

All of the paintings might not have turned out masterpieces, but they're still pretty fun (at least the story behind them). The soft reserve prices we've set reflect our (very subjective) rating of the paintings artistic qualities, along with the costs of materials and shipping, etc. Maybe you will find a piece that you fall in love with and think is worthy of being in a museum, maybe not, but remember that every bid/purchase helps keeping us doing what we do! What you do with the painting is up to you, you can hang it in your living room, give it to a friend or someone you don't really like, keep it in the garage, or trashcan. You've still contributed to supporting us!
Ok, enough with the soft talk, here are the terms:
Post your bid as a comment on the art piece you're interested in.
Bids are binding. You must be 18 years or older to bid at any of the paintings. All bids are considered to be in USD.
All paintings come with a small golden Rocket Knife plaque and proof of authenticity.
All prices/bids include worldwide shipping. We will not ask you to pay more than you bid. Depending on your country, import fees might apply, which you are responsible for.
Lowest bid increase is $5. Bids with increase lower than this will be disregarded.
Only payments via PayPal are accepted. This means that you need to have access to a Paypal account with sufficient funds to make the payment. You can not pay with credit cards, bank transfers, checks and so on, only via PayPal transfers.
You have 48 hours to arrange payment after you've recieved a message from us that you've won the auction. Payments shall be in USD.
With each painting, we've set an ending time. This time will be extended with 30 minutes after the last bid is placed, so you don't have to worry about "sniping".
Example: Bob places a bid 10 minutes before the ending time of the auction. Everyone else now have 30 minutes to place a bid before the auction is considered closed. If someone places a bid 23 minutes after Bobs bid the ending time is extended by another 30 minutes from the time of that bid, and so on.
To summarize, you win the auction when:
*the original ending time has passed
*no other bids has been placed 30 minutes after your bid
The "soft reserve price" indicates the lowest price we definitely will sell the painting for. You may place a lower bid than the soft reserve price. After the auction has ended we might consider selling the painting to the higest bid or we might keep the painting for ourselves. Bids that are lower than the soft reserve price are still binding for the person placing the bid.
You can choose to have the paintings signed (or not), where the signature(s) should be placed (front,back,side, middle of the front or wherever) and which of David, Henrik, Johanna and Sylvia should sign your artwork. (The signatures will be applied after payment has been received.)
The paintings are shipped from Sweden. We ship worldwide, using PostNord International Parcel or International Insured Mail (for the smaller painitngs).
Returns are not accepted for any reason and refunds will not be made, so make sure that you don't bid more than you are happy to pay.
The paintings may have holes or rips in the canvas from the creative process. There are not considered defects, but rather as adding to the artistic value :)
You are responsible for paying any import duties or similar in your country. The paintings are made on cotton canvas mounted on a wooden frame, and there might be organic material in the painting. You are responsible for researching the rules regarding import of such materials of your contry before you place your bid, and you are responsible for any fees that might apply upon import.
