What the money buys.
The machine this campaign buys. It goes everywhere I go — coffee shops, coworking spaces, conferences, flights — with your logo on the lid.
16" MacBook Pro (M5 Pro, Space Black) is $4,099 on apple.com; sales tax and payment fees add roughly 9%, so the goal is $4,468. Anything past it covers AppleCare+ and the trips this Mac goes on.
Anything raised past the goal funds the trips the Mac goes on — which is exactly what fuels the sponsor content.

How it works
- 1
Bid with a deposit
Place your bid — 20% (minimum $10) is charged to your card today. That's your skin in the game; the rest is only due if you win.
- 2
Hand-approval
Every sponsor is reviewed by hand before their logo appears on the lid or this page. Brand safety cuts both ways.
- 3
Outbid? Instant refund
The moment someone outbids you, your full deposit is automatically refunded. You can swing back with a higher bid any time before the clock runs out.
- 4
Win the spot
Your deposit counts toward your bid. You get a payment link for the balance, your sticker goes on the lid, and your perks begin.
Questions & Answers · FAQ
Is this real?
Yes. Real auction, real money, real MacBook — which I don't own yet; the auction is what buys it. Every bid, refund, and sponsor post is logged publicly on this page, and payments run through Stripe.
What does my deposit cover?
The deposit is 20% of your bid (minimum $10), charged when you bid. It's not an extra fee — if you win, it counts toward your winning bid and you only pay the balance. It exists so every bid on the board is a serious one.
What if I'm outbid?
Your full deposit is refunded automatically the moment a higher bid is approved — no forms, no waiting on support. And you can swing back: outbid them right back any time before the auction ends.
Why hand-approval?
Brand safety — for you and for me. No adult content, crypto scams, or political advertising. The owner keeps final say over what goes on the lid; if a bid is rejected, the deposit is refunded in full.
What exactly do I get?
A die-cut vinyl sticker of your logo on the spot you won, your logo and link on this page, plus the perks bundled with your spot size (monthly tagged posts, gift cards on the large tier). Explicitly not promised: impressions, clicks, or ROI. This is sponsorship, not performance marketing.
Can one brand take the whole lid?
Yes — the takeover. One full-bleed die-cut wrap covering everything, including the logo area. The catch: a takeover bid only wins if it beats all ten individual spots combined, and the floor is $4,468 — the entire campaign goal in a single bid.
What happens to my spot bid if someone takes the whole lid?
Your deposit is refunded automatically, in full, the moment the takeover wins — no forms, no waiting. You can also fight back: any new individual bid pushes up the combined bar the takeover has to beat, right up until the auction closes.
What happens after the auction?
Winners get a payment link for the balance (deposit already counted in). Once paid, the MacBook is bought, stickers are printed and applied, and every perk becomes a tracked obligation — fulfilled and logged publicly in the proof-of-promotion feed below.
What if the goal is exceeded?
The overage funds the trips the Mac goes on — coffee shops, coworking spaces, conferences. Which is exactly what fuels the sponsor content: more travel means more geo-tagged posts featuring your brand.
