The third release in the Schrödinger’s ghost franchise happened on May 6, 2025. It’s a hand-painted, single-color, partner-less canvas of a hue that exists somewhere on the color wheel between pure orange and pure red. If you missed it the first time, you can read the full story of “Orange Vibe” — HERE.
Now let’s get to the auction recap:
The three-day Blind Dutch Auction for the ghostwrite “Schrödinger’s ghost: Orange Vibe” 400% ghost ran from May 6th through the 8th. You, the market, our adoring fans and community members, set the Clearing Price. Here’s what happened:
- Total ghosts sold: 50
- Total bids: 78
- Total bidders: 62
- People who bid for one ghost: 46
- People who bid for two ghosts: 16
- Highest Bid: $1,252
- Clearing Price: $150
Among the 16 people who bid for two ghosts, eight of them were able to secure two for their collections. Two of the winners bid exactly $150.
95% of winners paid less for the ghost(s) than the amount they bid. For a quick economics lesson of why that matters, let’s look at the top bidder. They placed a bid of $1,252 but only had to pay $150 to purchase their “Orange Vibe” ghost. Assuming their bid of $1,252 represents their true value of the ghost, that buyer is left with $1,102 of excess value associated with their purchase. Remember, price is what you pay. Value is what you get.
Hurray for the elegant beauty of market-based pricing.
