Elizabeth Meade auction bid was unsuccessful

Hello. On March 15, 2022, 20,000 rare black history artifacts will be up for online auction. This Collective has been formed to bid on the collection, with the hope of buying it.WHO is this for? Anyone who wants to join us in jointly owning the largest collection of black history available. Each person will receive a random NFT from the collection 6 months after the close when the collection has been processed. Each contributor will be able to vote and participate on all decisions on Zoom via Votaz.comWHY? Together we can do more:
We have a 5 point plan to preserve and monetize the collection.1. Insure the collection and move to proper long term storage facility.
2. Photograph every item and provide a Getty like-subscription based photo marketplace.
3. Create a VR Walk-thru Experience in association with a major VR exhibitor.
4. Create several traveling exhibits to place at Black History Museums throughout the US and the world.
5. Eventually turn the collection over to the Smithsonian.
----------
Upon winning the auction our newly formed 501c3 non-profit will receive the funds from Open Collective, make a final payment to Guernseys. The newly formed entity will determine what should be done with the collection by joint decision. We have spoken to several vendors to implement the above plan.HOW
1. We will open for investment on March 14, 2020. We expect to sell out of the 20,000 NFT's quickly.
Anyone joining must make the corresponding donation of $600 to Open Collective.
2. If we fail to win the bid for the auction, all moneys will be returned via Open Collective.
