Ten sticker spots on the lid of a MacBook Pro 14″ that I will own and use. Winning a spot buys you a printed die-cut vinyl sticker of your logo on that lid, plus a listing on this page with a link to your site.

This is a personal project run by Vincent, operating as Vynse. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Apple Inc.

• Placing a bid charges a deposit of 20% of your bid, minimum 10 €, by card. Deposits you have already paid on a spot count toward a later bid on that same spot, so reclaiming it after being outbid costs only the difference.
• Your bid is not visible and counts for nothing until the deposit is paid and the logo approved.
• Each spot has a starting price. A new bid must beat the standing one by at least 10 €.
• A bid placed in the last 10 minutes pushes the closing time back by 10 minutes, so the auction cannot be won by bidding at the final second.
• The highest bid on a spot when the auction closes wins it, whether or not the overall goal is reached.

After closing I email each winner a payment link. All amounts are settled in euros; prices shown in dollars are an indicative conversion and are not the amount charged.

A 20% deposit (minimum 10 €) is charged when you bid. If you are outbid and bid again, deposits you have already paid on that spot count toward the new one, so you only pay the difference. When the auction closes, everyone who did not win a spot is refunded in full, automatically; winners have their deposit deducted from the final invoice.

The card you pay the deposit with is kept for the balance only. If your bid wins, the remaining amount — whatever the auction settles it at, which is not known when you bid — is charged to that card when the auction closes, and you get the invoice. If it does not win, the card is never charged and the deposit comes back. Should the charge fail, I send a payment link instead.

If a winner does not pay the remainder within 7 days, the deposit is forfeited and the spot goes to the next highest bidder. No hard feelings, but the auction has to resolve.

By uploading a logo you confirm you have the right to use it and to let me display and print it for this project.

I review every logo by hand before it appears, and I may accept or refuse any bid at my sole discretion, without having to justify the decision — the lid travels with me, and I keep the final say over what it carries. If I refuse yours, your bid is cancelled and your deposit comes back in full.

I will print your sticker, put it on the lid, and take that laptop with me as I work — coworking spaces, cafés, events — and it will appear in the photos and videos I publish.

I make no promise about impressions, reach, views, clicks or results. Nobody can honestly guarantee those for a laptop lid, and I will not invent a number. You are buying presence, not performance.

A sticker is a paid placement, not an endorsement — in either direction: I do not vouch for the brands on the lid, and they do not vouch for me.

If a brand on the lid later turns out to be fraudulent, unlawful or materially misrepresented, I may remove its sticker and refund the remaining time pro rata. The lid travels with me, and I keep the final say over what it carries.

If the laptop is lost, stolen or replaced, I will move your sticker to its replacement or refund you pro rata for the time remaining, whichever you prefer.

If I cancel the auction before it closes, every deposit is refunded in full and nothing further is owed by anyone.
