20-cent-auction: worst christmas presents edition

auctioning off your worst christmas presents, starting at 20 cent a pop

We’re auctioning off your worst Christmas presents plus the best items from The Goldman’s lost-and-found with a starting bid of just 20 cents. There will also be five “mystery bags”, containing items that remain a surprise until the winning bid is placed.

Twenty slots are reserved for guests to bring along an item of their own, something they’ve wanted to part with since Christmas 2026, but haven’t yet found the right opportunity to do so. If the object or the process of gifting has a special story behind it, guests are welcome to share it.

Proceeds from the presents go to each seller. Proceeds from the lost-and-found go to our “Monthly Charity”. Please note that only cash payments are accepted for the auction itself, whereas food and drinks at the Oost Bar can be paid for by card as usual. Sellers may offer additional payment options.

6pm – 7pm // viewing of items
7pm – 9.30pm // auction at the Oost Bar

A total of approximately 40 items will be auctioned, including the 20 guest-contributed items and five mystery bags.

Hotel guests are invited to join spontaneously for free, just swing by the Oost Bar.
