[Auction Ended] Stack of TNT/ 5 stacks of Gunpowder [7.1k]

I have 5 stacks of gunpowder for sale. Can be made to a stack of TNT, but I decided to wait because maybe someone would want it, for example in 1.9 I hear you can add gunpowder to potions to make them like grenades xD.

Why would you buy this? Instant mountain demolition, instant terraforming. Instant slime farm, just plant these charges. Don't like your neighbor?... Buy his realm, wait 15 days, then bOOM. Got an old house, but too lazy to take down? bOOM!

All profit will go towards the future fund of Crystal Nation, so bid generously!

Anyways, Opening bid here will be based on 50/ tnt, so 50*64 = 3.2k
There is a reserve price. Please bid in minimum increments of 100. Thanks

EDIT: I'd like this auction to end within 24 hours. So after 24 hours I will run through a process that I call "automatic bidding", which will force a deadline on this auction. If you want to participate in the "automatic bidding", pm me your maximum bid amount. After 24 hours, bidding will no longer go through the posts, but I will do it on paper. If the "manual bidding" final amount is lower than any *non winning player's* maximum bid amount, I will automatically bid on your behalf. Everything will be transparent and shown in a post. This automated process will go on until nobody has a maximum bid higher then the current bid.

Here is an example, using arbitrary numbers. Auction ends at 5000. George is winning with 5000. George pm'd me his maximum bid of 6000. Daniel pm'd me his maximum bid of 7000. . . I would automatically bid on Daniel's behalf to 5100, then on George's behalf to 5200, then.. eventually Daniel would bid 6100, and George wouldn't bid over his 6000. Daniel would win it for 6100, even though his maximum bid was 7000.

I'm doing this auto bidding because I don't want this to drag on forever. Feel free to pm me a maximum bid anytime. I'll post here a warning an hour before the auction ends. When it ends, then i'll post the results of auto- bidding, and the winner. Thanks

EDIT 2: Glad to say we have passed the reserve price of 5k. Will now sell for whatever winning bid is. Also just to clarify on taxes. You are bidding the total price that you will pay. So if you bid X, you pay me X, and I get 90% of X. You don't need to worry about taxes.
Just wanted to be clear about that.

50 per TNT really? That's more expensive than Glowstone at 2k a stack.

Are you guys crazy. 50rc per TNT, you can get it for 20-30, even lower if you know the right people to go to.

Oh, I'm sorry. Were you the one selling the sulphur? No? Oh, just curious as to why you were deciding when he will end his auction.
