The Joker sadly retired but the hat madness continued😂

5000€ for three hats folloewd by another 2000€ for a forth hat at Galacon 2022.

The funny part is, that the one whi won the three hats was already wearing one😂 So at the end he was wearing 4 hats

The charity this year got 30.000€ thanks to the hats♥

Eeeyup. Whenever you thought this whole thing could impossibly be topped, it was topped.
 
Both the auction and the closing ceremony exploded multiple times.

Man am I happy that I saw that in person. It was amazing.

Latest news: The Joker has finally been beaten. By Batman. I kid you not. (The same Batman who appeared at Perry’s charity auction at Czequestria last year.) And dozens of bronies who helped him out with money to beat the Joker’s 1,500 € bid. Altogether, they collected 4,824.32 € for Perry’s hat! Better yet, although the Joker had been defeated, he ended up joining in with another 500 €.
 
This made Perry’s hat the eighth-most expensive hat in the world!
 
Only some of the shenanigans at yesterday’s auction.

@Pulse Wave  

 
And 2017. Two hats for 1,500 €.
 
By the way, Perry (yup, she’s responsible for at least three memes in this fandom) has had her Hearth’s Warming Con premiere last weekend. Needless to say the audience demanded her hat at the auction. It has become impossible for anyone to get out of an auction led by Perry with their hat on. I’ve told her that in the event that I’d ever be so #HorseFamous that I’d join her on stage at an auction, I shall not wear any of my hats.

Yup, it was the same Joker.

@Pulse Wave  
It happened last year too? Was it the same person as well?

@Epicalaxy Master  
It was both 2015 and 2016.

It was 2016

that man outbid me with 10 euros on an 800 euro bid. i found that a tad uncool. But it is all for a good cause, so its okay. this year was a lot of fun as well

This has just been taken to all-new levels at GalaCon on Sunday. Perry has auctioned off THREE pieces of headgear (unless you count plushie-sized bottle caps as headgear): a Perry-style leather hat that belongs to a Fanta-themed pony plushie (shortly after a Fanta bottle plushie) and once again her own hat, joined by Dustykatt’s cap.
 
Perry’s hat was at 850 € already, exceeding the 810 € the Joker paid for her hat last year, before she signed it, and before Dustykatt added his cap. I think both pieces of headgear were signed by both. At the end, the Joker got them (again) for 1,100 €.
 
Yes, we are nuts. But that’s how you raise 16,000+ € in one auction.
 
I wonder whether that hat in the picture is signed already or not.

@Pulse Wave  
True that. But i must say the most epic moment was the moment when the Joker gets the hat at Galacon 2015.

@EvilCooky  

 
Pretty much every single bucking brony event in Europe with a charity auction in a nutshell. Ever since GalaCon 2012. At least when Perrydotto (see her artist tag on Derpibooru) is the auctioneer.

@Jason Cooper  
That’s what I’m saying brother from another mother!
