What You're Bidding On:

Custom SE
Fully custom breedable Special Edition beta, hence no preview image.

You choose the character, any character, as long as it's not already listed in the "done" section here. The beta will start as an egg and grow with the necessary lineart edits applied, evolve naturally to its own special lineart, and pass along lineart/item edits to its offspring (who will NOT evolve naturally).

I'm using this auction to try to gauge a fair flat rate for custom SEs at the shop. Show me what you value a custom of this caliber at, but try not to go too insane right off the bat. We broke the price cap I had in mind and I have a price range to work with. Feel free to go nuts.

Autobuy: None

Custom SE High Bid
Steal -2.2 mil pure



Charity Custom SE
90% of the proceeds go to helping Gnatty get back her sash and to Rave and Kisha for their outstanding work in their joint raffle. Bid will be sent out when the regular custom SE auction finishes

Autobuy: exactly 1 angelic sash (or letter containing such) + 600k; The bid can include more, but it must at least include this.
Autobuy incentive: The choice to upgrade your prize to a fully custom breedable Special Edition Twin beta.

During all auctions these rules apply to converstions in the shop thread as well as here and will be dealt with seriously and strictly.

- Do not steal the preview-- WAIT! There ARE NO PREVIEWS! Carry on.
- On second thought, DO NOT steal my art that I link for examples. I WILL hunt your a** down and torch it.
- Discussion of funds you have or don't have is strongly discouraged.
- Do not retract bids after they've been quoted - doing so will get you greylisted.
- If anyone so much as whines, begs, pleads, throws a fit, guilt trips anyone, or otherwise tries to keep others from bidding, you will be banned from further bidding. If it continues, you will be banned from any further dealings with me and possibly the shop.
- Do not edit your bids after I've quoted it. If you have something to add, make a new post. Otherwise your lower bid will be left to stand.

- Auction ends by the Gaia clock time stamp.
- Please total your own bids and be clear about which beta you are bidding on.
- Co-owning between two people is allowed.
- Payment is to be sent as soon as possible once the auction ends; the beta will not be delivered/started on until the trade is started and the trade will not be completed until the beta is.
- Payment is to be sent to ArynLight.
- Snipe guard is in effect.

All item values set at mid uninflated TEH GUIDE.

You may use another price guide ONLY IF the items you intend to bid are not listed on Teh Guide. You must provide a link if this is the case.

Snipe guard:
- You must show interest (bid) 2 hours BEFORE the auction is scheduled to end in order to be eligible to bid within those last 2 hours.
- Final bid must stand for 1 hour, or auction will be extended for another hour.
- I reserve the right to reschedule any last minute bidding wars to a time more suitable to all involved if I cannot find another Staff member to watch the auction.

Still tweaking the "what you're bidding on" post, but for all intents and purposes, it's safe to post.

Since I have the weird knack of always having a JOB when I do auctions, anyone helping out by bumping would be greatly appreciated. All I ask is that you DO NOT SPAM. A bump every five minutes is greatly preferable to bumping every time you're cleared to post.

I will be here to open the auction, but can't stay too long. My work schedule is as follows

M-F: 9-noon CST = work
M-F: noon-1 CST = lunch (will check in)
M-Th: 1-4 CST = work
F: varies

Is it okay to post?

Edit: Yay first post! heart

So there is no auto on teh Custom SE...just the Charity Custom SE?
Yup. I've got my posts and think I've worked out the working kinks. Just no bidding until tomorrow. X3

Floppy Sex Symbol

-Can't wait till tomorrow... hopes she's not horribly outbid- x3
Yes Space. On the custom I want to see what you guys value a custom SE at and an auto would defeat the purpose. On the charity one, the point is to try to get specific things for our beloved Gnatty, Rave, and Kisha. X3

*fluffs Natty*

Floppy Sex Symbol

-Puffballs- x3
*fluffs Space too and tries to use her and Natty for a warm blanket* whee

Hmm... interesting. I might see what I can do. But, by the time I get here after the bids open.. there is a good chance I'll be outbidded before i can bid. but, if i'm not.. i'll make a go of it.

Floppy Sex Symbol

-Snuggles against Aryn to keep her warm-
*purrrrrrs and fluffs Grace too*

Floppy Sex Symbol

-Wonders if there's a way to just get the evolved stage... doesn't think she could be patient with a growing stage for who she wants to get- x3
