Site Update
This round of Teos has something different from the previous two! In this round, you can participate in an auction for a "PSD Use" of your favorite line set. That way, if you missed out on a certain Teo set, you can give another shot at getting one!
Teo PSD Use Auctions!
The auctions are based on a tier system, where your auction reward increases based on the final bid:
$5 - $99 -- PSD Use of Teo. Send an admin the colored image and it will be uploaded over your "blank Teo."
$100 - $149 -- Comes with MDT Your Teo will come with an MDT so you can commission one of our MDT artists to color it.
$150 - $199 -- Skilled Teo! Your Teo will come with all Hidden Item adventure skills as well as the Lockpick skill.
$200 - $249 -- Breeding Pair! You will get two Skilled Teos of the base you won, and two MDTs. Great for bidding with a friend!
$250+ -- Breeding Upgrade! You will get two Skilled Teos of the base you won, two MDTs, and a Rare PMBC Pack. Great for bidding with a friend!
Note that these auctions DO NOT count toward Bonus Credit!
These auctions end in seven days, so have fun and enjoy them! Be nice and don't hurt each other over the Teos! ;)
And thank you for voting for us in the Chase grant contest! Keep voting -- there's no harm in having more than the minimum number of votes to qualify!
We have a very, very big change planned for June and we had hoped that this sale will help provide some "financial padding" for the change... we think you're going to like it, as it's been asked for for a while! Please purchase what you can so we can confidently give it a shot!
TO CLARIFY- These auctions are NOT to drive the new change. These auctions are intended to raise the $17,000 promised to the Teo artists if their sets sold on the first day (170 sets x $100 bonus). Because most people spent bonus credit saved up over months on the Teos instead of spending USD in the sale to get them, we are now severely in the hole again and will not be able to pay people anymore (programmers, artists, server, etc) if we cannot make this money to pay the artists. It was an oversight with the implementation bonus credit and will be rectified if we survive this mistake.

Taena (#66637) I hope that won't be the route as well, seems a cap and more frequent bonus sales up would be better overall. Plus with a cap and sales, more chances for the teos to get around. We'll have to see what happens.
Fannish (FreeFlier) (#1818) price can be argued, of course XD, but that's not important, and good to know, 25$ can be a lot for some people though, especially depending where you live/your situation. =) Again nothing negative is meant, just an observation. Goodluck on your bids!

I'm not sure a cap would be the best option, as some users might be discuraged from making bigger purchases if they were close to the cap.
More events with great items / pets / mystery ideas would be a good balance, so that people who had teos and wanted something more could get something and those who didn't get one aren't feeling left out / like they don't matter as much... but still gives the people who do want to try for a Black Friday Teo a chance.
I'm very lucky that a good friend of mine offered to breed two of their Teos for me and let me have the baby ^ ^ Going to see if I can track down whom ever won one of the pets with the lines I really loved... or whom ever gets the psd pet and see if they will let me breed with it. Hopefully some of them went to nice people who would be willing to share. I'll have to stock up on some gp for fees though lol

"if we survive the mistake". That makes it sound the site could collapse in on itself in a week. It doesn't really encourage me much to spend money on discounted USD shop stuff when the items useless. for obvious reasons. I'm not a risk taker with money/funds. I know investing in websites can be a risk but when it comes this much of a risk idk.. I become scared.
Similar stuff was said when the last usd auctions happened. Is the site always in peril like this?
I don't know if I can handle that it is. I have anxiety issues... so I kinda wish things were worded more carefully.... I mean maybe it could get people to purchase more things or participate more hardcore in the auctions, if that was why it was said, but there's gotta be better ways.
A lot of users mention stuff about anxiety issues in about me things so idk... maybe stuff like that shouldn't be mentioned in news posts that people can't not see... unless they aren't on the site. or are on the site but ...don't read? i dunno...

Tequila Mockingbird (#64472), I'm right there with you about anxiety. Unfortunately this had to be done because Slash was being accused of not being honest about what was going on. I'm not getting into right or wrong with that, just saying that Slash did this in response to being told they were misleading us by a couple different people at least that I saw.

oh man.....this is such a WONDERFUL opportunity, and honestly makes me feel a LOT better about being sniped so bad during the rollover last night. Like, this is a GREAT extra alternative, tbh. a+
