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.

Kita & Riri (#3988) Thanks, good to know the math, it seems this month just has been chaotic, hopefully the teo auctions will get things back on track.

I saved my 100 dollar bonus up. What else was there to use it on? I don't recall there being bonus's to collect after Black Friday. I could be wrong though. I was away for a little while.

there were a few here and there, christmas time as well, more recent the transitional fossil eggs were put in bonus tiers with other things. Most of the bonus things came with holiday sales or new things like the TFE. If missed in the news post, always keep an eye on the collect bonus page/the buy GP page to see what's up or upcoming usually.

I stand corrected. Thank you. :) The Christmas one I do remember now. The others for the life of me I cannot. It could be that I was away for them.

And when they put in the painted coins they had the painted metal coins as a collect bonus.

We don't know anymore, we are kinda deterred now seeing several users bidding on multiple Teos. We mean what is the point?

Valice & Fenris (#20488) those people are probably just bidding on all their favorites with the hopes of winning one, it's not like ten teos will go to one user. There are many low price ones (even under 10$) that just looking at the five or so extremely high (150+) isn't reason not to bid :) -h

Tbh I might be bidding on several but I'm going halfsies with other folks on a few of them. And willing to go halfsies on others.

The bonus from the USD auctions only accounts for 160 of the Teos (if the USD auctions made the site 16k). That means there's still about 500 teos to be accounted for, which can be blamed on people having ~5-6 months to save up. The USD auction was definitely a factor in the problem but I think there still would have been a huge problem if 500 Teos had sold day 1 (100 sets so $10k) ><
