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.

You are correct, Wolfy wants mxm 1x1s (#35112). I think that just means that it's a regular Auction, but if the winning bid is in those ranges, that's what the winner gets. So in MY case, if by some miracle, I won with, say, a $10 bid, I'd only win ONE use that I'd have to either color myself or pay another player to color.

I do not have the money to participate in the auctions, but if anyone is open to offering GCC style commissions (1-3, depending on amount spent; not anything too high though) in exchange for an auction won PSD if anyone is interested? :^O negotiate via PM?

So you still have to win the bid? That's too bad, I was hoping it was an anyone who bids $5 or more gets a use. That's not a tier system, though like they said, so I'm confused.

Wolfy wants mxm 1x1s (#35112) Honestly this would be so much better for getting the need money because multiple Teos could get money, or at least the top 5 bids of it or something more than just 1 person per since it looks like we need each one to net $100 or more. Then again I don't run a business so I'm sure there are flaws in my logic.

Mostly that's bad because you're extremely devaluing the Gen1 teos that people paid hundreds for on site already

Idea- anyone who holds the 2nd highest bid can choose to pay that amount for another use?
Would that be possible J.A.K. (#15)?
Also works as snipe guard- so if someone snipes, the person that held the base bid can also get it?

It does make more sense that way, like you said, that would mean money from everyone who bids. I don't mind having to color a psd myself, I just want a teo that looks like one of the bases!

BirdyJ (#1164) Thanks for explaining. I just guess I see it ore as if the site closes it doesn't matter but I get that people wouldn't be as happy with and therefore less likely to bid high. :3

If there was multiple uses of the same teo available, what incentive would there be to bid to 200 bucks? There isn't that much competition on them. So even if three uses were available, and they only go for 20 each, that's still only sixty bucks. Scarcity is what makes anything desireable/expensive. That's just the way it is unfortunately.

Thanks for answering, Erithan (#49253) & SeaCrest (#55939); that clarified things a bid. I am SO not an artist, so I rarely customize or breed.
