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.

Er, to clarify, say I bid 120 usd, and the bid stays for 5 days. I budgeted 250$ total to try and win it and would have been happy to fight any comers for it.
Then Bob comes in and bids $121 in the last moment.
Instead of only getting 121$ because Bob was being a sneaky money saver (thus robbing the site of funds), the 2nd highest bidder gets an option to pay their bid price and also still get a single use of the PSD.
It's the same as an extra breeding of any one teo line, and lets the site possibly dig itself OUT of the hole instead of just breaking even.
Just, throwing that out there.

I don't think the artists would get paid if there were a ton of uses available? People fighting over the uses is what drives the price up and therefore makes enough that we can pay them? 17k is a lot >.>

Wolfy wants mxm 1x1s (#35112), Yes, you still have to win. And it IS still tiered, because there are levels of what exactly you win, depending on final bid. My price range, for instance, just gets one use to be self-colored, whereas someone with deeper pockets may win two uses with all Adventure skills, etc. etc.

I have an idea and I really hope no one yells at me for it. Could the artist's maybe accept half or one fourth of the bonus instead of all of it? That would go a long way to help.

Also, I doubt anyone will complain over a SINGLE extra use- especially if the cap is 50$ or above, it insures that most teos at LEAST reach 50$, which, is needed, because JFC this 1$ over thing is bullshit on the last day. XD

*Sigh* Then it looks like I'm not getting anything from this event except empty pockets. Oh well, hopefully they get enough for the artists.

Zaria (#14800) I put an option to potentially accept "Fame and Glory" as payment... which means I will plaster their name in neon lights and throw them some random items, as well as trying to ensure their name is in the description for the item... XD
(Mostly because one friend insisted that they wanted to enter, but NOT be paid...)
If artists here were comfortable with that, I'm sure they'd have volunteered it.

Already people are complaining about two extra PSD uses going out so I don't think increasing that number would be a very good idea.

They mentioned all the bonuses for how much you bid. I know it might undervalue the Teos, but right now I think it's just important that the artists get paid.
