Flatsales

Base Price - 20k

General Rules

01 - When quiet is asked for, please respect this and be silent. This means that no one gets startled into a false start. Those that cause a false start will be disqualified and could even be grey/black-listed.
02 - Do not post any forms before the 'GO'.
03 - Do not edit posts, especially if you did not post for the FS and then realise you got first post after the 'GO'. This is a grey-listable offence.
04 - No retractions!! It is not fair on those that have the money and have been wanting a Daemon for a long time.
05 - No whining or hassling if you didn't win!! Be a good sport! There will be more opportunities!

Once the flatsale has ended AWAIT CONFIRMATION FOR THE WINNERS. Do not give yourself the embarrassment of assuming you have won and send the trade, only to receive a PM saying that actually, you haven't, please cancel the trade. Wait for confirmation, THEN send your trades. Trades should be sent within 48 hours of the sale, else the next person/people in line will win instead of you. If you might be absent for a little while due to real life, please make sure you let someone know, so we can save your win.

Types of Flatsale

Speed
Speed flatsales, though not the most common of the FS types, is the easiest of the ways to get your hands on a Daemon from 'Souls Manifest'. These will ask for you to fill out the form and then post it after a 'GO' is issued. The first participants to post, up to the number of Daemons being offered, will win their Daemon.

RP Flatsale
RP flatsales are one of the most common ways to get a Daemon. Run in a similar style to a Flaffle, an RP FS asks for people that wish to participate to post the form in a designated time limit, and then, once that is over (generally an hour), participants will then be given the RP prompt to answer. After a certain time period (usually from 48hrs to 1 week) the sale will be closed and the entries from those that were admitted entrance will be judged. Those that missed the form-posting, but still posted an entry will be ignored and told to either delete or change their posts. Once this time period is over, a number of winning posts will be chosen and these will win their Daemons.

Flaffle
Flaffles are run as a strange hybrid of a raffle and a speed FS. Initially, to the 'GO', participants post their forms to take part. After the designated time (generally an hour) has passed, the participants that got their names in on time will be entered into a raffle, and a number of names will be drawn, depending on the number of Daemons being offered.

Auctions

Starting Bid - 20k
Autobid - None currently
Minimum Bid - 1k

General Rules

01 - DO NOT BID MONEY YOU DO NOT HAVE!! This is extremely important, for if you win, yet don't have the money to pay for the Daemon, you will be instantly black-listed. This is extremely unfair to the other patrons participating, and will not be tolerated.
02- Do not guilt those bidding against you. To guilt-trip someone out of bidding on a pet becuase this or that has happened in your life and you deserve the pet more just doesn't wash, and is very unsportsmen-like.
03 - No co-owning. You can help someone by adding to their bids, but that does not entitle you to part-ownership. It was just a very nice thing you did.
04 - Items can be pledged, but will be taken at lowest TekTek price for that day. If you think it deserves to be more, sell the item and pledge the pure. No common shop items, unless over 10k.
05 - Interest must be shown at least 2 days prior to the auction in the main thread. This is an anti-snipe measure, so people don't come in and take a pet, only to disappear without a trace.
06 - A 10 minute anti-snipe guard will be put in place on auctions to stop someone jumping in with last-minute bids. After each new bid after the snipe-guard time, 10 more minutes will be added till there is no other entry for 10 minutes.
07 - Tally up your own totals in the bidding post.

Again, AWAIT CONFIRMATION OF YOUR WINNING before placing your trade. This is again to save embarrassment. You will have 48 hours to send the trade. If it is not sent in this time frame, the next person in line on the bidding will win instead. If you have real life needs that may see you unable to send the trade in this time, please try and let us know prior to winning so you can have your win safeguarded.

Customs, Bribes and Pet Trades

Custom Base Prices
Daemling onward - 100k
Settler onward - 75k
True onward - 50k
Inner Manifestation - 100k
> For MinRP Reqs., add on 50k to each base price <
To go straight to Inner Manifestation costs so much because these are usually only available through special RP contests, and as you have cut out all of the RP involved, they will cost more. They are also rarely available. It should also be noted that these base prices can be changed if the Artist feels that what you are asking for will require more time and effort.

Bribe Base Prices
Daemling onward - 200k
Settler onward - 150k
True onward - 100k
Inner Manifestation - 200k
> For MinRP Reqs., add on 50k to each base price <
Bribes are ALWAYS open, however, these are only BASE PRICES. If you desperately want a Daemon outside of any other events, but the Artist you wish to Bribe isn't interested in doing a Bribe at that time, you can always try to sweeten the deal and add more onto the offered price. It should also be noted that these base prices can be changed if the Artist feels that what you are asking for will require more time and effort.

Pet Trade Offers
Currently, I am open to any offers from any shop, and any offers will automatically be placed as MinRP Reqs. Please bear in mind, if offering a pet trade, that all the art here is unique to you, and as such, the value of it should be reflected in your offer. If your pets are templated lineart, then perhaps your offer will need to be a little sweeter then a shop that is offering unique art. This is not to say that offers will be rejected if I believe it a little unfair, only that I will request something a little sweeter. Please don't be offended if this is the case. Remember how much effort is going into each of these pets!

General Rules

01 - Space is limited, so make sure there are slots available before you demand one.
02 - Though it is possible for certain animals to be repeated, and in fact, a lot probably will be repeated, the art itself will always be different, so make sure to check other Daemons before posting for a custom to make sure that the pose you may want is not in use.
03 - Do not pester the Artists!! Whether it be to ask if they are opening customs, where your custom is or anything along those lines, just don't do it. We have lives outside of Gaia, even if you don't, and we are working on getting your Daemon to look as perfect as you expect it to be, so just don't go on. Repeat offenders WILL be black-listed.
04 - Make sure you have the money to pay for your Daemon. Do not claim a custom if you can't afford it!

Again, AWAIT CONFIRMATION OF YOUR WIN BEFORE SENDING THE TRADES!!. I think you get the drift now.
