Hello, hello, hello!

Welcome to STL: Art Auction.

STL: What does it mean?

STL stands for "Sky's The Limit". A term used to describe something that has no limits, no boundries, and no constrictions. I have made this, with several artists, with 5 groups of 5 separate artists, each with their own IMMENSE talent, are here to serve you.

Your hard-earned Gaia gold, will be certainly well spent on these gifted individuals, all having invited their services to work for you, the buyer, in one of the largest auctions that Gaia has ever seen. I certainly hope that the effort, and hard work from all of them, and myself will live up to the name.

~F.A.Q~



1. How is this thing organized? I don't understand it at all.

Well, the process is simple. I have organized all of these talented artists into small groups of 5 each.

You (the bidder,) will then place yer bids on the group(s) of your choice. When the auction is over, the high bidder of each section will recieve what their group has to offer, based on each artist's (of the group that's won) "share info". That will be located under each artists samples respectively.

2. Can I bid on more then one group?

Of COURSE you can, in fact, I almost encourage it. Bid as you like.

3. What happens if I win?

Upon winning, you will be notified by me. In that pm, I will let you know a few things; what group, who is in it, YOUR high bid, and what the artists are offering for their share of the take. THEN you will send the gold to me, upfront (sorry, no "let me see my art before I pay" this time). Upon notification from YOU (the bidder) that each artist in the group you've won has indeed met their artistic requirements. I, will then in turn, forward the share to each artist. If YOU (the bidder) do NOT comply with this, I trust my artists to tell me that its finished.

4. What if I don't recieve my art by the date promised?

I, TQW, am taking no responsibility for any of the artists here. We're all adults here, and I trust all of my artists to complete the tasks that are given to them. If, however, all else fails, and you cannot get anything from them. After a 30 day period, I will gladly refund the amount of gold for the artist in question. That means that you will not receive the FULL bid, but simply that fraction that would go to that artist.

**I also note. Personal issues do arise so please do not waste my time. I am not a mediator, nor am I a babysitter. If you are CERTAIN that you will not receive yer art, and have tried, with no avail, for a 30 day period, THEN pm me. Not a day before. I'll be extremely busy with my own art and will not have time to simply play referee for months on end. **

5. What are the dates for this auction?

*laughs* An oversight on my part.. I forgot to say when it ended.

It began last nite at midnite, and will run for 1 month. However... if I find the bids are not to my liking... I will extend it. longer, but as it stands, it will end on June 1st, 2005 at midnite.


~Thats' all for now. Should I get any more questions, I'll add them. ~

exclaim No spamming. I don't mind conversation. After all, a bumps' a bump
exclaim No flaming, either this auction, or the artists. I spent a long time, setting this up, and to insult it, is nasty. That, and I bite twisted
exclaim No retracting bids. Nothing is more dishearting for an artist then to have a nice juicy bid taken away from them. Its makes us cry,... don't make an artist cry.
exclaim We will take items for bids, but only if the approx value is placed in ('s beside your bid.
exclaim When placing a bid, please say what group you're bidding on.
exclaim When placing a bid, it should be YOUR (the bidder) assumption that you're going to win. In that event, if you place a bid on a certain group, have the commission info ready, or at least have a good solid idea as to what you want. This lets the artists get to work as soon as possible, and gets your art to you quicker. So even if you DON'T think you're going to win... bid like you ARE, and be prepared in case you DO. 3nodding



**Other then that... go NUTS! biggrin

**All artists here have been fitted with a 5k SB. I consider it only fair. Because I can't allow myself to let these artists go for any less then 1k each. **
