Bidding

Please note that you will not be able to post bids until the auction has actually opened. Replies to the offer threads will be disabled until then. So don't worry if you notice that you can't reply to an offer thread before bidding has started - that's not a bug, it's a feature goofy


Once the auction opens, you may post bids on the fanworks you’re interested in winning.

  • Please post your bid as a REPLY to the offer
  • Bid in increments of at least $1. Your bid must (obviously) be higher than the previous bid
  • If you are making the first bid, the minimum bid will be $1
  • In the unlikely event that two bids of the same amount are posted at the same time, the one that appears first will be valid, and the one below it will not count; if you made the second bid of the same amount, you must bid a higher amount to be the leading bidder
  • At the end of the auction, all threads will be closed to new replies. If you were in the process of posting a bid at the time but have not actually clicked post, your bid will not count. If you had clicked post but the forum was closed to new replies while your reply was being processed, it will not count. Sorry! Only bids that appear on the thread at the time the threads are closed to replies will be valid




Please note that it is possible that the boards may close for up to 8 hours at some stage during the auction. This is to perform essential work related to the software upgrade. Once we know when this closure is going to happen, we'll let you know, and if the timing affects stated auction start or finish times we will make an appropriate adjustment if possible.


After the auction

Please contact your offeror as soon as possible with your proof of donation, and then you can discuss the details of the fanwork you’ve won.
