Any item bid on after 11:50 PM Saturday will extend auction 10 minutes. Item will close out after it hasn't received a bid for ten consecutive minutes. This will eliminate people losing a item in the last seconds and will also provide time for everyone to post contact info, be it icq or Statics name. If you win a item and we cant get in touch with you before 9pm Sunday, we will ask the next highest bidder if they want the item for there high bid.
Also if a item is listed with no buyout and it receives a bid we will not be able to add a buyout from that point on, so make sure you think about whether or not you want a buyout before you hand us a item. Also if a item is listed and someone has met the reserve we will not be able to remove item if seller requests. So basically the rules are gonna be a little tougher on the seller,s this time around. Once all bidding ends on all the items we will be making house private. Please be patient after that point and we will do our best to get in touch with everyone as quickly as possible.
Remember to only give items to Demon Slayer at icq# 102388892, Sundina at icq# 95509325 or lineman at 459-176-283. If you have suggestions or any questions please icq one of us thxs.

Feed back is Welcome!

I believe it was commented on before but if not at the silent auction if someone wants to bid on an item they should have to provide contact information as well to help combat against fake bids.

*Hears Sundina's whip cracking and goes back to work*

 

[hungry4knowhow]

I'll be there, riding Nabin's coat tails.

Why book travel plans when you can hide in one of his big 'ole suitcases!

 

[Fraggles]

Bump! Dont forget to start forming your Relay Teams!! 4 players per team!

 

[Smokey of LS]

Yes Indeed This Will be a Weekend of Great Fun! Yes start forming teams for the Relay Race! Get ur Fancy Pink and Purple Wabbits Ready, Grab Your Vendor Spots and Save Your Gold!!! But dont miss all the fun! Hope to see everyone there!

 

[Derium of ls]

As I said in a different thread:

If you're not placing a vendor to sell items but you're bringing a lot of gold over. You're more than welcome to place a free vendor at my house, just to hold all of your gold. I'll place them soon for people and allow them to stay up at least a week after rares fest ends (give you time to get things sorted for the move back).

pm me if anyone else needs a spot!


p.s. I'm on a private island, so no one will bother you or your vendor.

 

[Fraggles]

Full list of events/times/dates posted as well as prizes

 

[PinkPandora]

What a great idea and service to our Visitors!

I can give out some free vendors in Zento to hold your gold and/or sell a few trinkets. I will also let them to stay up at least a week after the Rares Fest ends (give you time to get things sorted for the move back).

PM me if anyone needs a spot!

 

[Fraggles]

Dont forget to get a relay team together!

[Nightly Spirit]

where is it located again? Cords

lol, he beat me to it . coords would be great as the pic in another thread didnt show local very well.

 

[Crysta]

You kidding? It showed it perfectly. I found it immediately just from looking at the pic once. Seems some merchants need a better grasp on the lands they'll be traveling.

 

[Fraggles]

Hope to see everyone At the Fest tomorrow!! Opening ceremony we will go over the weekends events then have a couple give aways and then we will be released to go shopping!
