Maybe for the Dragon's Breath Opal, I think. What about 150k, or is that too high?

I would say 200k to 300k if your charging 300 gems.

We don't even know what the gems to treasure rate is yet, but I'm sure you can adjust prices as things go along.
Only issue is have is what would you offer as collateral for a blue print.
I personally wouldn't take anything that didn't cost gems lol

Thanks guys :3!
And yes, collateral would be a gem item or one of my Kickstarter items (I don't even plan on getting rid of my Cloudy bundle, and I may be getting a Fiendish or Clockwork c: )

Oh you're the one making the awesome gemstone skins! I'll definitely be buying just about all of them. I may even commission one based on Tiger iron aka Banded Iron Formation.

What do you guys think of the first auction?   A beautiful skin with scales like petals, perfect for a Guardian from the Nature flight, or anyone who enjoys roses.Click here for a larger view.
Next auction start: TBA
Auction end: TBA
All auction times start and end in EST. Currency will be listed under the auction picture. Please bid in this currency only.
Please note:
*A snipe guard of five minutes will be activated once there are five minutes left in the auction.*
For example, the auction ends at 3:00pm EST. It is 2:55 EST and Bidder A bids. The auction now ends at 3:05. If someone else bids at 2:56, the auction ends at 3:10. This is to prevent someone from coming in like a ninja and "stealing" the auction from others who may have been in a bidding war (bidding for a long time back and forth).
*All Auctions are customer exclusive, skins that go up for Auction cannot be bought by any other user*
*Price does not include the Gems for a Blueprint*
*Do not bid what you do not have!*
*The currency in the code is the only currency accepted for this auction.*
*Bidding Ladder goals are optional. If you win the auction, please specify what you'd like to receive. If you don't currently have the Gems for the extra skins, I can always hold on to them until you do.*
Starting bid: 50k
Minimum bid increase: 10k
Bidding Ladder:
300k - Minor Edits
500k - Major Edits
700k - Opposite Gender [2nd Skin]
800k - Different Species (of your choice) [3rd Skin]
900k - Edits on either 2nd or 3rd Skin
1 mil - Not sure! A custom skin or accent?
Auto-buy: 1 mil.
To bid, post this code:[color=darkblue][b][size=18]I'M BIDDING X AMOUNT OF ~TREASURE~[/size][/b][/color]Included a bidding ladder because as nice as I think this Guardian is, I want my auctions to be big with even more detailed things than her, thus all the extra skins you could get if you win the auction at certain prices. Especially once I move towards RL currency. Since I'm a poor college student and starving artist, I'm hoping that in the future after the shop takes off an the site settles in, I may be able to earn 5-10 dollars on customs or auctions >x< I've been doing things like this for a looooong time on Gaia, never been in it for the money, but the opportunity to earn a little bit of real money off of it sounds amazing. I've never found my original art to be good enough for commissions ;x; |

I love it!! >u< And personally I'd probably auto-start off by bidding 500k (assuming I had it at the time, or thought I could get it quickly) for that particular skin, since I think it would look amazing with the petals coloured to look like gems/opals (you getting tired of me loving opals on everything yet? I'm not.  ). Or maybe auto of 900k - 1mil to get that petal style, opal coloured, on a Skydancer or Imperial. Opals. Opals everywhere!! But in all seriousness, I adore your work, can't wait to see you on site, and I love the layout of your Auction post. ^^ Very simple and easy to read. |

As someone who's never been involved in skin auctions or anything similar before it all seems well laid out and easy to understand.

And haha who could ever get tired of opals? They're so pretty *w* And ooo, I keep forgetting about the Skydancers! Can't wait to get my hands on their templates~ I think I'll make 900k Heavy Edits on 2nd or 3rd skin, then 1 mil a custom skin for another breed or gender based on a similar theme to the first skin, like an opal rose c: |

Fufufufu. <3 Seriously. Expect me to commission you at some stage for one of these glorious skins. >:3 Like an opal rose skin. =u= Most probably on a Skydancer, since my little Opalescence will one day be a skydancer.
