I've bid 3 or 4 times on two different vidders...but I got outbid within, like, 30 seconds. That's not the type of thing that makes you keep on bidding right then.
I really don't think Sweet Charity has much to do with it. While Lithium Doll and Zoe Rayne got very high bids on their services, six of the vids went for under 40 pounds/$80 as the final bid (including the one I won).
And the first VVC auction had at least one vid go for under $50 final bid, and another around $100, IIRC.
I've bid all three years and this seems exactly on schedule to me. Lots of bidding in the first 2-3 days, then nothing until the last hour or so, where some vids doubled in price.
And don't discount the fact that only one vidder is offering Big New Fandom, and she's limiting it to S1. And only one vidder mentions Up and Coming new fandom.
I'm not complaining, because the fandoms being offered are My Fandoms. But if a Known SGA Vidder was on auction offereing to vid any song for all eps so far, then I'm sure the bidding would already be at $400.
