WHAT THE FRAK?

[gwyn]

Dudes. I cannot BELIEVE that no one has outbid my measly $110 on sweetestdrain in the Vividcon vidder auction, which ends today, peeps. This is your last chance to buy some of the best vidders around to make a vid to your specifications, and contribute to one of the coolest cons around, as well. Seriously: This lineup is incredible. I've put bids in on a bunch of people because I don't think there's a one in the group who wouldn't make me the most spectacular and wonderful vid. And yet... these are the lowest bids I've seen in the history of the auction.

Now, it usually heats up in the last two days, but... this is a lukewarm response, at best. What, did everyone spend all their dough on previous auctions? We're talking sdwolfpup, laurashapiro, absolut3destiny, and killabeez, citizens! Not to mention sweetestdrain, on whom I have like the lowest bid in the whole group and who is worth so much more. I'm thinking of bidding against myself just to get that kick-started.

Go! Bid! Pool your money with like-minded friends! You're contributing to a con that's kinda expensive to run, but produces some of the best fannish entertainment around, and you get to have a really amazing vidder (seriously, this is the most incredible group evah) all to your very self, just like a personal vidding bendy toy.

I know, I'm sitting here thinking... "Damn, $110?? Is it... cheating, if I asked some friends to go in with me...?"

I would bid, but I'm about to take Candy on her 50th Birthday Mystery Trip and am, therefore, severely budgeted at this moment in time.

Alas and woe ensue.

I made a bid back when it was only fiscally imprudent for me to do so -- not that the current bidders aren't getting amazing value for money, just that my budget is already in critical condition. :)

I bid early on several vidders to try and help drive the price up. I really wish I could afford more than $100 right now, but if I did that, I might not actually make it to the con itself. (:

I am kinda surprised, though.

OTOH, it's been a pretty hard year financially for a lot of people.

:::is torn:: I could hedge my bets and bid on two but I'm kind of afraid I'd end up with neither.

I know! The silence has been driving me crazy all week. I'm assuming that people are going to come out of the woodwork at the last minute.
