Offer: Be an (Evil) Magician With Booty

[sarahtales]

OFFER 1: You can pick a single name which I will assign to a magician character in my YA novel, The Demon's Talisman, which will be published by Simon & Schuster and is the last of a YA trilogy. It can be your first name or surname. (Note: I stole this idea from oracne, who is offering the chance to make you a pirate

Question: Are these three separate auctions or one single auction of Sarah Rees Brennan buttery goodness?

[kate_nepveu]

Ditto!

(Because I think you could get separate bidders on all three. Me, I want!!!! that poster, but don't need a signed book or a named character.)

[sarahtales]

Well - I was thinking a single auction, both to have a Shiny Prize, and because Ireland-to-the-rest-of-the-world postal costs are direly expensive, as I have daily proof!

That's why I offered any edition of Demon's Lexicon, as I figured some people with one edition might want another, for shiny German cover/Japanese edition with dagger art and map inside/whatever strikes their fancy.

That said if a ton of people are like, Do not care about your stinkin' book, want the Arakawa art though, I will be proved bad at auctions and seek advice...

[kate_nepveu]

Or you could split the tangible and otherwise parts.

[rachelmanija]

This auction is now for three separate items.

[rachelmanija]

I think splitting them would better, actually. My feeling is that all three individually could go for a lot (but affordable to the individuals) whereas the lot will quickly become unaffordable for all but a few.

Thanks Sarah!

[sarahtales]

Even as you command. Er - now I have no clue on what to do about maximum and minimum price, though? Should I just go ten dollars minimum price?

[rachelmanija]

Sorry to make more work for you! I suggest editing this post (since people have already commented), and putting the $30 minimum as a minimum bid for each item. Listing a BUY IT NOW price is optional; you might not want to do that, since, again, there could be quite high bidding for these items.

[sarahtales]

Well, I hear and obey, but am secretly convinced nobody will buy 'em...

[rachelmanija]

Try saying what the offers actually are on YOUR LJ. People often fail to click on links when they don't say what they are.

[sarahtales]

Done.
