So. Bidding in Sweet Charity brings me great joy, mostly because apart from one or two of the people I'm bidding on, I don't mind if I win or not. It's been fun bidding, and deciding upper limits and then increasing those and then realising that, hah, actually, I have no idea how many of my hypothetical dollars I've been spending, and mostly, I don ( Read more... )

I'm glad you're having a good experience. It's for charity, I should be feeling a bit more benevolent. And yet, still irritated. :)

If you were a saint or something, I'd agree. But as much as it's for charity, this bit of it feels like a normal auction. And people blocking you like that is just mean.

Ooh! Idea! You should pool some cash with a few like-minded fandom peeps next auction, then just raise the bidding bar as high as you can collectively go. Surely more people could push the total higher than one person could go, right?

But I'm totally still up for the kidnapping plan

Thank you! It IS mean, damn it!

That's actually a really good idea! I may try to scrounge up some people to do that next time. Thanks!

Yeah, it's totally mean. And they're 'anonymous', so you can't even message them to ask for a fair fight. :(

:D Just call me Helpful McHelpful-Helpful! ....or, don't. >.

The "Current Hos: ####" shows you the total amount of money for the people you're currently looking at. So I'm guessing you were looking at the Fiction hos when it showed you that number, haha. If you, say, looked only at Supernatural vidding hos (like I'm doing right now) it will show "$854.41"

Also, \o/ \o/ \o/!!! It makes me so happy that you want to buy me, tee-hee. AND SINCE I JUST GOT MY PRODUCTION PREMIUM AND ALL I WILL TOTALLY ROCK BOTH THE VID AND THE PICSPAM WOOHOO! (Haha, even though I could have made the picspam with just Photoshop Elements too... But I like having the overkill, haha.)

I JUST HOPE I WIN EXTRAONIONS, MAN, if I don't get the other people I'm bidding on I'll survive but I MUST have Erin! OMG.

Bidded?

Hahahahaha THAT WOULD BE FRIGHTENING! Don't get too click-happy over there, LOL.

And I think "bidded" is right. *tilts head*

I just went and bidded for a couple more random people for shits and giggles and so that maybe even if I lose the people I REALLY want I might possibly get SOMEONE, we'll see.
