Charity auctions are usually not a great place to find deals. Still going to try for one.

Not looking for a deal in this kind of event.




This is absolutely gorgeous but paying over 3k is a bit too much for me.

Especially for a 10x16 digital painting, but it's for charity

Definitely not meant for flippers, but for die-hard collectors...

I had my eye on several pieces since the gallery went live. Something shady is going on.

It's too easy to place a bid, just with a name and email. No registration required. Every time I bid just now before closing, I would get an error "something is wrong". Right now, officially 5 minutes after bidding closed, the amounts are still increasing.

Edit: and now at 2:06am their whole site is down.

I tried to bid a few pieces too. But the last few minutes there were too much traffic to their site and I believe it crash. Needless to say I dont think I won. I really hope my bid was submitted but chances are low.

Their bidding system is lacking.. I bet many people have missed out too.

This is fun. I bid on several pieces, every single bid results in an error, every time. And bidding was still 'open' after the cutoff time up until 11:06pm, it still allowed you to 'bid' even when it said so closed... I know because I kept trying since my bids error'ed out before the cutoff.

So I wake up to an email this morning "congratulations FFX auction winner!" I won one of the pieces I was after, and I'm pretty sure it was one i kept trying to bid on after the cutoff too.
