"One and Done" - Silent Auction

As announced yesterday, today marks the start of our "One and Done" silent auction, which we hope to hold here on the blog every Thursday. The high bidder will be the only one to be able to purchase the following image - EVER. Here is the item up for bid, and bidding begins NOW:


Today we feature a reindeer, perfect for Christmas cards or gift tags. Or even if you just happen to like reindeer! Again, this is a brand new, one-of-a-kind drawing.

Bidding starts at 1¢. To bid, you simply enter your bid total in the comments section of this post. There are no set increments, though each bid must be higher than the one before it. Copyright for the image follows the same policy as the rest of our digital designs. 


Bidding will continue until 10:00 pm (EST). The comments are time-stamped, so when we look back (tomorrow morning), the last comment left at exactly 10:00 pm or before will be the winner, and will pay the price that was bid, via Paypal or money order. If you're unfamiliar with digital images and would like to try them out before you place a bid, you can find links HERE to a couple of free image downloads to experiment with. Please do not bid unless you intend to follow through with payment should you win.

Auction "smack" is permitted, and encouraged! We want this to be a fun thing, so get over on the comment board and have some fun. If you want the image and don't have time to keep upping the bid, go ahead and place your final price, and see if anyone will be willing to top it. We'll list the winner on the blog tomorrow, and the winner will need to contact us with an email address to which the image can be sent.

One, give me one, do I hear one...
