Day 54 Question

[tripperfunster]

a) have you ever bid on a 'fandom' auction or purchased a commission?

b) did you get what you paid for? Or did you get burned?

I bid on three different artists/writers in two different fandom auctions (ie. help_haiti and help_japan) and I got burned on all three. *grumpy face* Do I have particularly bad luck? Or are artists/writers just that unreliable?

As for commish: I've only bought two or three and have been very happy with the results of all. I've been ripped off on ebay once or twice, but over-all have had a positive experience.

I've always been to nervous to participate in either end w.r.t. fandom. Money and fandom dont mix for me personally. However I've custom bought things on Etsy with great success.

I've actually sold a fair amount of stuff (both personally and through charity type auctions) and I"ve never been ripped of money, but I have been ripped off 'stuff.'

I've never tried etsy.
