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 feel like I'm talking out both sides of my ass. But I think it's unhealthy for me to stay disappointed/angry because people do not deliver on their promises. Especially when I see these same people managing to complete other people's requests in Exchange fests. But I do like them and their work and still assume they acted in good faith and meant to complete the work, but just couldn't manage it.
