Okay well, I'm no good with intros, but this is an auction. As should already be obvious xD
I was bored one day decided to color a mustang. And then once I colored him, I realized he was quite stunning, yush, and I had to work out a way to get him fitted into the shop's plot. So I changed him a teeny tiny bit so that it works (although not all that well xD;wink, and TA-DAAA. We now have an auction <3
a. Donation items only. Items are accepted, but no store items and no event items. Only donation items worth upwards of 5k, please. Items are valued at low-MP (because chances are, we're going to sell them), but since prices fluctuate, round to the nearest thousand.
b. Anti-snipe is on. If anyone happens to bid in the last 5 minutes of the auction, it will be extend by 10 minutes, and so on.
c. Tally up your own bids. I'm not going to do it for you, so please add up your own bids if you are bidding items
d. Do not bid what you don't have. Self explanatory. You are going to have to send me whatever you bid by the end of the auction, so you might as well bid stuff you actually have, ne? Anyone caught doing this will be blacklisted.
e. You may not pull out your bid. It's just common courtesy, and it's unfair to bid something only to unbid it again later on.
f. Payment must be received within 48 hours of the auction's end. Otherwise, unless you have a good enough reason, the horse will either go to the next highest bidder or the colorist will sort out something else for the horse.
g. I reserve the rights to change/add any of these rules at any time as I see fit.
Here's a note from Fatima when she dropped off this gorgeous stallion:
To Whom it May Concern,
This horse is a precious and highly valueable one. He is the only mustang in my herd of finely bred Arabians. However there comes a time for everything to move on, and it is my wish for him to be sold to a good home. Had he not been what he is, I would not have hesitated to let him go. As it is, after many sleepless nights of debating with myself, I have come to the conclusion that he must be sold. Recently, he has been causing me more trouble than he is worth, always escaping his pen to pick fights with my other stallions. He is not worth the many mid-night awakenings, however gorgeous he may be. Therefore, I am hoping that whoever becomes his next owner will have more luck with him than I.
Fatima.
Now, there isn't much about him in that note, but here's some information.
The thing that is most obvious... is his looks. He looks uncannily like the mustang pioneer Hidalgo, who was the first horse of any breed other than an Arabian to have entered and won the great Ocean of Fire race. Granted, there are some slight differences, but the similarities are eerie. From what we know about Hidalgo, our horse has a more fiery temper (although we can probably attribute this to his desert home) and less obedience. He has never been ridden and is hardly halter-broke, but these are kinks that can be worked out in time. All in all, we have an absolutely gorgeous stallion on our hands and we need some help.
Could he be a descendent of the great Hidalgo? Nobody knows.
