(This is a fish tank. You feel compelled to tap it. Are the fish even real? You speculate how the fish tank is kept so clean. It's mysterious and suspicious, really.)
Your aquarium is undergoing maintenance!

(You discover Shadow puts auctions up for bid here. Any item, any price, starting at 1P? Seems suspicious... Maybe investigate?)

What items do I put in my store?
Equip / Game / Special* / zOMG! / Paw* / Aqua / Astra*
Excluded: House / Formula / Kindred / Flair (Not Available, or completely out, or just very rarely in stock.)
*running low on these items, or might be completely out of these items at the moment. Refilling... slowly... Come on, Daily Candy carts!
Check back later by looking at my Signature in the Forums!
I cycle through the items list, so no week** is the same item listed twice!
**I try to refill the store on the weekends, so anywhere from Friday - Sunday.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Why do I put items up for bid at 1P each for 7 days?
First, I'll be wordy and explain why I chose 7 days.
1-day listings felt too quick for people to notice the items were listed, and I felt it was excluding people who had time zone differences, lack of internet access, or lack of money; 14-day listings felt like it was backing up my store, and I'm sure waiting for 14 days was difficult to deal with. So, I settled on a nice, 7-day waiting time instead! Goodbye, 14 days, hello 7 days!
Second, I'll be wordier and explain why I chose 1P bids.
Inflation bad, saving good.
Aside from that long ramble there, my store is set up to start everyone out with an equal chance at bidding!
Even if an item is being sold in the Marketplace at 1k, 10k, or 100k+, I'll still start the bidding at 1P in my store!
This gives everyone a fair chance at attempting to get an item from my store, but don't forget, bidding = competing!
Good luck, and thanks for stopping by my store!

Also since I forget, there are rules. Rules on things I won't do:
Not accepting 'accept it right now' requests.
(Example: Bidding 2p on an item and then telling me to accept the bid for some reason.)
Not accepting 'big bid wins quick' requests.
(Example: Putting a ton of money on an item immediately and then asking me to accept them as the only bidder right away.)
Not accepting 'buy instead of bid' requests.
(Example: Finding a way to remove the item from the listing and then selling the item to a person at a higher price.)
Not accepting 'bulk buy instead of bid' requests.
(Example: Wanting all of an item at a set price.)
Not accepting 'hold it for me' requests.
(Example: Asking me to hold an item and replace it in the store, or sell it to them directly outside of bidding in my store.)
Not accepting 'exchange' requests.
(Example: Trading one item for another, regardless of price.)
Not accepting 'refund for my item later' requests.
(Example: Winning an item and then not wanting it the next day. I'm sorry, but you're given a whole week to bid against other people... If you don't want it, don't bid on it, so make sure you want to keep the item you're bidding on before bidding on it!)
Rules on things I will do:
If you accidentally bid 100,000 instead of 1,000, fear not - I will give you a refund! You'll just have to trade the item back to me, and I'll trade your money back to you. However, the item will not be held for you, and will not be sold to you. If you still want the item after it has been given back to me, I will have to list it in my store again starting at 1P.
These rules are in place so that everyone gets a fair chance at bidding on any item that starts out at 1P in my store.
If I bend the rules for one person, then I'd have to bend the rules for another person, and so on; that'd just lead to a mess, and I'd rather avoid that. Also, it would give a sense of 'unfairness' if I pick someone over another, and that would be wrong of me to do!
So, all I can say is:
Good luck, and happy bidding! emotion_yatta

Sorry for the inconvenience!
