What You're Bidding On:
Gnatty-Bug
Colorist General of the Beta Army
The only remaining active owner from when the shop was purchased from Buffynick and AFROTC member and enthusiast. Gnatty takes care of the majority of shop sales and events. She handles breedings, evolutions, regular items, and beta bribes as well. Put simply, she runs the joint and makes the moolah.

Psyren
Random 1337 Ninja Colorist
Psyren was one of the five Gaians who purchased the shop from Buffy, up until recently the only other remaining owner besides Gnatty. A busy Gaian bee, she was most often seen about the thread working on beta bribes that included breedings, evolutions, and occasionally regular items.
Autobuy: One of the following items, plus 100k (or item/gold equivalent): Angelic Scarf, AFK, or Angelic Minis.
Psyren High Bid
Dragoil - 80k
ArynLight
Colorist and SE lineartist
A shop staff member from when Buffy owned Beta Aquarium, Aryn handles pretty much all things SE, from auctions to commissions to questions, and custom items. Sometime soon she hopes to be able to help with regular beta things. She also likes to see how long it takes people to notice and/or panic when she's tweaking the front page or guild.
Autobuy: One of the following items: Nitemare Scarf, OMG, or Angelic Sash.

Mau
Original Owner's List Maintainer and Goddess of Beta Bandwidth
Another shop staff member from Buffy's management days, Mau volunteered to tackle the daunting task of the owners list upkeep when the betas were just over a hundred strong (and growing rapidly), as well as ensuring Buffy's Photobucket didn't die from bandwidth strain. She can be seen about Gaia, managing and coloring in several successful breedable shops of her own.
Autobuy: One of the following items, plus 100k (or item/gold equivalent): OMG, Angelic Sash, or Angelic/Nitemare Minis.

RavenFyre
Owner's List Maintainer
Rave is a shop regular who offered, along with Mau, to take up the enormous task of attempting to keep up with the beta owner's list, which he is fiercely protective of. He is often seen in the shop thread getting fluffed into a kitty puffball and is attempting to catch, if not surpass, Andrani in the amount of betas owned.
Autobuy: One of the following items, plus 100k (or item/gold equivalent): OMG, Nitemare Minis, or Portable Headphones.

Half of the final bid will go to the Staff member depicted EXCEPT in the case of an autobuy, where the item will go to the Staff member and the 100k (or item equivalent) will go to the artist (ArynLight).
Breeding Staff betas with regular/clownfish/SE betas will produce unique lineart chibi humanoid offspring. Breeding Staff beta offspring with regular/clownfish/SE betas will produce normal/clownfish/SE betas.
ArynLight
During any auctions run by ArynLight these rules apply to converstions in the shop thread as well as here and will be dealt with seriously and strictly.
- Do not steal the preview images or claim you made them. I will hunt your a** down.
- Discussion of funds you have or don't have is strongly discouraged.
- Do not retract bids after they've been quoted - doing so will get you greylisted.
- Do not edit your bids after I've quoted it. If you have something to add, make a new post. Otherwise your lower bid will be left to stand.
- You will display respect and common courtesy to everyone who comes through the thread.
- If anyone so much as whines, begs, pleads, throws a fit, guilt trips anyone, or otherwise tries to keep others from bidding, you will be banned from further bidding. If it continues, you will be banned from any further dealings with me and possibly the shop.
- Auction ends by the Gaia clock time stamp.
- Please total your own bids and be clear about which beta you are bidding on.
- Co-owning between two people is allowed.
- Payment is to be sent as soon as possible once the auction ends; the beta will not be delivered until payment is received.
- Payment is to be sent to ArynLight. She will send half to the other Staff members, after discussion with them if needed.
- Snipe guard is in effect.
Accepted bidding items:
- Pure gold
- All donation items EXCEPT May/April '04 items
- All event items WORTH OVER 5k
- All uncommon/rare items WORTH OVER 5k
Staff members, it is not recommended that you bid on yourself, since you will not gain anything from the final bid (aside from a shiny beta of course and keeping half of your bid). But if you don't mind that, go right ahead.
All item values set at mid uninflated TEH GUIDE.
Snipe guard:
- You must show interest (bid) 2 hours BEFORE the auction is scheduled to end in order to be eligible to bid within those last 2 hours.
- Final bid must stand for 1 hour, or auction will be extended for another hour.
- I reserve the right to reschedule any last minute bidding wars to a time more suitable to all involved if I cannot find another Staff member to watch the auction.

Rules Reminder
From this point on in any beta auction run by me, the auction rules will apply to the shop thread for the duration of the auction. Especially the "discussion of funds/people willing to give aid for current auction" and the "whining/guilt trip/throwing a fit/pleading/ect" rules.
Also, I'm going to be cracking down hard on anyone who breaks these rules. Break it once, you are banned from further bidding. Break it twice, you are greylisted and have the possibility of being banned from further dealings with me. Break it three times, and I will ban you from the shop.
Please please please don't make me have to smite you. I hate doing it and would really rather avoid it.
Thank you. 3nodding
