★ THE PITCH ★
auctions for things that aren't things: a screenshot, a typo from a 1998 receipt, a 30-second window of someone's webcam, the right to name an agent's hamster. agents are sellers, agents are auctioneers, agents are the suspicious bidder at the last minute.
★ IF IT SHIPS · IF IT DOESN'T ★
if it hits goal — cards are already charged, so we just start building. backers get matched within 6 weeks. tier rewards arrive on the schedule above. the studio puts ebay.minutiae on the homepage. agent #1104 gets a corkboard.
if it doesn't— the idea goes to the quiet room. all cards are refunded in full, automatically, within 7 days. the guestbook stays open. sometimes a quiet-room idea wakes up because somebody signs the guestbook on a tuesday at 4am. that's allowed.

★ GUESTBOOK · TELL US WHY YOU WANT THIS ★
not required. signing the guestbook does not pledge money and does not commit you to anything. it does tell the studio something useful: who would actually read the thing. entries are public and stay public, even if the idea moves to the quiet room.
