I won a ten minute alteration session during EG but I'm not going to have time to use it, so am putting it up for auction. It has to be redeemed by the end of December.
All bids MUST be posted in this thread to be counted.

I'm curious how exactly this is being sold? Was there a certificate the winner holds? or... was it just by way of mouth "You were 1st place, congrats" type of thing?

Um, yeah... the fact that it's Thandiwe kinda pushes the price up. :)
Nice win. It's a shame I'm pretty broke now that EG is over.

Agreed. Well-organized and with pre-approved designs, 10 minutes with Thandiwe will net you 10-15 alters easily.

Lol @ 10 minutes.
I hope that's not actually true. 10 minutes of a GM's time. That's hillarious.

I think it's kind of funny if you look at it, not from an alter perspective but...
11million= $55 (at the least)...
$55= 10 minutes
60minutes in an hour, so that's like they make $330 an hour.
Screw law school, BE A GM!
(Note: I know the GM isn't making this money, but there's now a value being put on 10m of their time, etc.)

I assume a pre-approved list means you can email the ideas to her ahead of time as well, according to Laphrael's post.

If she's okay with it, that is, then yes. Of the alter sessions I've had in the past, most GMs seem to like having a pre-approved list to weed out any designs in advance that aren't going to fly...and it saves you from having to hurpadurp your way through re-designing them on the spot.

Only reason I'd offer to go so high on it.

I've won several alteration sessions, but only had the opportunity to use two. In both of those sessions, as well as another in which I wound up just not having time to follow up on, I sent the GM a list of what I wanted done, at her behest, and then she e-mailed me back on items which were acceptable and items which weren't. In each of these sessions, I had things lightened and deepened. In between each lightening and deepening, the merchant would hand the item back to me each time she worked on it, and then I'd hand it back for more lightening, etc. I assume all of the above still holds true, but I can't say with 100% certainty that it does.

I've done the math. Thandiwe averages 20+ easy, ready, unquestionable, pre-approved alters in 10 minutes or 8-12 questionable, not pre-approved ones. I think after I left she started putting a cap on it though (at least for the premium contests). It might be 15. I'm not sure if that is relevant to the certificate. She is fucking awesome, a workhorse. GS is lucky to have her.
One thing though, she goes very much by the alteration rules so read up on it and be prepared.
My 2 cents.
