I have bid the top amount, $500 on a shop today, I would love to have a shop just before I go, especially one selling stuff cheap because I think everyone deserves a chance to buy a design.
If I do get a shop I will post previews of a selection of my designs and then have people vote for their favorite and the most voted item from the group will be put on sale and I will make a gift to one person and the rest is fair game.
