I have $25 on a Mastercard in my hand, and want to exchange the money for any Wyrm!
I am fine with paying as soon as I have confirmation that the Wyrm is in the mail.
I am pretty much looking for any Wyrm that appeals to me, which isn't that difficult to do, so if you have a Wyrm that you just don't connect with anymore, then I'd probably love to take him/her in <3
I am getting a new Nikon camera soon, hopefully, and am in Photography class, so the wyrm will probably have many, many different photographs taken of him/her xD
I will also draw and buy art of the Wyrm, so rest assured, it will be VERY well taken care of! Ill even make it a little bed high up on one of my bedroom shelves to keep it from being damaged when I'm just sitting at home :)

I'm also offering art (Framed inked and colored drawings, charms of your Wyrms for necklaces/bracelets/keychains out of clay)

I wish I had more to offer, but I really don't... this is the money that I got for Christmas, and I'm old enough, but not allowed to get a job (I have to babysit my sisters so my mom can work) so I won't be getting any real amount of money besides this any time soon.

If anyone here is on ChickenSmoothie, I can offer a few Very Rares also...? '09 rares?

I just really want a Wyrm o.o

So yeah, basically that's it. PM me or post here, or if you'd like, I get emails on my phone like texts, so you can email me at tlmartinlit@gmail.com

Unfortunately the base cost of most wyrms exceeds $25 nowadays (the teaspoons are the only ones cheaper, but they're really rare items right now...plus shipping costs money too) so you may not have much luck with your offer right at the moment. Also, in general payment is made first and then an item is shipped out, not the other way around...if you were to buy anything from any online store, none of them ship before receiving payment, after all.

I'd suggest to save your money on the side and watch this forum, as sometime handlers who pick up wyrms at cons will do newbie sales at cost (for people with fewer than X number of wyrms). If you can't make it to a convention, and you miss breeding season, that's your best bet to get a wyrm.

Otherwise, you can look through the wiki and ask folks for breedings, and breed a baby when the summer season rolls around. It's fun to imagine what you might get, and we're pretty friendly folks!

Yes, I see what you mean. I plan on being able to attend Anthrocon in July, they'll sell some there, right?
I think I'll leave this offer up and save money on the side, like you said, and try to get to Anthrocon or else figure something out.

I also do things like art and I've been trying my hand at sculpting... do you think anyone would be willing to trade a wyrm for the money, and a few paintings/drawings/sculptures of their other wyrm(s)? Like, for example, if I did a sculpture of their wyrm to put on a charm bracelet/necklace or something?
Of course, it would have to be quite a few of those, but do you think that would up the value of the offer to a reasonable trade/payment?

Oh yes, people may take you up on trade or part trade, part sale offers. :) Also, Anthrocon is a good time to get wyrms, they usually bring lots! Plus for new people and/or those who haven't gotten any at the con yet, people will generally let those folks jump the line a bit, haha. :) Always more fun when more people get to participate!

You are welcome to use any of my Squirm for your examples, if any of them strike your fancy or give you inspiration.

I have a pretty interesting range of wyrms if you want to look at any of them as inspiration. I am always interested to see what kind of art people do of wyrms.
