Start every month with a standing order of 125 TCredits: 1500 VP right off the bat. Plus you get 100 more VP for just having the standing order worth 1500 VP. EVERYTHING ELSE IS COMPLICATED ! Keep it simple and easy to duplicate.
This is also the most cost effective way because those TCredits are purchased at their least expensive cost per credit. You can save your TCredits over the next few months and really dominate on your first auction; like the 6 month TCredit Subscription.
