Gamemaker's note: I will be playing with my "new" HOMM4Complete tonight but will try to close out lot #3 tonight.

I will be posting an update in about an hour or so. Anything that hasn't been raised since the last one WILL be sold at that time.

After that I'll give about four more hours before the next SALE.

I'm hoping we're about done now with the raising on Lot #3.

gravylur! Can I appeal for a rule change? Cancel the new rule, because if it goes on I have to win one of these artifacts

Banedon (and every other bidder without an item yet), you still have Lot#4 AND Lot#5 to secure a winning bid to receive the "bonus" 5000gp. The real reason, I'm doing it is to get new blood in here, so don't worry. I have some "bargain" items available in both Lot#4 and Lot#5.

Also, this seams to have an interesting side effect. Some bidders actually appear to be playing a "prevent" and have been upping the bids on lots of items. I almost sold the chainmail to winfrits at 10gp, and now it's up to 460! Actually it would have been at 5000 but DL can't use that yet

What that's actually doing is giving everyone a little less cashflow, so you should be able to get some really good items in the next two lots.

Hmm... Apparantly gravy can't distinguish between me and wimfrits. Interesting. Now, how do I exploit this to buy items for me while spending wimfrits' money?

[gravyluvr]

Oye. You're right. I think I typed winfrits anyway. oops.


I'm just excited that I've got my HOMM IV COMPLETE!

[Vlad976]

Very carefully.
