This news just in!
The Palaedran, Great Arcanian and Aranornian stock markets HAVE CRASHED! All Axeothian Gold Pieces are now practically worthless! People from all across the New World are desperate to find some old Erathian or Bracadan GP to do their basic shopping for turnips!

Selling Out!!!! Lot#5 Will Start Very Soon!!!! I've learned my lesson!

New addition... there are three objects that will not be sold in this auction that were in my original list. So while my original list should drop from 170 to 167, I have decided to substitute two objects into the auction. When the next lot comes up that should only have nine items, I will substitute in the first object. For those of you who are curious... Parchment was scheduled for Lot#5 and Scroll was scheduled for Lot #6 so they will each be replaced by a "substitute item."

NEW RULE!!!! Anyone who has won a bid in the first five lots will be getting a $5000 bonus!!! The 5000 bonus will be available in lot #4 for anyone who has bought at least one item in the auction!

Everyone involved in the Auction has a current "credit" of 25,000 gold pieces (each) :D except the auctioneer :(

And... DaemianLucifer=5000, Kalah=5470, Gaidel Cain=5520, Vlad976=10000, Orfinn=14000, Echo_=17440, Tao Jones=23560, Sir William S Titan=23780, ThunderTitan=24450, wimfrits=24650, Fyl=29150, a55a55in=29400, and Pepak=29500. (Does not include the current lot)

Bids begin and go in minimal increments of 10 (Treasure and Item), 20 (Minor), 50 (Major), and 100 (Relic). Please offer or raise more than the minimum.

Lot #4 Open!

Consider Lot # 5 Open!!!!!

The following object…
Image, Parchment, Treasure, Left Hand, Teaches the hero <some spell> spell. To learn the spell, equip the Parchment in the hero's left hand. The hero must have the sufficient magical skill to learn the spell.

Has been replaced by…

Image Can of Spam!!! “Item”, Miscellaneous, It’s a can of spam!!!

And….
Image, Crossbow, Item, Ranged, Increases a hero's Ranged Attack by 3, and removes all range penalties.
Image, Axe, Item, Right Hand, Increases the hero's Melee Attack by 8, and decreases the hero's speed by 1.
Image, Cart of Lumber, Treasure, Miscellaneous, Gives +2 wood per day when equipped by a hero.
Image, Dwarven Hammer, Treasure, Right Hand, Increases the hero's Melee Attack by 10.
Image, Spear of the Centaur, Major, Ranged, Increases the hero's Melee and Ranged Attack by 8, and all friendly ranged creatures suffer no penalty when fighting hand-to-hand.
Image, Staff of Wizardry, Major, Two-Handed, Reduces the mana cost of all Order spells by 50%. The minimum cost of any spell is 1 point. Uses both the left and right hand slots.
Image, Halberd of the Swiftwatch, Minor, Two-Handed, Increases a hero's Melee Attack by 25, increases speed by 2, and negates the First Strike ability of enemies. The hero can also attack 2 yards away. Uses both the left and right hand slots.
Image, Supreme Crown of the Magi , Relic , Head, The hero gains +50 spell points and regenerates 10 extra spell points per day.
Image, Warlord's Ring, Treasure, Ring, Increases the Melee and Ranged damage of all friendly targets by 20%.

Sorry for the quick draw... but I know I will be all over the place over the next week or so so I had to open it from home (now).

Gravyluvr, did you update the amounts of gold of each player? It seems you didn't for Sir William S Titan or any of the lot-4 winners.
