...and I'm ready to start negociating:

:) Muszka, do you feel like coming to an agreement so that each one of us keeps one of the two artefacts, or you wanna keep overbidding each other on both till one of us gives up? (feel free to PM me if you wanna keep the negociations private :p)

:) HP, I'm starting to consider being a nice guy and leave the pendant to you, but first you have to give with your next bet also a good reason why you want it, to convince me you really want it.

Not a bad idea actually. We can have a rule stating that if a round takes more than a week (or fortnight - depends also on how often asandir can make it here for updates), the minimum bids increase 10 times: Relic 1000, Major 500, Minor 200, Treasure 100.

I'm gonna wait for Muska & HP's reply to my previous post. If they just continue bidding, I'm gonna start throwing in higher bids. ;)

I'm not gonna enforce a rule like that, that's up to individuals, I will however try and get a new lot started regardless, part of my problem is that when I left work I forgot to copy across my auction spreadsheet! D'oh!

so will need to redo that, but I will attempt another lot tonight, tomorrow latest - that a solid gold commitment ;)

@Zamolxis
I don't like compromises, but I like sanity, and I don't think those artifacts worths that much in this case. As far as I know beside being part of a game, they have no use.
To keep it short, I'm in for your offer. I will go to the Dragon artifact since I have an itchy thing after dragons, I hope that's good for you too.

Dragon Scale Armor, Relic, Torso - 7200

P.S.: I don't think that this settleing needs PM, but if you absolutly want it so, I won't oppose.

Sword of Judgment 10,000.
Rib Cage 200.
Dragonbone Greaves 200.

I don't recall encountering the Spellbinder's Hat much, if at all. Does it add all level 5 spells to one's spellbook?
I'm a hypocrite because I suggested that all life is sacred and should not be wasted without good reason.

I just happen to like Pendants. Another reason I like the Pendant of Total Recall is that if you look at my avatar, you'll notice I'm an Archer and the Pendant of Total Recall protects against the Forgetfullness spell. So my next bid is:
