Surprise #1. The 5000 gp bonus to new players has been extended through Lot#6. Invite your friends!

Lot #5 is closing... Lot #6 is active! Post#1 is updated with Lot #4 sales. Cashflow is updated too. I've decided that I will only update Post #1 afcter each lot closes. Lots 6-8 have three special "surprise rules" to keep things interesting. I didn't want to sell anything else from the fifth lot until everyone gets a chance to bid.

New Rule: Three Objects originally included in the 170 items will no longer be sold in the Auction. They will be replaced by three "surprise" objects. The first object, parchment, was replaced by "Can of Spam." In Lot #6, the scroll has been replaced by Pandora's Box.

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... Kalah=0, DaemianLucifer=4000, Gaidal Cain=5520, Orfinn=6500, Vlad976=10000, Echo_=11440, Sir William S Titan=13780, Banedon=17000, Fyl=20400, Tao Jones=23560, ThunderTitan=24450, wimfrits=24650, a55a55in=25180, and Pepak=29500. (Does not include Lot #5)

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 #5 Open!
