Lot#5 is closed!!! I will update Post #1, Open Lot #7, and update the cashflow from home tonight.

Lots 6-8 have three special "surprise rules" to keep things interesting. Surprise #1 - The 5000 gp bonus to new players has been extended through Lot#6. Invite your friends! Surprise #2 is still a mystery but will be known while Lot #7 is on sale. Surprise #3 will be launched in Lot #8.

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 In Lot #6, the scroll has been replaced by Pandora's Box.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 :(

If the Warlord's Ring goes for 4,000, then surely the Death Shield isn't worth 2,500 in my opinion. Therefore: Death Shield 2,700.
