Due to some odd scheduling of life... I will be delaying today's update for a little while... The next update will come Friday. This is a three day weekend in the US (for about 20%) of the population (Columbus Day Weekend) and even though I work on Monday, I have some family taking advantage of the weekend to visit with my ailing Grandfather so I am headed back to Camp Hill, PA and will likely be away from an online PC for a good part of the weekend.

Just keep bidding...

Next Update: Friday, October 6th
Next Update: Monday, October 9th

You bet! 20 is a great round number. You have 45000 gold pieces. If you're not sure how it works just go back a few pages and read the bids... Also, see Post#1 for all previous sales.

As DL said, you will need to win one of the remaining 11 items before the last lot to take part in the Final lot...

In fact, you could raise every item right now. You have the cash to cover that.

Well, you simply make a bid for the artefacts in the auction, and try to outsmart the others in your bidding. You have 45.000 gold at your disposal since you joined so late in the game. Have a look at the auctioneer's (gravyluvr's) posts, as he updates the active bids. :)

I think the bid is invalid and since the lot is closed the item should fall back to the previous bidder, namely moi.

I've actually been awaiting the lot's closure for some time, all the while knowing that you bid one too little. :D
