Saw it in a marvel comic just now, and i remembered you already used it. Wikiquote just has it in "American Sayings". I should have checked there first.

I only have Breeze at 2500 as a typo. No need to take all of Vhilhu's cash at this point. Welcome! Two items have sold in the 14th Lot, including quite a deal on the Armor of Chaos for TT and Milla's got her robe! You have to hit that three times :yummy:

Lot #1 and the cashflow has now been updated through Lot#13 (minus the breeze). We have 19 unique winning biddders... Lot# 14 is the last lot for new bidders. For this reason and this reason only, I am holding off on opening the final lot.

Everyone involved in the Auction has a current "credit" of 45,000 gold pieces (each) :D except the auctioneer :( And... (THESE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN READJUSTED)
a55a55in=1480, DaemianLucifer=2899, Kalah=5940, Pepak=6190, wimfrits=7510, Vlad976=8000, Sir William S Titan=8785, ThunderTitan=9040, stefan.urlus=9150, Pitsu=14800, Milla aka. The Slayer=18900, Echo_=19074, Orfinn=21400, Gaidal Cain=24000, Fyl=27150, mytical=32000, Banedon=34500, Tao Jones=43560, and I_Dun_Hat3_CT=48500 (Cashflow includes Lots 1-13 and all the Bonuses!)

Bids begin and go in minimal increments of 25 (Treasure and Item), 50 (Minor), 100 (Major), and 200 (Relic). Please offer or raise more than the minimum.

Lot #13 is Breezing!!!

;| 13th Lot (item, type, placement, description, bidder, current bid)

:beg: Breeze, Minor, Left Hand, Increases a hero's scouting radius by 2. Only appears in the "Elwin and Shaera" campaign; can be inserted into user-made maps, Vhilhu, 2500

:up: Ankh of Life, Minor, Neck, Increases the hero's Resurrection skill by 5% if the hero has the skill. Otherwise, it acts as the Basic Resurrection skill, Sir William S Titan, 1500

:applause: Robe of the Guardian, Major, Shoulders, The hero is immune to the damage taken from the first 3 attacks of each combat, Milla aka. the Slayer, 15000 (Ladies Cut)

Change of plan! Lot #15 (The Last Lot) will now open once Lot #14 closes. Keep those mouth's watering...

Well, he's always free to reinstate his 25000 bid for breeze, if he chooses.

Is this before or after i got the Chaos Armor?!

And how much money are we supposed to have if we didn't buy anything?! Coz I_Dun_Hat3_CT=48500 is more then the 45k claimed in the auction post. Is it 50k?!

The cashflow includes Lots 1-13 (except Breeze).

Check Post #1 for your items purchased. Add 5000 (once) if you bought something in Lots 1-6. Add 5000 (once) if you bought something from Lots 7-12.

$45000 + 5000 (1-6 bonus) + 5000 (7-12 bonus) - All Items Purchased.

1, Wand of Weakness, 200
1, Amulet of Fear, 3500
3, Crystal Figurine, 1650
5, Halberd of the Swiftwatch, 15150
7, Wand of Animating Dead, 1000
7, Master's Spellbook, 1100
8, Valder's Crossbow of Sloth, 9999
10, Wand of Fire, 3100
12, Greatsword, 691
12, Tome of Order, 6100
12, Ring of Health, 5000

55000-47490= 7510

Sorry wimfrits... it's right. My formula was bad and had not been counting Lot #12 or 13 items.

Check your own and PM if you think I'm wrong. I obviously can and have made mistakes, but I think we are now current.

PS: Next update tomorrow.
