Actually, Gravy could hand out so it's a round 800 000 and then rescale it if he really wants it to be a million. No point to overinflate the objects in the last lot.

Some of you will love how I do this... Some of you may not...

Keep in mind. You should all have at least the money that you have thanks to cashflow.

We spent 676,443 in Lots 1-13.

I will subtract money spent and cashflow from register bidders from the one million gold pieces to determine how many gold pieces will be given out as the final bonus. I have come up with ten different bonuses from the rest of the auction however I may not choose to use all ten bonuses. The final lot should begin in about a week as long as we don't end up Breezing this last lot.
