Wow. I’m surprised by this. Please make sure we all have time to participate in the redistribution.

**Auction Details :

Chrisk will be facilitating a silent bid auction for the items Gadarene still holds.**

Gadarene
Holds rules: 3, 10, 12, 13, 16, 18
And holds these items: 1 Pink Rose, 2 White Rose, 1 Gold Necklace, 1 Pink Conversation Heart, 6 Red Conversation Heart, 1 White Conversation Heart

Send a PM to Chrisk indicating any auction ‘lots’ that you are interested in, and how many points you wish to spend on each, for instance:

I’ll bid 4 points for a white rose,
2 points each for up to 5 red hearts,
7 points for rule 3,
and 8 points for the gold necklace.

etc.

**Auction will end TOMORROW at 5:30 pm EST **

I’ve already gotten some bids in.

One note of clarification. This is a blind auction, and there is no auto-increment logic like you’d have in an ebay auction. Therefore, if the high bidder bids 20 for a particular item, and the next highest bidder was 4, the winner still pays 20 points in an IOU.

And in any case where Gadarene’s estate holds more than one of the same type of item, for instance the red conversation hearts, do let me know how many of them you’re interested in bidding on, and if the bid will change after you win a certain number.

Thanks everybody, and I’ll let you know when the results are in!

I’ve sent in my bid but I just want to say that I don’t like these auctions we do one almost every game and it seems that one person comes out way ahead of the field every time.

Hopefully this will be different.

I agree, but I guess it is necessary.

Well, almost every time at least one player can’t hack the Haggle. Can you think of a better way to keep the dropouts from locking up the game?

One more clarification - each item will be auctioned off seperately. Any bids that are for more than one item, for instance, specifying a single price for ‘both white roses’, will be disregarded if not followed by a clarification in terms of how to bid on the seperate items.

No, I can’t and I realize why you guys do it but it’s frustrating as a player. I don’t know anything about how you’ve designed the game but I wonder how locking the items would affect things or if we can make this a regular thing maybe we could have sub list where they can step in and take over for a player.

I don’t mean it a a complaint at you and Meeko and I hope you don’t take it that way since I can only imagine how hard you guys have to work to keep up.

I feel like things have gotten a bit log jammed. Is there anyone who wants to propose a trade with me?

Also known as “first price sealed bid.” </econ453>

I’m going to catch up tonight. I feel like I’m behind, and I feel like NAF is overwhelming my efforts. Oh well, at least I don’t have to keep up to date with 30 pages of stuff like in Mafia.

NAF offer Ben000 - I will trade you my two red conversation hearts for your two white roses.

You know what the value of roses are for you now, so this is a good deal all around I think.

Accept Naf’s Ben000.

Now, see, this is what I Thought the game would go like, I would see an offer, I would see an acceptance, and I would be able to pounce.

Antinor, any hope you will accept my trade for you necklace? It’s been awhile, now.
