Some Ground rules!

For any of you fine folks that haven't been part of a good Ol' Fashion Marketplace Auction before here's the short and long of it. Long and short? Meh, Whatever.

Every item starts at the same amount: 1000g
To bid on any of our items, use this form. Bids with out the formal paper work will be disregarded.

This form:

[SIZE="6"][B][COLOR="DarkOrange"]Enthusiastically raises arm! [/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
[B]Lot number:[/B] (Lot numbers will be listed under each item)
[B]My Bid:[/B] (What you're currently willing to part with)
[B]Maximum Amount:[/B] (This is not a necessary field, in fact it would amuse me greatly if you were to put something silly and intangible here. However if you wish to forgo the fun part of any auction and are willing to part with a bajillionty gold for it. This will give others an idea of where you stand. )
[B]Send it to: [/B](Your main, An off shore mule account or perhaps a gift for a close friend?) *valuable info for the final bids

Should look like:

Enthusiastically raises arm!
Lot number: 10055
My Bid: 2 halfpennies
Maximum Amount: 4 halfpennies
Send it to: A sketchy basement apartment in New York City.
To place a higher bid: Simply refile another form in a greater amount than the last highest bidder. Or if you're looking to cut to the chase for a much desired item. . .
I encourage you to fill in the optional part of the form that states the highest you're willing to go on a certain item. I do respect the bargain hunter, but charity auctions are nary the place for penny pinching. As the final gold amount will later be distributed towards charities, please be generous in your acquiring.
I favor attentive bidders. However, I do no hold myself to the same standards, especially if any attractive young ladies catch my eye on the beach and want to chat. When you're the only Auctioneer in town, you can do these things. I jest. Mostly.
Minimum Bid increase amount: 250 g
I will not tolerate "snipers". Although the auctions will go until the very end of the event, MAKE SURE you have Bid at least once on any items you're interested in. All last day bidding will be between those that have bid in the first six days. If, for some reason you waited until the last day to fill out the forms, you'll be sadly out of luck my friend.

Let's take another look at these beauties.

Oh, yes. Very Good! I can see your fingers are itching to get a hold of these items already. I could ramble on about the rarity and quality of each one until you die from Antisi-
