Nope you explained it.. in real life I though the $1,000 was a bit low considering we are all wealthy .. these 'play things' have been kidnapped and brought here from various places.. I would have thought 100,000 would be closer ... but it does not matter if $100,000 or $1,000 just as long as all the buyers have the same amount and no more no less to use for this initial auction to keep it fair and even the $$$ limit is a way to me to keep one person from trying to acquire all the slaves, *chuckles*<br/><br/>Thanks Aurelie and I see one buyer has raised a panel but put no $$ referring to 'Raul's' (shplade post) do we want to start the bidding now? wait until our host of the threads 'ivygrowth' tell us bidding has started? go in and modify the posts we made with ... choices and add $$... thing is with the ability to edit.. personally would like to see the 1st slave brought up and auctioned... and then we bid.. until either the 'auction master' says auction is closed or something.. might seem tedious but... tis the way an auction is done is it not?<br/><br/>Just some thoughts, mutterinngs and questions...<br/><br/>Rog
