The bidding was simple, and fairly informal; the bidder raises their hand, and calls out their bid, until the bidding stops, and the auctioneer accepts the bid, payment being made at the end of the entire auction. Only three of the present people were representing themselves; six were in the employ of another, allowing him to identify the individuals responsible, while the remaining three were factors from a firm, representing the interests of a client they were not aware of, themselves, and thus Draiss couldn't identify the responsible party. Of the nine there, seven represented fairly minor folks, including a notable thief, and a traveling merchant, based out of here, and the three actually present were the least wealthy; two had come solely for one purchase, one which had already been made.<br/><br/>The prices were fairly steep; bidding beginning at 100gp, and increasing. The lizardfolk would likely be going for small amounts, but the elves and furred girls who had already been sold earlier had gone for over a thousand, and at this point in the auction, only the best remained.
