The Fortieth Bidding War has been extended!

I'm putting up a second item for this war (see big paragraph for why).

Go to my store and bid on the Coraline Antique Gold Key. (In case the other link is broken - My Store)

I've started the bidding at 0, but it can rise quickly. Quote the next post if it gets too high for you.

I'm giving a Seikai Kosode (worth 3-6k in MP) to whoever wins the war. I'll also give a prize to someone who bumps this thread. I'll use the random number feature so every bump you make is another entry. Anyone who makes a bid more than 50 gold higher then the bid before them is disqualified from prizes. Of course, an ongoing glitch is preventing me from seeing the history, so I can't enforce this rule... One rule I can enforce is that any page of bumps made by only one person will not be counted for the secondary prize. Also, starting War 40, if the bidding time on an item runs out before it hits 100 gold, another item will be put up for bid and no prizes will be given out until the end of that item's time. I want to make sure this thread is actually helping people get the achievement. Feel free to post or PM any questions!

I'll send all prizes as gifts, which will get you another achievement (somebody likes you) when you receive it.

*Proudly helping the people of Gaia earn Bidding War achievements since September 10, 2010*

Hey! Do you want the bidding history back on the marketplace items? Check out this thread: Proposal: Fix Bid History

When the current item bid time ends, I'll put up another one. If the current price is too high for you, and there's more than a week left on the auction, quote this post and I'll start the next item before this one ends.

If you click the second option in the poll, please leave a comment on why you believe the war isn't working. I've had quite a few people vote for it not working since I put up the poll, but no comments as to what was wrong.

Winners
I gauge a prize's worth on its resale value. I can't know for sure what items a person might want and I expect that most of them will be immediately sold in the MP or back to the shops. This will not in any way offend me! Giving an item is just easier and more fun than giving the gold the item is worth.

There was a glitch of some kind and the bidding history is not visible for the Holly Candle. I'm giving prizes to two Gaians who I know were very involved. If you believe you were a top bidder in this war, send me a pm before noon (central US time) May 5 to receive a prize as well. I'll give out up to 10 additional seeds.

This is a completely non-profit thread!
Donations would be greatly appreciated. I like giving away prizes that people really like, but I don't have a lot of extra gold. All donations will become prizes, bidding items, or go to pay for more prizes.

Keep biding everyone! If the bidding ends and you haven't earned the achievement, just quote this and I'll quote you back when I start the next war.

The second Bidding War has started!

Go to My Store and bid on the Plain Fluff Plushie.

I've started the bidding at 0, but it will rise quickly. See the next post if it gets too high for you.

Also, I'm giving an Deluxe Pink Daffodil - Purple Bouquet with Black Ribbon to whoever wins the bidding war. I'll also give a prize to the person who bids the most times. Keep in mind that this prize can be won by more than one person, but the prizes will be smaller, so look at the item history when you bid. One more could win you a bigger prize.

I'll send all prizes as gifts, witch will get you another achievement when you receive it.

Have at it!

nice ava
