HI-Low Auction

Here’s an unusual auction! There will be an item up for auction and you get to bid, but the twist is I will be randomizing what the winning bid will be.

Rules and How to Play!

You can only enter for yourself. You can bid as many times as you want but it has to be the same currency. You can't bid GM and then SM, if you up your bid from the initial bid (GM) you must continue in GM.

The entry fee is to feed my pet during that day any food +10 or higher, depending on who my greeter is.

There will be one of 8 options to bid with.
The top Gold Mole bidder
The low Gold Mole bidder.
The top Silver Mole bidder.
The low silver mole bidder
The top Frank N Cents bidder
The low Frank N Cents bidder
The low Platinum Paws bidder
The top Platinum Paws bidder

Once you place your bid, when I call “quits” I will randomize what formula we’ll use to decide the winner
In the event of two people bidding the same top/bottom bid, I will use the time-stamp of who posted first to break the tie.

Example:
Diane puts up a Full Size Drink.
Heather bids one silver mole.
Kathy bids 100 silver moles.
Iben bids one golden mole.
Kris bids 10 golden moles.
Sue bids +1 Fnc to feed.
Lisa bids +10,000 Fnc to feed

Diane calls quits, randomizes the 6 choices.

The winning “bid” is HIghest silver moles. That means Kathy would win the drink for 100 silver moles.

So essentially you never know if you are going to be the winning bid with a high bid or low bid!
You might get the deal of the century OR you might have a bargain.

Also, you may bid more than a Jack Spaniels feeding, stretching it over however many days needed.

Ask any questions you need!

Remember no bids for friends, only you bid!

I will close the bidding once I have time to randomize and deliver. Summer hours are never consistent!

Have fun!

Just a question
Are you allowed only one bid?
oops just reread info this has also been answered

Yes per item up for bid. As soon as one item is done, bidding will start fresh over for the new item.

What if there is a tie?

Time stamp on who posted first will be used.

so, I place a bid and then send you what I bid? not sure I understand and do I copy and paste on here?

You fed Squirt one Chocolate Box 1!
He rates this food +10.
"Lettuce gather around and nibble these tasty treats!"
You score + 10 and so does Squirt.

Would like to bid 100GMs.

after reading this a couple of times to make sure I understand how this works, i found the answer to your question:

The entry fee is to feed my pet during that day any food +10 or higher, depending on who my greeter is.

i hope this helps

Deb, no, you only send what you bid if you win the auction.
