*You see a clean parchment posted on a board in your travels*

Oi' d'ere!

De High Lord o' Economics, Balthar Blackaxe, be organizin' an auction fer all peoples of all races. De' rule is simple! We sell our goods, and any lads wishin' to stop by can bid fer d'ere goods. An example of an auction goes like dis...

Auction Leader: Next up, George Pantaloons!

George Pantaloons: Sellin' Gold! Starting price: 100 minas, increase bids by 25!

Bidder 1: 125!

Bidder 2: 175!

Bidder 1: 225!

Bidder 3: 300!

Mr Pantaloons: Can anyone beat 300...?

Bidder 1: 350!

Mr Pantaloons: Goin' once, goin' twice....Sold to the fine Bidder 1!

Bidder 1: Aye!

It's a lovely system, aye. Ye can eidder stop by, or reserve a slot in de' auction if ye' wish to sell yer goods. Best deals fer both sides can be found 'ere!

To avoid people high biddin' just to cause ruckus, we 'ave hired a combination of Dwarven Legion-men n' Mercenaries to enforce de' rule det wut ye' bid is wut ye' pay. Failure to acknowledge yer bid will result in punishment.

Dis Auction'll take place in Kal'Karik, de' Dwarven Capital, in de Tradin' District. (This Sunday, 2/12 2:30 pm EST). It'll go on fer de amount of slots purchased.

We need both people to auction, n' people to be bidders! Udderwise we can't run it. Post 'ere if ye' wish to eidder or just visit de auction, we need to meet a certain quota to make dis auction wurt' it fer everyone.

It cost money to enter n' bid, t'ough. So remember to bring fund on ye' to buy a ticket to enter de' show!

Send me a bird (PM on forums) if ye' got any questions, offers, comments or concerns!

It cost 25 minas to reserve a ticket if you are NOT an auctioneer! If ye' plan to auction yer goods, contact me so we can negotiate wut de price'll be. Tickets by the door will be 50 minas. (So 35 if you reserve your ticket through PM, or 50 if you just walk in)

If yer a bidder, bring at least 1000 minas, so we know ye' serious bout de auction n' not just d'ere to cause trouble.
