"Points' Pilfered & Purloined Products & Praut’s Pious Properties Proudly Present..."
The Second Anniversary 1 Gold Piece Live Auction!!!
On Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving, Master Rogue Points DeWay and Fighter/Paladin Praut Ektor will be holding a 1 gold minimum bid auction for items from their personal collections.

Items will include:
Weapons: (Paralyzers, Disruptors, Smiters, Vorpals, Stat damagers, etc.),
Armor: (+5 Mithral Tower Shield, +5 Mithril Chain, etc.),
Clothing: (Greater False Life items, +6 Stat items, etc.)
Jewelry/Trinkets/Tomes (+1 and +2)
And Unique Items (Muck Doom! Ring of Shadows! Ring of Spell Storing!)

Go to (the auction thread) for pictures and descriptions of items up for bid.
All for the starting bid of 1 gold piece! Payment is required at time of auction. Winners incapable of payment will be disallowed from further bids.

To participate, come to the Lordsmarch bank at the appointed time, register for door prizes, join the Auction channel by typing ‘/joinchannel Auction1’ and when bidding opens use /Auction1 (or the appropriate shortcut /1, /2, etc. for that channel) with your bid. Bids will only be accepted through the Chat channel.

Bidding will continue on each item until the auctioneer believes bidding to have reached it’s limit to which he will call out ‘going once…’, ‘going twice…’, ‘GONE!’ Bids interrupting these calls will be considered after demonstrated proof of a valid bid (open a trade window and show the auctioneer that you have the funds to win said bid.).

Points, Praut and this event are not sponsored by Turbine or any other commercial entity. The Auctioneer’s judgments are final. Participation is on an ‘at will’ basis and completely voluntary.

Here’s a few frequently asked questions answered by Points himself:

Where did he get all of this stuff?
‘Oh here and there… if you recognize anything as yours, we’ll give you a discount.’

Why is he doing this?
‘Honestly, to clear out some bank space. People have been kind enough to hold on to some of my things over the years, but it has gotten to be too much. So I am giving back to the community who has given me so much.’

Surely you are not auctioning off a Ring of Spell Storing for a gold piece?
“I certainly hope not, but that is where we are starting the bidding and don’t call me Shirley’.

Are you a Plat Farmer?
“Absolutely not! I have been a member of the role-playing community for two years now and I’m proud to say I have helped run events and give away loot to help others have fun in the world I love so much. I am happy to see the decline of Plat Farmers in this game and hope to see a robust commerce begin again between regular people like you and I. Besides, would a Plat Farmer sell a Muck Doom for one gold piece?”
