MRT Auction (OFF!)

Post by MaxH »

*** MRT Auction ***
Image
That's right people. We found an MRT in a garage in SO City that nobody was using, and nobody claimed it, and we know that you all like it, so we figure we'd auction it out to you. Since its not every day this happens (and god knows if its gonna happen again!) we've done it a added a little intriguing twist to the auction: While we only have one prize, the lovely MRT, both the highest bidder and the second highest bidder must pay their bid. Neat, ey! (Believe me, the MRT is nice once you learn to handle the hand brake. Cops wont catch you easily. But don't tell them i said this!)

*** Auction details ***
  • Auction starts now.
  • Bids are given in this thread. All bids entered are binding. Meaning, once placed, they are placed.
  • Bids has to be in whole 1000's or the bids are invalid.
  • Persons who already own one MRT can not participate in the auction.
  • Editing posts is forbidden - that takes you out of the auction.
  • Auction ends in two weeks; the 19th of February 2009 at 2300 CET. (forum post clock decides if a bid are late)
  • When the auction ends both the highest bidder and the second highest bidder must pay their highest bid within 24hours of the auction end. Payments are done in ingame-euros. If payment arent done, the amount is forcely drawn from their account and winner is given MRT (and image what happens if its below 10000...).
  • Highest bidder and second highest bidder have 24h to pay the bid after the auction ends.
  • When the auction ends the highest bidder gets one MRT on his account after paying his highest bid.
  • To ensure fair play in the auction, the MRT may NOT be transferred to another person during the closest four months of the auction's end. The winner gets it and the winner enjoys it.
Sounds fun? Well go ahead and bid. The MRT can be yours in two weeks!
(Please refrain from discussion in this thread, only bids here please.)

For those wondering, your bid has to be higher than the current highest bid.

Once you have made a bid there is no going back!

If you place a bid and down have the money you will have to make it somehow.

Be careful!
