Vic Power 0.55 for 0.5 to mantlefan (only bid)
[/quote:e781ed5d60]

Vic Power's highest priced card is $2.90. the .50 bid is still valid, but the capology should be revised.

Well... not so fast....

I made the decision to disallow Wilson and Bagwell based on the rules we've used in all *previous* auctions which stated simply is that invalid bids are tossed. Done. See ya. Except in this case win, lose, or draw, an entire bid sheet is affected by the errors. So a case can (and was) made that all who made errors ought to have their lists completely invalidated. And that's too much....

So that this is not all previous auctions but rather the first time we've tried *this* type of auction and all of its new challenges, I will go ahead and allow Frank Bailey to take Bagwell and ironwill can have Wilson.[/quote:8c41f744ef]

checking in once more now that I am home (sleep is over rated) and saw this change.

So I assume ironwill gets Willie Wilson at 0.5, but if Frank gets Bagwell, what price does he pay? he bid 1.12 but he minimum should have been 1.16 (I will put it in at 1.16 for now and can edit it later if that is changed)

:?

please clarify

Bobby Clark's 79 card goes for $.96.

That concludes my review of existing cards.

It's like being the cook when we were kids out camping. First person that complained about the food took over the KP duties. :wink: :D 8-)

We appreciate your willingness to tackle the job.

Agreed.

The level of complexity of processing this draft makes the auctioneering difficult and any compliance check difficult as well.

You're doing very well and we appreciate your efforts.
