Hello everyone,
I have a cool new idea for ya'll to test out.
I am selling 10M isk in an auction. There are some special rules i would like u to respect, so here goes:
- Bidding for my 10M isk will start at 1M isk - Bidding increments are 100k isk - Sniper rule of 5 minutes
- Highest bidder will receice the 10M in exchange for the money he made in the bid - SPECIAL: 2nd Highest bidder will also pay his bid...
Bottom line is: U can make a free couple of millions.. if u play it smart. U can possibly lose something, but that's only if u play it ... eum ... well, not smart 
Let the bidding begin!

No buyout, that would spoil the think-through tactic of the 'game'

Lol, good one 
I have a special delivery service for you guys, especially made for this auction. EVE devs actually implemented this feature for my usage.
I can deliver your item ( ) anywhere, instantly. The item is immediately transferred to you, in a matter of seconds.
Hope that clears things up

Extra feature:
- 2nd highest bidder gets a consolidation prize, for losing his money:
1 special item, valued at 5-7M or more on escrow 
I'm not kidding about this stuff, i had money and items in reserve, so i wanted to do something fun with it 
just to make things a bit more attractive and fun

this is a nice solution to get easy isk. The only thing is: as bank : - when must players pay? after 1 month , 2 months , 3 months, never - who's is decide who is second? - when i offer 10 mil for 10 mil do i win? who is then the looser - when someone bid 10,1mil for 10 mil is the one that bid 10mil the looser .
:P this is a fake. but a nice way for the bank to see if there are loosers. bank pays nothing : when players dont pay.

U are right, the 10M go to the highest bidder:
Goberth Ludwig
2nd bidder: Simon Illian If he wants, he can come and collect his special item in Stacmon... on escrow for 5.6M It's a good buy imo, thanks to all other bidders

Thank you for the trust Simin Illian, my confidence in you has risen.
As you can see, even the 'loser' of the auction did win something and another friend has been made
