The auctioneer had a similar evaluation of the unit as the treasure hunters. However, he still hoped to sell it for a high price. After the viewing was over, he shouted:
”From that last unit, you guys have shown your strength, but only one person won in the end. I see that many people are unsatisfied, so let’s bring it on for the next one! Starting bid is 2,000 dollars!”
Regardless of how well he put it, the price revealed the true value of the unit. Clearly, the auctioneer felt that this unit was not even half the worth of the previous unit.
The treasure hunters felt worse about this unit than the auctioneer did. Hearing the starting bid, they began discussing:
”It’s all clothing in there. Although there are a bunch of famous brands, it’s not worth a lot.”
”I’m not bidding. Only the furniture is worth something. These second-hand clothes—how much could they even sell for?”
”Don’t even bother selling—these clothes are all outdated. They can’t keep up with the times, and brand stuff that can’t keep up with the times, aren’t brand!”
”Perhaps they could be donated to the Salvation Army. Otherwise, I don’t see any use in them.”
With the heated discussion, for a period of time, no one was bidding.
This made the auctioneer anxious. He shouted, ”2,000, 2,000, just the intricate furniture in there is worth more than 2,000 dollars!”
Hans held his chin up as he smiled; no one was bidding, so he didn’t either.
Eventually, Andrew made the move to accept it. ”Me, 2,000.”
There was still something to be made from this unit. With someone taking the lead, the other treasure hunters who were interested immediately followed: ”3,000!”
”Three thousand five hundred!”
”Four thousand!”
”Five thousand!”
With the price steadily rising, the auctioneer revealed a smile.
Andrew, instead, had an annoyed expression, and exclaimed, ”10,000 dollars!”
The treasure hunters groaned in astonishment. It was always a sight to behold for someone to bid in such a luxurious fashion.
However, it was not just Andrew who brought a lot of cash today. They didn’t dare to go near 100,000, but 10,000 dollars was easy.
”Eleven thousand!”
”Twelve thousand!”
”Thirteen thousand!”
That was when the Playboy sneakily entered the competition. ”Fifteen thousand dollars!”
Andrew gave a powerful look to the crowd and exclaimed, ”I’m putting out my final offer, fellas, I don’t want to waste anymore time here! Thirty thousand dollars!”
With the 30,000-dollar offer out, some treasure hunters that had been interested slowly backed out. The furniture could not compensate for the 30,000-dollar investment.
The Playboy smiled at Andrew and said, ”31,000 dollars!”
Hearing his offer, the corner of Andrew’s lip twitched. He glared at the Playboy and said, ”You’ve brought a lot of money today, huh?”
The Playboy smiled and said, ”If I didn’t bring enough today, I can always sell my blood and kidney. Anyway, I will be fulfilling my end of the promise—with me here today, you won’t be getting any units!”
Andrew said viciously, ”I think it’s more like money you’ve made from being a gigolo. Selling your *sshole at the gay bar? Haha, what a great business you have there, only problem is that it’s easy to get AIDS!”
