When 9:30 caan This time, the auctioneer actually spoke at a normal speed: ”Very well everybody, let's all line up There's a total of nine units being auctioned this ti!”

Because smaller units couldn't hold many items, the first one had an initial bid of 50 dollars After a close competition between two people, it sold for 80 dollars

The second unit also sold quite cheap, but Li Du didn't bid since the only thing of worth in there was a television However, since the model was already quite old, it wasn't worth the effort

The third storage unit sold for 100 dollars, and so they caood items in this one, so Li Du raised his eyebrows to Hans while co as it stays under 500 dollars, we should be able to profit”

He didn't want to outright show his interest, so he quickly swept the storage unit with his eyes before walking away His disinterest ht throw the others off of the units value

On the cases were a bunch of newspapers and azines They were quite normal—in other words, quite useless—so he only shook his head and began to retrieve the little bug

However, just as the little bug went through one of the bookcases, he caught a gliuided the little bug in for a closer look

The bookcase itself was of the older variety, and within the cracks were a bunch of sraphics of sports stars such as Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, and Carl Lewis However, as the stamps were all American ones, he really couldn't place their value

Just as he was exaot a call from Hans, so he quietly returned to the auction square
