Kapitel 111: Winning Bid

After hearing the sweet voice of the woman at his side, Lothur noticed the thoughtful expression on her face and was surprised by her high opening bid for the Soul Bone.

"Isn't that an enormous increase, Anna? The bidding has just started, and you've already raised your bid by nine times the minimum increase amount."

She looked at him and smiled before explaining her reasons. "That's necessary. To scare off others interested in that Soul Bone, I need to show right at the start that I'm willing to spend a lot for it."

Auctions were events full of possibilities, where a product could reach prices even tens of times higher than its original value. Precisely because of this reality, people who participated in events like these had their strategies for getting items of interest without going bankrupt.

One of these strategies was to make considerable price increases right at the beginning of the offers and thereby scare off other interested parties.
