Li Du bid again, and the last collector who had bid $1,042 breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, most of the people who had initially been interested in the storage unit lost interest after they looked at it. Even if some of them were still interested, they didn't want to pay more than $1,000 for it.
Conrad's offer of $1,000 had discouraged the other treasure hunters from bidding, and after a small price increase, it was left to him and Li Du.
After Li Du offered $1,100, Conrad immediately raised his price by a large margin. "Two thousand dollars." His bid made the treasure hunters curious, with some crowding to the door and looking in, wondering, "What's in it that's worth so much money?"
Li Du knew that the stuff in this storage unit was not valuable, and Conrad did not really want it. He just saw Li Du's offer, guessed that he was interested in the storage unit, and deliberately did this to disgust him.
