Very good reply the receptionist. Tonight's auction is a special one it is bulk auction we will sell most of the items in sets of 5 or more there may be afew singles or lower quantities but most will be higher quantities there will be no picking and choosing from lots.
You will put money on the books for the auction before it starts.
And if you go over the money that you have on the books asked Colt?

Colt and Sapienta walk in and found seats towards the back. Colt pick a spot that her can see the stage good and the entrance of the hall.
Master why did you pick this spot asked Sapienta?
For afew reasons first I have a good view of the stage that the auction will take place on said Colt. Secondly I have clear view of the main entrance and the entrance they use for the slave.
I understand reply Sapienta.
After about 30 minutes the hall was full and the auctioneer walk out onto the stage.
And when to the podium. Once he got to the podium he began speaking.
Welcome everyone to the bulk auction unlike other auctions that you only bid on one item at a time you will bidding on multiple items at a time. Some times they will be different items group together others will be all the same item. Now it is time to start.
Colt watch as the first lot was brought out. It was 5 female fox demi-human they were almost naked they have their hands cuff behind their backs , shackles on their ankles and muzzle on their faces preventing them from biting or taking.
The auctioneer started the bidding at 30 silver coins the bidding started and quickly when to 100,000 silver coins and then it started to slow down. Colt decided to bid one gold coin. Colt won the first lot. The next lot was 8 Dhampir there was 5 male and 3 female the stating bid was 10,000 silver coins Colt watch the bidding get to 20 gold coins. Once the bid big 20 gold coins no one else bided the auction call out going once going twice sold.
Sapienta look at Colt and asked master I thought we came to the auction to buy all the slaves but that lot you never bidded on.
That not completely true reply Colt.
I did come here to buy slaves but if I bought all the slaves it will make the prices to go up and make it more profitable to be a slaver. But if I continue to buy slaves and work to make slavery illegal in different kingdom and empires will make it harder and harder on slave traders and hopefully some quit.
But in the kingdom that continues to allow slavery will it not make the prices go up asked Sapienta.
It will but if you make it too hard to get new slaves it will slowly become too expensive to buy a slave so only the most wealthy will be able to get a slave unlike now. If you have afew copper coins you can get one reply Colt.
I understand reply Sapienta.
The next lot was now on the stage it was 12 dwarfs 7 female and 5 male the starting bid was 20,000 copper coins. The bidding was slow it when to 500,000 copper coins then stop the auctioneer began with the closing going once going twice before he said sold Colt make a bid for 550,000 copper.
