Come on in guys!

First things first Andie, I'll take it back.

Now let's get to today's challenge.

*hands everyone an envelope containing $500*

Welcome to the Survivor Auction!

Below are a list of items all for sale that can be bid on at any time. The bidding is to be done in increments of $20, but in order to make it more fair for everyone, you may only increase a bid by $20.

So if an item's highest bid is currently at $40, and you want to place a bid, you MUST bid $60. This is so that everyone has a fair chance to get an item.

Another rule is that you can only place a bid on the same item every 30 minutes. So if you place a bid, and you immediately get outbid, you must wait 30 minutes to place an increasing bid on that item. You can, however, bid on more than one separate item simultaneously.

This will be in effect up until the last half hour of the challenge. At that point, you may bid as you please.

*If you break any of these rules your post will be deleted and the bid will not count*

When placing a bid, you must copy and paste the template below with the correct listed criteria.

---------------
Item #1: [Highest Bidder] -> [Current Bid]
Item #2: [Highest Bidder] -> [Current Bid]
Item #3: [Highest Bidder] -> [Current Bid]
Item #4: [Highest Bidder] -> [Current Bid]
Item #5: [Highest Bidder] -> [Current Bid]
---------------

So in effect you should copy the text in the post right before the one your going to post and change it as required. (That might be a bit confusing, but it makes sense in my mind, so if you have questions, just ask).

Okay! Here are the items up for sale!

----------------------
Item #1: Hidden Item
Item #2: An Advantage at the Next Immunity Challenge
Item #3: A Clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol
Item #4: Message in a Bottle (will be revealed at end of challenge)
Item #5: Hidden Item
----------------------

A little hint! One of the hidden items is immunity, the other is a dud!

Any questions?
