'Without question, so long as the other bidders dare go that high.'
Eeole's immediate answer sent chills down Oli's spine.
'However, we can make do without it. I have some items on my person that should make due in addition to what you have on hand…' added Eeole.

All three of the other offers faded but a new offer popped up from the very first bidder.
