"100 gold coins," shouted one of the guests.
"I counter with 120 gold!"
"130….."
The bidding went on and on until a bid of 700 gold coins won the chest.
Normally, the price wouldn't be propelled up this much since one could just assume they can settle for another chest, but in this scenario, how sure were they that they would get the other chest?
The number of chests was finite while the number of guests surpassed that by a large margin.
Hence, the average bid for a chest of dragontail was around 700 gold coins. Some went further to bid 900 gold coins, but it was rare.
Yet, by the time the auction was done, Kimon understood that he was rich.
Moreover, it wasn't like Starhold wouldn't be seeing his dragontail anytime soon. They would be!
