Elias singlehandedly won all nine items placed for auctions.
After the fourth item emerged, the bidders no longer competed with Elias over the items, seemingly deterred by his boundless wealth. Thus, to Elias's disappointment, he had no one to bid against. This forced him to multiply the starting bid of each item by four so he could gain a sizeable amount after each cashback.
