The Events Critic Corner
Bank Auction Success!
On a recent Wednesday I decided to go to the bank and review the auction... and perhaps purchase some items! Lo and behold this event was popular as it received 30+ in attendence. Lots of bantering went on and friendly insults were traded. Nothing to hurt any one's feelings, all went well!

Cam291979 presided as the Auctioneer and her team consisted of BankStore, Loves_Wolves and Cam. This event went smoothly under their guidance. I can say I had loads of fun, traded insults with some of the best. Did I remain on top? Not sure on this, but I certainly tried! LOL

Some of the bidders who won bids were:
Fleetser who bought a dog. No, Not just any dog, but a 3 headed basalik-looking dog for Qwestor who had just come in from a bout of Bubblegum ( please note the free ad here, Qwestor, lol) This item cost the Fleetster a cool 1 mil with ten percent going to the bank! Terrgirl may have a problem with feeding it though! What if each head has different tastes...

Two of the biggest bidders were: Sylphie with a bid of 1 million and Auntie Bee's 3.1 million for a 1/10 item called Cas-A-Cow! Probably for a bbq she hopes to do in the near future! Vitual Beef, it's what's for dinner...LOL

Now on this next one here, I have to call for a bank audit on Cam as she did bid a tremendous amount of money on an item. I think on a bank teller's paycheck this was way above her means! Hmmm makes me wonder about all those travels other citizens take, the CVN slush fund...oh, there are so many...LOL

Okay other than the fact that I sold one of my cars for a cool half mil I have no other news to report at this time! Oh yeah what is my rating of this event?

Okay.... don't faint Bank crew, but in all honesty with the amount of fun and great items sold here I have to give it a
5 Star rating! *****
And there you have the rest of the story!

If I have omitted anyone or did not insult anyone with my remarks I apologize! I'll try to do better next time!LOL
