NationStates Jolt Archive

The government of the Dutch Democratic Republic is privatising, and because of this we need to sell excess government assets. This is your opportunity to gain great riches at cheap prizes.

All nations (but especially Scandavian States) are encouraged to come. Bid high, bid often!

First item on the list is a cardboard box with hole large enough for a hand to fit through. We aren’t saying what is in it, but it is sure to be valuable!

LET THE BIDDING BEGIN!

Santa Barbara will gladly bid $503,402,513,155,505,300.01 for it, whatever it is!

That looks like a suspiciously Clanger-sized box...
If it so much as whistles a note we'll have to claim it.
Otherwise, enjoy the frenzy of idiotic bidding.

The Abysmal Country of Abysmalistan bids 5*10^18 TIYs. You're right, that's a 5 with 18 zeroes.

Current exchange rate: 4,490,272,435,191.4902 totally inflated yens = $1 but inflation rate in Abysmalistan is high with a big H so expect it to be worth nothing when the bidding ends

I'll bid one strand of hair.

OOC: We don't intend to buy, but the comment about SS was quite funny. We were going to stop bidding, until the bid coalition came up, where four nations are sharing the burden. But SS... he just keeps going!

To understand that, you have to have read another thread. Knootoss knows what I am talking about, though.

One Million Dollars!

We will bid one jar of human toenail clippings that were blessed by three buddhist monks, one catholic priest, one hindu yogi, and a priest of the jaojism faith.

The Nation of Everything New will give you one identical box to the one you're selling...does yours contain a bomb too?

One Million Dollars!

Why make billions when you can make millions? *pinky to mouth*

A barrel of oil made from reconstituted Aryan PoWs from Greece and Cyprus better known as "White Oil".

All these bids are very interesting, but irrelevant since Santa Barbara has wanked up the highest number.

Sure, you can make interesting offers, but the person who posts the biggest amount of "money" wins! Creativity is unimportant when you can use big numbers!

((Seriously though... appreciate the creativity. :P ))

I bid

200million combat inhancement pills
+
7 billion

how does inhancement work?

1 Measly US Dollar...

I bid

200million combat inhancement pills
+
7 billion

Ha! That's nothing...
We can inhance, enhance, unhance, rehance, superhance and transultracryonetically-hance, all in one pill.

We offer a billion of those, and you get a nifty waffle iron too.

How about an entire paradise planet, filled with everything you have and everything you ever wanted and more besides?

Does this planet feature naked women?

Whatever you want...

Although, I do believe there are several nude beaches :wink: ...
I'm joking

Joking? Does this mean that there is no planet? :cry:

There could be :wink:

There is a reason why I created the Caladan World Corporation...

Delivering Paradise to Those Who Need it Most

Caladan World Corporation

Okay... the current highest bid stands at 1 paradise planet.

Anyone willing to improve on that bid?

((To wrap this up))

Going once! Going twice! Sooold to Five Civilized Nations for one paradise world. Congratulations.

*hands you the box*

What's in it!?!

The box contains

-Some old clothes
-Little bits of chewing gum
-A Pink Bunny Cola can
-A long-lost voucher for 'one paradise planet, to be delivered to the owner of this voucher upon discovery', hidden somewhere between the old clothes.
