That's right. Moontian's auctioning off most of its aircraft, thanks to a major shake-up in the military. All aircraft come fully armed and fueled, and will be sold off in squadrons of 20. Production rights will also be sold for each type.

The aircraft that will be sold are:
the 2000E Eurofighter
the F-117A Nighthawk
the B-2 Spirit
the B-52H Stratofortress
the Black Hawk
the Sea Hawk

More than 80,000 aircraft MUST GO!

These are aircraft most nations know about, and many use.

Bidding starts at 1 million belles per squadron (US$800,000)

First off is a squadron of Black Hawks.

Don't be shy now. This auction will continue until all aircraft are sold. As of right now, there are 3518 squadrons of Black Hawks, ready to be sent to your air force.

How many are in a squadran I will take 1000 squadrans.

I'll buy 2 squadrons of Eurofighters, 2 squadrons of F-117s and 10 squadrons of Black-Hawks

Firstly, there are 20 planes/helicopters in each squadron.

Secondly, this is an auction. Place your bids. I'll help keep this thread alive until every plane and helicopter is sold.

Thirdly, the Black Hawks are the first class to be auctioned. the starting bid is very low, someone might get a bit of a bargain.

<tag>

I want those Sea Hawks

I bid 800,000 on the sqadron

Are the Sea Hawks a troop transport, or capable of it?

good, the opening bid. Are there any more bids?

Yes, the Sea Hawks are capable of transporting troops. They were used primarily for rescue operations.

Are there any more bids? US$800,000 is extremely cheap for twenty Black Hawks.

$US2 million for the Black Hawks

OOC
They are worth $US 14 million each

81,000 Harem-grade slavegirls (approx. US$ 810,000) for some blackhawks. Although I would like to point out that we are mainly intrested in the Stratofortresses. Can they be modified to carry Class 3 biohazard material prior to shipment? If so, then we are quite willing to pay top dollar, or possibly give you a stake in SpeedyPizza, one of the most established Pizza services around today?

Goit, you've been out-bid by Jerusalem, and Moontian is a respectable nation, founded on the premise of freedom for all. Thus slavery is abhorrent to my country. Unless the harem-grade slavegirl is your national currency, it will not be taken at this auction.

Yes, all aircraft can be modified prior to delivery, provided these modifications are relatively minor, such as the provision of equipment for transporting biohazard materials.

$2.25M for the Blackhawk's

80,000+ aircraft in 20 unit lots is like 4,000 Squadrons.....

How many of each...do u have...I'll buy the entire Blackhawk's Group for $3M each craft

I'm estimating 12000+

So my bid of 3M x 12,000 = $36B

I Bid $36B for the entire allotment of Blackhawk's....estimated @ 12,000+

300,000 Harem-grade Slavegirls (3 million US)! And a stake of 0.5% in SpeedyPizza if you close the Blackhawk auction now.

Goit has, for its long, grand history, accepted slaves as its national currency. All citizens must do their part. The men work, the women are currency. The cost of printing and verification of notes this saves is astronomical. The slavegirls are, naturally, variable in value dependant on thier beauty and intellect. The Harem-grade is our most expensive denomination.

Verboten Lufftewaffe, if you look up higher in the thread, I said that there are 3518 squadrons of Black Hawks. That makes 70,360 helicopters.

The best offer so far is Verboten Lufftewaffe's of US$3 million per helicopter. They don't have to all go to the one nation, they can be split up in squadrons if need be.

I will pay 500 million for 100 Blaxkhawks and more to about 600 million for 100 Seahawks. Money will be wired now.

*Money wired*

I've bid 3 million per helecopter too. And some shares. I'll just take two squadrons though.. mainly for the Police's Rapid Crime Deterrent Unit (RCDU - "stopping crime before it starts").

Whoops my bad.....Ok the Region/Nations of the Federated Suns wishes to re state their bid for the Blackhawks and now offers $100B for the entire 70,000+ aircraft....I do have the $$$ my regional military budget is $1T

And if i can't get them in 1 lot...i up my prior bid to $3.15M per......

OOC

Got to bid ... eBAY habit!

IC

We raise to 5 million per Blackhawk (only one squadron of 20 required, everyone else can fight over the others)

well, it looks like this auction's heated up. The high offer is US$5 million per helicopter, but for only one squadron for Jeruselem, and 5 squadrons for Aamerricaaa. US$3 million is the second highest, shared by Goit, for only 2 squadrons, and Verboten Lufftewaffe, for everything else. Remember, these choppers come in fully armed and fueled when delivered.

350,000 Harem-class per Blackhawk, and some time share properties in the lovely southern goit town of Goober.

ahhhh bidding war.....see your $5M per and raise mine to $5.01M...Gonna buy'em 1 squadron @ a time if necessary.....Anyone wanna invest in a parnership and buy BH's....We'll split'em

6 million per Blackhawk for the two squadrons, as long as they come with a suitably angry-looking pilot.

We bid $650 million for 100 Seahawks.
$7.5 million per Blackhawk.
$5 million per B-2 Spirit

7 million per Blackhawk (still 1 squadron).
Still 50% of full price.

$7.55M per...........Hey Jerusalem wanna go dutch on a coupla squadrons...50/50....

$7.55M per...........Hey Jerusalem wanna go dutch on a coupla squadrons...50/50....

Might be a better idea for us. Don't bid above 14 million though. We might increase the number of squadrons. We'd prefer lower of course.

I will take 10 of each!

$7.55M per...........Hey Jerusalem wanna go dutch on a coupla squadrons...50/50....

Might be a better idea for us. Don't bid above 14 million though. We might increase the number of squadrons. We'd prefer lower of course.


Ok you do the bidding..i'll cover half of the bid...

7.60 million per Blackhawk on behalf of me and Verboten Lufftewaffe for any not allocated to other nations.

6 million per Blackhawk for the two squadrons, as long as they come with a suitably angry-looking pilot.

Goit, they come ready for battle, except they don't have pilots. Why would Moontian soldiers fly for another country without orders from me?

The high bid is US$7.6 million per helicopter

Of Bulgaria-Malta, the aircraft come in squadrons of 20, and the bids are only for the black hawks right now. We will get to the Sea hawks and jets after this auction finishes.

Law2K, I need to know how many squadrons you're buying. There are 3518 to be sold.

Verboten Lufftewaffe, your offer is still the base for everyone else. All squadrons not picked up by anyone else is yours, and it looks like plenty are going to you anyway.

Due to the response received so far, the ausction for the Black Hawks will run for another 15 hours. Then comes the Eurofighters.

ok...let me know what i owe after Jerusalem & I split our bid...then i''ll cover rest....

We would be looking at purchsing 10 squadrons of Blackhawks at $7.65 million dollars each.

i bidd $800 billion for 50 squadrons of black hawks

But you don't have 800 billion to bid

4555555555 rings for 20 squadrons!

As everyone seems to be buiding for everthing I might as well so
$33 billion for the B-2s

10 squadrons of Blackhawks at $7.65 million dollars each

Bah. Screw this bidding. I just bought 2000 Seahawks for 20000000000 USD... A good deal.

Sorry I was called away for a day. The bidding for the Black Hawks has been finished. The high bids are:
Wazican: 10 squadrons @ $10 million per helicopter
Law2K: 10 squadrons @ $7.65 million per helicopter
Jeruselem & Verboten Lufftewaffe: 3498 squadrons @ $7.6 million per helicopter.

The money owed is:
Wazican: $2 billion
Law2K: $1.53 billion
Jeruselem & Verboten Lufftewaffe: $531.696 billion

Next are the Eurofighters. There are only 495 squadrons available, but everything must go, just like the Black Hawks. Everything is second-hand, but in good working order, all maintenance current, and they are ready for battle, armed and fueled.

The high bid so far is:
The Zoogie People: 20 squadrons @ $35 million per plane

People, please be patient. Bidding will start on the other aircraft in time. Please place your bids in US$. I will only accept US$ or Moontian Belles, which are pegged at 1 belle = 80 US cents.

Are there any more bids for the Eurofighters? There are a total of 9900 to be sold, and they must go.

56 million dollars on the B2

Jerusalem & me only teamed up for 2 of the squadrons....I'm taking the rest......Hell i'll pay the whole thing.....Jerusalem can contact me for his cut.....**Payment wired via offshore accounts... :roll: What you think i have that much cash just laying around... :wink: 69,960 Blackhawks...DAMNNNNNNN

Thank you for your payment.

Black Hawks have been part of the defence forces almost from the beginning, and the army was very happy to use them, but now their time has passed here in Moontian, as we boldly step up the ladder to the next rung of technology level.

Back to the auction, are there any more bids for the Eurofighters? Scrapping 475 squadrons of planes is not a happy prospect.

Any more bids?

If there are no more bids, I'll just put the Eurofighters to the end of the line, but the bids are still valid.

Next up are the B-2's. There aren't many squadrons of them, only 47 available.

3 Squadrons. 25 million a plane. Maybe thats cheap, but I saw Broken Arrow... if John Travolta can crash one, they can't be that good.

Goit, your bid has been acknowledged. Eriopia's bid is ambiguous, and so will not be accepted until he states the number of squadrons he wants to purchase.

There are a total of 940 B-2's waiting to be delivered, all fully armed and fueled.

I'LL PAY ALL MY MONEY FOR THE 940 B-2's!(6,700,700

Thankyou very much and *money wired* for the blackhawks (Is that 200 helecopters I bought?)
I can only bid 25 billion for all Eurofighters and 30 squadrons of B-2s at $7.65 million dollars each as I really want to bid for the other sales in this auction.

ASonic, you are only a 5 million person nation. $6.7 million MIGHT get you 1 B-2, not 940.

Law2K, your offer has been acknowledged, on the Eurofighters and the B-2's.

Still got some B-2's left without a buyer. 12 squadrons, to be precise.

When I bidded '10 squadrons of Blackhawks at $7.65 million dollars each' did 10 squadrons equal 200 planes?

yes it does.

The Kingdom of Crookfur will place the following bids:

On the priamry B-2 auction:

6 sqaudrons of B-2s (120 airframes @ 30mil per frame): $3.6billion
(does anyone actually think of the logisitcal insantiy of supporting more than a few squadrons of stealth bombers?)

On the secondary Eurofighter auction:

150 squadrons of eurofighters (3000 airframes at $15mil each): $45billion



If no more bids are forth comming on the eurofighters Crookfur will take any remainder off your hands at $7million each

Good news Verboten Lufftewaffe!

We are taking 500 squadrons after distributing 100 per every nation of mine (I have 5 nations). :wink:

Have that helps the budget. Deal? :)
You save 76 billion!

There are still 6 squadrons unsold. Surely most nations would like fully armed aircraft that are cheap.

Are there any more bids?

Is my bid still active?

If there are no more bids, the extra B-2's will be put last on the list. Next are the F-117A Nighthawks. There are currently 122 squadrons to be sold, so get in quick.

Law2K, all bids on the B-2's are active.

No i mean is my bid currently at the top or do i have to bid again?

Don't worry, all 47 squadrons must go, and there have only been bids for 41 of them. While there have been higher bids, they did not take any planes from you.

So when does the bidding for them close?

The Kingdom Of Crookfur will bid for the remaining 6 Squadrons of B-2s again at $30 mill per aircraft the total B2 bid is 12 squadrons for a total of $7.2billion.
We will bid for 12 squadrons of F-117As at $4billion (240 airframes at $16.7mil each)

Thank you. When are the Sea Kings coming up?

All funds due are now being transferred to the relavent accounts.


Collection operations will be underway shortly.

Sorry I was away from my computer for a while. Thank you for accepting my bid bid for 10 squads of black hawks.

2 billion wired

Sorry I've been away for so long, I've just moved into a new house, and I don't have the files I need right on hand. I apologise, but this auction is on hold for 24 hours. The next item up will be the Sea Hawks.

OOC: This entire auction is a farce just by the sheer incredulity of the number of airframes being auctioned.

Do you really think that I shouldn't have this many aircraft, considering the defence force is a combination of Moontian, Tritonite, Nereidan, and Dionnian forces. The combined nation has a population of around 6 billion, equivalent to THE ENTIRE REAL LIFE EARTH. Therefore, you should ask yourself whether the planet as a whole would have this many aircraft.

There are 413 squadrons of Sea Hawks available.

TZP: Your bid has been acknowledged.

Ill buy 20 squadrons of black hawks and 4 squadrons of eurofighters

thats about (according to my calculations) 19,200,000

THATS FINE BY ME :D

I bid for all the Sea Kings $10 billion.

Law2K, your bid has been acknowledged.

Destructionatorator, the bidding is for the sea hawks, the black hawks have already been sold, and I think that all the eurofighters are as well.
