Colonial Arms announces the sale of surplus goods. We have 2,000 M2A3 Bradleys and 1,000 T-90s for sale. It should be noted that these goods were acquired, not produced by Colonial Arms. All T-90s are fitted with reactive armor. These weapons will be sold by auction. Allies of Colony West receive a 5% discount in payment. In other words, you can bid $1 million, but if you win you only have to pay $950 thousand. The nations of Uphaus and Please No (Mangudai) are inelligible to bid because they are both our allies, but currently hostile to one another.
Bids should be stated in price per unit, and winning bidder gets first choice to buy as many of the units he/she would like to purchase. The second place bidder for each item gets next choice and so on until all units are sold.
Please Note: this is not a combined bid, please state price per unit AND which you are bidding on.
We hope to start the auction at $1.5 million per unit for the T-90s and $800k per unit for the Bradleys. All Bradleys are factory fresh, unused. All T-90s have been inspected for quality and are in prime shape.

I have decided to also give a fruit basket to the first buyer.

In that case . . .

I, a private Errikan citizen, would like to begin the bidding for a single Bradley for $800k.

If your government will allow you to purchase military vehicles, then ok.

And for everyone else, I am dropping the starting bids to 500k for the Bradleys and $1 million for the T-90's.

Starting the bid for T-90's at $2 million.

$1700 for two Bradleys

Alexaner, I said the minumum bid was $500k, or $500,000. However, as you are a flegling nation we are prepared to give you 5 Bradleys free of charge. Have fun with em.

Do I hear any higher bid for the T-90's? Any bid for the Bradleys?

Thank you, I will repay you in anyway you want

All T-90s sold to The Imperial Empire of Maldorians. We feel generous so we are also sending a fruit basket to The Mandalore of Maldorians. Alas our fruit growers are not happy with our heedless gifting of their fruit, but they can grow a lemon and then suck on it.

Uphaus will bid $250k/unit for the Bradleys.

so...do I win?

Uphaus wins the bidding.

So, Uphaus, how many do you want?
