Auction - Hounted House

Postby Harkback Union » Wed Jul 29, 2015 5:31 am

Nations, Corporations and Private Individuals of the world.


Harkbank International has recently aquired a plot of land from one of its costumers who was long overdue on debt payments, a certain Mr. Peddler. Harkbank staff was sent to investigate the location and reportedly found a run-down house there, shown in the image below.

Image

The house is located on Drury Lane, Dutchtown, an abandoned fishing village on a small island, part of the Molíí Archipelago. This chain of islands is currently Independent but is under Harkback oversight, its exact location is classified. We haven't recieved any further reports from the first investigator team for several weeks and we therefore sent a 2nd team consisting of demolition specialists to improve the value of the plot by destroying the shack atop it and to retrive the boat used by the first team to get to the island. In their last report, they wrote of unsettling noises echoing through the corridors and halls, maddening symbols littering the walls and unexplained movement of objects inside the confines of the manor.

Harkbank International has no knowledge of what happened to members of the first and 2nd team and has no intention to send any further teams. Satellite reconisance shows that the house is still standing.

To cut back on its losses, Harkbank international is willing to auction off the Drury lane 1 along with both boats used by our staff to get to the island and any equipment they may have left behind on the property. The auction starts at 10,000 NS$.

You can use the following application to participate in the auction which will be held at the Winecher auction house in downtown Union City, HU.

Code: Select all
Name of Person or Organization:
Amount of NSD to bid:
Reason for bidding / what your plans are with the property (optional):


Or just simply raise your voice and shout in the amount of NSD you are willing to pay for the Hounted House.

Please make bids at least 1,000 NSD larger then the previous.

The Auction ends if nobody has made a bid for 24 hours.

Lars Olsen went back to his chair, the Auction was rather tame until now. * This will change soon enough*, the Secretary from the Ministry of buisness, economy, trade and natural ressources (BETN) studied the nearly empty room when a new bid was shouted.
With ease the secretary stepped up as well.

75,000 NSD. Not even approaching the average cost of a single-family home in Toronto, so it's mighty cheap.

The Personal Private Secretary offers on behalf of His Grace The Duke, to the Government of Auricium, to pay 50% of the opening costs of a restaurant (to be a joint venture) if they withdraw from the haunted house auction, as His Grace passionately wishes to preserve the site as is for future generations, and for study.

The lady in the 2nd row offers 350 000.
Are there any other bids?

May I remind the ladies and gentleman that house in question was designed by none other then Le Fornier!
- The Auctioneer says.

Le Fornier! - Some whisper in the crowd.
