bid

Purpose: bid on an item currently on the public auction block; or find out what the current bid is
Synonyms: none

SYNTAX EXAMPLES
1. bid 1. bid
2. bid <quantity> 2. bid 25

USE:

  1. Use form one when you want to know what the current bid is, or if any bids have in fact been placed.
  2. Use form two when you want to place a bid on the item currently being auctioned. You must have at least as much funds in your possession as the quantity of your bid, or it won't be allowed. "Possession" includes your bank account, you don't have to carry the cash.

Note that once you place a bid, you're committed. There's no undoing a bid, and the funds you've pledged are placed on hold until the auction ends or someone outbids you. Note also that you may or may not be allowed to bid on items you yourself place on auction. This decision is up to the individual Auctioneers, who determine their own policies.

"[The] dominant of postmodernist fiction is ontological. That is, postmodernist fiction deploys strategies which engage and foreground questions like ... "Which world is this? What is to be done in it? Which of my selves is to do it?" Other typical postmodernist questions bear either on the ontology of the literary text itself or on the ontology of the world which it projects, for instance: What is a world?; What kinds of worlds are there, how are they constituted, and how do they differ?; What happens when different kinds of worlds are placed in confrontation, or when boundaries between worlds are violated?; What is the mode of existence of a text, and what is the mode of existence of the world (or worlds) it projects?; How is a projected world structured? And so on."
