SYNTAX EXAMPLES
1. auction 1. auction
2. auction <thing> 2. auction ruby

USE:

  1. Use form one to learn the status of the current auction, or to see if there is one currently in progress.
  2. Use form two to place an item on the public auction block. The <thing> you're auctioning must be in your inventory - that is, it has to be in your possession, but you can't be wearing or holding it. There's no need to set a start price for the bidding: the Auctioneer will handle that for you. NOTE that once you place an item on auction, there's no undoing that action: the item is automatically removed from your inventory as soon as it's accepted by the Auctioneer. Note also you may or may not be allowed to bid to retrieve it: this is up to the discretion of the Auctioneer, and different ones enforce different policies.
  3. Use form three or four when you have many instances of <thing> in your inventory, and you want to auction one of them in particular. <thing> must be identifiable by <specifier>.
  4. Use form three or four when you have many instances of <thing> in your inventory, and you want to auction one of them in particular. <thing> must be identifiable by <specifier>.
  5. Use form five when you have many instances of <thing> in your inventory, and you want to auction one of them in particular.

"... postmodernist fiction also reflects the disruption of [the] landscape by twentieth-century war. War in our century has forced us to rethink the received categories of space, conceptual as well as geographical space; it has taught us to think in terms of zone. The lexicon of war is one of the sources of the term "zone," and certainly the postmodernists have borrowed many of the characteristics of their zone from the zones of military discourse - the war zone, the occupied zone, the demilitarized zone."
--Brian McHale,
