2 Auctions: 2 cobblestone blocks (with a twist)

Auction 1: 1 cobblestone block

SILENT AUCTION
In-game Name: Look left.
Item up for auction: 1 diamond ore block.
Starting bid: 0rc
Minimum increments: none
Ending date & time: 12pm 1st of November (UTC +10)
Buyout Price: 11k

This is a silent auction, meaning that if you bid, you must do it 'silently' (i.e. instead of posting bids on the forum, message me in the forums. This is so you do not know other people's bids, and they do not know yours).



Auction 2: 1 cobblestone block

NORMAL AUCTION
In-game Name: Look left.
Item up for auction: 1 diamond ore block.
Starting bid: 0rc
Minimum increments: 100rc
Ending date & time: 12pm 1st of November (UTC +10)
Buyout Price: 11k

This one you can post on the forums for a bid.

PLEASE NOTE
All bids are considered real. Any bid on the thread is considered for auction 2. If you want to bid for auction 1, message be in the forums, with a bid. Normal auction rules apply to both. The highest bid overall will receive 1 diamond ore free. This is also an experiment, to see which auction will have higher bids overall (unless there is a negligible difference between the two). In the case that both buyout prices are reached, each player who bid the buyout price will receive 2 diamonds each, instead of one diamond ore block for the overall winner (since there is none). You can bid on both auctions. If you bid on the silent auction, do not expect a response. The winner of the silent auction will be announced on the thread. Post questions in the thread. Any bid that does not comply with the rules will be ignored.

Bah! I guess I can't articulate myself well, or it's too complex, or both.

Anyways, since there is a lack of bidding

AUCTIONS CANCELLED

Yeah yeah stop mocking my inability to express myself...

If you want to know, in one auction (1 cobblestone block) you bid normally. In the other, instead of posting bids, you message me with them. Winner receives a diamond ore block as well. Why couldn't I have said that before? I must have been really tired.

Yeah, the "silent auction" conducted by PM was a good idea, but I think the cobblestone vs diamonds, and the relationship with the second auction made things more confusing.
