[Inert Egg]
Initial Price: 6,500 Gold
Minimum Bid: 1,050 Gold
"This priceless egg has been incubating for hundreds of years! No one knows what will hatch from it, but it must be a high-tier pet! Don't let this slip through your fingers!" The hostess shouted as she posed next to the egg on the pedestal.
The egg was purple, and unlike regular eggs, it had scales covering it instead of the typical smooth eggshell. It was much larger than an egg as well; it was larger than a basketball!
"6,500!"
"7,550!"
"8,600!"
Marcus turned and looked around at his friends as the price skyrocketed, "Is this something you guys think we should bid on?"
Artox stared at the egg, intensely rubbing his chin, lost in thought. Uleguerand shrugged his shoulders as it most likely wouldn't be anything worthwhile for him. Raia and Jessica looked at each other as if communicating telepathically but didn't say anything.
"9,650!"
"10,700!"
"11,750!"
