" 1100 Gold coins"

Before most people could even realize the bidding had started, the bid had already increased by 100 gold coins. 

"1110 gold coins," Ning bid as well, but his voice was quickly drowned in other bids of higher value. Ning then decided to keep quiet and wait for the number of people bidding to lower.

It didn't take long for the price of the item to double as the bid reached 2000 gold coins. Only then did it even remotely slow down. 

It took a bit longer for the bid to reach 2100 gold coins when there were only 3 people bidding. 2 people were from the VIP rooms on the upper floor and 1 of them was from the hall below.

"2-2160 gold coins," the guy on the hall below hesitated for a bit before increasing the bid. It didn't seem like he had much more money to bid.
