Smoking Devil
Many were interested in the smoking pipe especially the men regardless of whether they smoked or not. They didn't care much if the story about the Armenian merchant was true or not. The most important thing was that the silver, gold and jewels used to craft the pipe were all authentic.
It was, simply put, one hell of a smoking pipe. Even the ladies thought that it was a beautiful work of art.
The starting price was at 200,000.
It was extremely expensive for a mere smoking pipe, but if it was treated as a piece of art or precious jewelry, then this price was acceptable.
"210,000!"
"250,000!"
"300,000!"
This time, the price jumps with each bid weren't too high. It seemed that there was a tacit agreement between the bidders to control the price and prevent it from becoming too expensive. It was the unplanned final item. Although some of them wanted it, they wouldn't spend too much unnecessary money to fight for it.
