Rhodes Cellar Auction News

Welcome Visitors,
I'd like to begin by explaining how this auction came about.
My family has been playing the MCS game since the beginning and all were enthusiastically playing until recently. Due to the lack of time or interest, family members started dropping out of the game. We had seen the auctions on the blog and thought it would be fun to have our own with all our hard worked streets going to the highest bidder. Having seen some of the difficulties some sellers had with accusations of cheating, street hoarding etc.. I decided to create this account name to test the waters and sold some streets as an experiment. It seemed that all was well and we've decided to go ahead with this larger auction to begin to disperse our streets back to the game. Not wanting to just click, sell to bank, and lose all the work and time we put in we thought perhaps this was a fun way to get the streets back into the game and see the results.
So here we are today.


The auction will begin Thursday Nov 5th in the morning and will end Two hours before pay time on Saturday Nov 7th. We thought that it would be better to end it when most people would be free as it's a weekend.

Now a few disclaimers, our Internet connection has gone off a few times this week for several hours and we fear it could happen again at the worst possible time (Saturday) We will do our best to return anyone's bids promptly if this happens and perhaps try again at a later time.
This is of course unlikely but we just wanted to warn bidders of this possibility now before the auction has begun.

The auction will end with a bid on Pink Heifer St. (Bidder name to be announced)And clearly we will not accept bids on this street. Any bids after this time will be refused and the winning bidder will be sold the street promptly afterward. Below is a list of streets available in the auction starting with the
largest.

The rest of the streets are at lower values and I'll not bother typing them out. If you have questions about them feel free to comment.

You'll notice some small streets in the mix, we have been playfully offering 10 bil for insignificant
streets to lower level players at random all over the globe and thought it would be fun to disperse the winnings in this way, to benefit other players and not profit from this sale.
Today we saw someone playing street games on the main MCS blog and may also donate to some of these games. We would consider other such ideas and donate some funds towards them as well, so please let us know if you have something in mind.

Other Auctioners, we would also consider hosting your auctions on this blog so you don't hog up space on the main blog.

Thanks for your interest, good luck on the auction and hope you get the street you desire.

Feel free to comment on this blog , but we ask that you avoid abuse, profanity and rudeness as there will be minors reading and visiting this location. Your cooperation is appreciated.
