Going once, Going twice, Its time to sign up for the Coaster Auction. One of the best coaster related strategy games ever conceived. Each contestant starts out with one million ($1,000,000) dollars, fake of course. Each day, a new coaster will be put on the block, for participants to bid on. The bidding will end at exactly 8 PM EST. Whoever has the last bid before that time gets the coaster. But spend your money wisely as you only have so much. This process will continue through the entire month of September. Then the entire C-net community will be invited to vote on who has the best collection of coasters. So its not about having the most rides, and its not about spending all your allotted money on the one best ride. Its about your overall collection. There will be a week long sign up period, ending on Saturday, 11 at 11:59 PM EST. The first coaster up for auction will be up by Sunday morning. So hurry and sign up, as their's only 15 available slots and no more can be added. This is gonna be great.

Oh and I almost forgot to mention. This is an Official COASTER-net Contest. And that means there is a prize. Whoever wins will get a free Coaster Poster of their choice from multitude of HD images we have in the store.

Sign me up.

[Ryan Shrout]

Just a reminder, today is the last day you can sign up. Still 7 spots left.

[Ryan Shrout]

Alright, lets get this party started! Since today will be kinda a short day, we'll start off with a shorter coaster (but still a thriller by all accounts). The first coaster up for bid is .... Phoenix @ Knoebels ! We'll start the bidding at $2,000. No bids will be taken after 8PM EST.


Please note, minimum bid raising is $100. Please no raising by like 1s and 5s and such. As a reminder, you are starting with one million, $1,000,000. Spend it well, and spend it wisely.

I guess I'll be the first to bid -- 2,000 dollars.

Sorry X-car, but Nessie got in the last bid of the day. Each day's bidding will conclude at 8 PM EST as stated in the rules.

So that said, congrats to Nessie on getting a fantastic woody to start his collection.

Nessie: $996,000 ... Phoenix
