01 · The Bid Royale — winning the day is a game too

An open ascending auction per calendar day, played like king-of-the-hill: the top bidder holds the crown, getting knocked off triggers an alert, and the final minutes are sudden death — every late bid resets a closing 60-second storm timer, so sniping is impossible and the finish is a real showdown.
