Trying the open bidding format. Bidding begins when the first bidder (Emperor on the second card) makes their opening bid. This is to preserve the advantage/disadvantage of having a different bidding order on each card.
After 24 hours, the bidding will be closed with the highest bid taking the card. If the other bidders all submit 'pass' before 24 hours is up the bid can end early.
We're waiting on you to make a bid so the 24 hour bidding starts.

jako and Farangu are left to vote.
The one risk of open bidding is that if someone goes away, we'll only notice if they're up to start the bidding. That said... people should really let us know if they're going away. >.<
That and availability to get the key low spice bids. For example, I could get the forums to email my BB on all updates and get a 2-3 min response time while I'm awake and paying attention
Or spend 20 min to write an app that will bid with a reaction time < 1 minute
That is certainly something I like about the eBay style. It's still done in turn and you won't miss out if for some reason you can't monitor the bidding process.

The Emperor takes it for 3.
So, open bidding, eBay, or like last game?

Watch me struggle to learn streaming! Point and laugh!
I have already sent the third card ID to Atreides, so send in what you are willing to give the Emperor and it starts at Atreides.
Atreides
Harkonnen
Fremen
Guild
Bene Gesserit
Emperor
Note: the first bidder can always say, like, max 3, but make my opening bid 2. Any algorithm you think works for you.
Twitch Stream
Harkonnen
Fremen
Guild - Bid in
Bene Gesserit - Bid in
Emperor
Possible deal on the table for card information.
Oh, programming jokes. I only know people languages.
Sending info now.
Twitch Stream
Atreides - Pass
Harkonnen - 1
Fremen - 2

2 spice from the Fremen finds its way to the Emperor.
