Chapter 956 - You better start getting used to it...

"The trick that we didn't anticipate was falsely claiming that an item was stolen goods", Kwon Qianhong added, "Since we're not a black market auction that could be a bit problematic, but I had the auction host announce that in the event of such a claim, both the item, and the one claiming it was stolen would be held in custody until a confirmation was made. If the item was indeed officially declared stolen, the winner of the bid would receive their money back along with an apology, and the one who made the claim the item was stolen would receive a small compensation and released. Of course, the item has to be declared stolen an appropriate time before the auction, and it has to be an official announcement in order to establish the authenticity of the claim. Since otherwise anyone can simply claim that an item was stolen from them. This rule was then added to the official rules of the auction as well"
