Short and sweet version of how it usually works is as follows (but by no means required and Gonzo may do it differently this time around)

1. Gonzo will establish a date and time
2. @ start time Gonzo will post a series of numbered pictures - each with their own associated price
3. If you want to buy that particular frag you will post up the number associated with the coral you want (NOT THE PRICE - BE CAREFUL as the price wont get you the frag in the heat of battle)
4.
Gonzo will continue to post more pictures of corals - each with their own associated price (Caution - People will be going crazy smashing/tapping the refresh buttons on their comps and cell phones)
5. The madness will continue until Gonzo runs out of corals or everyone falls asleep (The later of the two has never ever ever happened I promise)
6.
At the end Gonzo will usually post a list of what is left (Warning - not usually very much)
7.
Gonzo will count up the corals you won and send you a PM (private message) of the total and the corals he has you down for as winning. He will then send you a paypal invoice or sometimes (often times) allows cash at pick (Those who claim frags but don't pay for and collect them are banned - not really but its frowned upon if you claim corals and don't pay for or pick them up. Neither the Vendor nor the others who wanted the coral (and were willing to pay) but were too slow, appreciate this)
8.
Gonzo will establish meet up spots and times for coral delivery (Usually a few up north and a few lower south denver)
9.
You cant sleep or breathe in anxiety and excitement over the corals you just won in the live sale (ALL OUT WAR) and begin to pace back and forth until pick up time (seriously this has been know to happen)
10.
Meet up with Gonzo (looks like a parking lot drug dealer with a parking lot full of people waiting for a Tahoe full of pee cups and bags) and walk away a happy person with a huge grin (happens every time)


I think that about sums it up :p

oh here is an example too:

Josh, I know this would probably equate to a huge amount of work for you, but is there any way to get the names with each # and price?
