I think the DQ is a load of cr@p.  I'll win the item, but if I don't check back in before midnight it doesn't count.  How does that make any sense?  Because I didn't get the messAGE UNTIL after midnight the item I won at auction this morning ago doesn't qualify?  And I keep  getting ssent back to day 1, even though I've been checking in every day.

My dq was for the scarf photo.  Easy one.

I've invented my own auction challenge.  I'm pretending I have no inventory and only have 250 coins.  The challenge is to buy and sell until I have 1 of each regular collectible.  And I have to win the items, so buyouts are not allowed.

I started immediately after midnight last night.  Spent 247 coins and won 80 items.  Put 35 items up for auctions expiring in 12 hours.  When the auction expires, I'll calculate my profit and buy some more stuff to auction.  Other than the official DQ, my personal challenge will be my only auction activity. 

I've been customizing buildings and have only 4-5 more to do in the Ye Olde English motif.

So far I'm enjoying my little game within a game.  I like having a specific goal and a "quest" that can be worked on over a long period of time.

The items I put up for auction sold for a total of 4,137 coins!   The items that didn't sell I relisted for a 6 hour auction.  I just checked and one of those items has a bid for 2,000 coins.  Time to go shopping and find more things to sell.

I've customized to get the Achievement.  If another one pops up I'll pobably do some more.  Or if I get a quest.  I was pretty hapopy with the way my areas looked.

I did it!  My Daily Quests was London Bridge and I just won the auction at 10,010.
