# An auction file may contain any line that is valid # in a configuration file (see sample_config.txt for # details), plus it may also have auction lines. # # An auction line contains an auction number, optionally # followed by a price. If a price isn't specified, the # price used is the same as the previous auction line. # # You should have one auction file for each type of item # you are bidding on, so that you can change the quantity, # username, or other options to suit the item you are # bidding on. For instance, you may want to buy up to 10 # laser print cartridges, but only one digital camera. # Sample auction file for laser printer cartridges # I'd like 10 of them, and my target price is $50 quantity = 10 # seller surpluslaserjunk, shipping $15, # questionable reputation (so I'll only pay $40 total) 9298389738 25 9872749829 9872972987 9087289973 # seller highqualityprintersupplies, shipping $8, # excellent reputation 9982309829 42 9827349827 # seller nonbusinesshomeseller, shipping not mentioned # (assume $10), good reputation 9287398473 35 # seller lasersuppliesforcheap, lousy reputation, # don't buy!!! #9239889372 0
