- Inspecting Units -

     - You are given a limited time to inspect a unit. During this time, you can do various things.

Inspecting Item Prices
     - One of the basic things that you should be doing. Try to add up the prices of all the items
inside the unit. This way, you will have an idea on how much the unit worth.
     - Ignore items with less than $50 price range.
     - Just get the average price and add them up to the other items.
     - Example: Item X = $700 ~ $1250. For this item, price it at $900 or $1000.
     - Example: Item Y = $??? ~ $250. For this item, price it at $100.

Wanted Treasures
     - Keep an eye on wanted items. Wanted item's price values are more than $1500!
     - Look for these treasures hidden in the auctions and win the bid!

Dollar ($) Sign Hunt

give you XP and Cash. Approximately 4 to 5 dollar signs per unit.
     - You must fill up the bar before all bids are complete or before the time runs out!
     - As you progress through the game, dollar searching will get harder and trickier.
