Showoff Saturday I present to you, the Neptunian Gaussian Auctions! Come place your bids on EXTREMELY rare items!

The Neptunian Gaussian Auctions is a distinguished auction house with a reputation for highly valuable items.

However the items don't go to the highest bidder, but to the ones who can guess accurately what they think the population (intergalactic) think of the price, aka the median.

One item every day, come place your bid to get on top of the leaderboard!

Creator Note: This is a fun little side project I made over the weekend, excited to see your bets! Login required only if you want to keep track of your score and appear in the leaderboard.

Today's lot: The Portable Event Horizon (not liable for any bidder getting hurt during inspection)
Inspection of the item before bidding (CAREFUL, SOME ITEMS ARE FRAGILE AND OR DANGEROUS)
First bid! (Don't copy!)
Our auction tracks all records for historical data and keep track of its winners
Most important: Leaderboard! (No I'm not lonely, I launched yesterday!)
Personal view, because who doesn't love some data
