There were two Skeleton Key auctions - I don't know if either is still
going.  One has certainly finished.

I create a trinket, value A$10, named "Zapruder".  Its description is:
"An old piece of footage warning people to stay away from grassy knolls in
convertibles."

I offer to trade ThinMan Zapruder for The Grassy Knoll.

It turns out both had finished.  Neither of the bids you submitted had any
effect.  Sorry Pandora.

I think I'd like to hang on to The Grassy Knoll for a while.  However:

I create a trinket, value A$ 5, named Presidential Convertible.  It is a
vehicle for the President to ride around Acka in -- a testament to his good
intentions for all Ackans, and their goodwill toward him.  It is green.

I gift the Presidential Convertible to Slakko, and advise him to keep it
and Zapruder together.

I create a trinket known as Water Balloon, with a value of A$11.  It is a
rather large, fragile water balloon sneakily filled with indelible orange
and chartreuse paint.

I toss the Water Balloon up and down a few times to get the heft of it,
then grin evilly.  I sit on the Grassy Knoll and wait for Slakko to drive
by in eir spanking new Presidential Convertible.

I draw A$200 from the Church to the Evil Ballot Stuffer (as Founder, 
Church Policy says I can do so...) and use it to pay for the Scroll of
Crumble, which I then transfer to the Church to the Evil Ballot Stuffer.

{Essentially the Church bought it}

I then note that we have A$1050 left (A$400 on the Entities page, A$650
from SPAM - everyone approved - and A$200 from Ayla, minus the money for
the Scroll) and announce that we are building a Secret Laboratory.
