The Auction of Contraband and Seized Property is an annual auction held by the Sheriff's Secret Police at the Sheriff's Secret Police Auction House.[1]
2013 auction[]
The Sheriff's Secret Police hoped to raise $7.3 million in order to purchase "balloons, birthday candles, yellowcake, and an armoured piñata." The auction soon descended into chaos. Afterwards, the Sheriff's Secret Police declared it a success and deployed their armored piñata in celebration.
While reporting on the auction, Cecil Palmer noticed that one of the lots was listed in the catalog as "Cecil Palmer." No description was given. Cecil's request for a photograph of the lot was denied. He rushed to the auction house and obtained a paddle just before bidding began, but, overcome by nerves, forgot to raise his paddle. Only one bid was placed. He did not learn the winner's identity.[1] In "Review", it is revealed he was bought by Hiram McDaniels' violet head.
