Hmmm... What would ownership of the said congoers entail?

I'm going to have to nixx this idea at the forefront:

1. It would need to be 18+ for the simple reason that underage persons NEVER get sold ANYWHERE. I put my foot down to permission slips as an idea- just no. Simply no.

2. "Dates" get auctioned at the current auction already, having two events would be stretching it.

and most importantly 3. It's ALWAYS awkward doing a sale of people. What happens when so and so goes for 100 and so and so goes for 5? Trust me. Feelings get hurt. Easily. I only auction off one or two people at the PCM auction for that reason- one year we did a whole bunch of people and it sucked for the one who barely made ANY bids.

So no, sorry. No auction. You could do a blind date panel, or a dating show type gig, but no auctions of persons. Sorry!
