One of the attendants working for the auction removed the sheet from the hidden object it was hiding from underneath to reveal what exactly that hidden object was. From underneath the sheet you spotted a small conch shell encrusted with diamonds that looked bigger than any other conch shells that you've seen from the ocean, or gift shops.
"This conch shell was found in 1897," the announcer explains. "Judging by how deep it's interior goes, you could be able to hear more than just the ocean if you stick the object directly up to your ear to try, and listen. Dozens of sailors wives begged to get this shell, but without the proper price, it remains with us, which is why we're auctioning this magnificent listening tool. So, we shall start the bidding at $50.00." Everyone in the crowd began holding their number signs, while also changing the price for the shell.
