An account would be a rule defined portion of an entities assets, which may be spent only as authorized by the enacting rule. Here we could either transfer the assets to a spesific account of Agora (to ensure that they aren't spent) or to a special account of the player bidding. Actually, we could do that with the items being auctioned too, which would simplify things and ensure that they stay up for auction. You can think of accounts being basically like Agoran institutions, except that the owner technically still has ownership, just not the power to spend the asset. -Aris >
