train stops the bidding in the first round at 5 gems. The cards played at that point are:

You're bidding on a Mai Tai (red, 30 points, 1 income, value 3).
PM your bid by Monday, 7/10 by 7:00 AM EST. It's doubtful, but ff everyone gets their bids in by 2 PM EST today, then I can start the next round before I leave.
If you want to sell a resource to get some gems, let me know.
A reminder: You don't have to stop the Bidding even though you've played a second Stop. If no one stops the bidding by Round 6 and everyone plays a Pass, the card is thrown out. So be sure to say if and when you're Stop Bidding. If you just list your six cards, I'll assume you are NOT stop bidding and hope to get the card for free at Round 6. If you stop listing your cards after your second Stop, I'll assume you Stop Bidding at that point. But the only two times you should stop listing your cards is either after you've listed all or after you've played your second Stop.
