I hope nobody minds that I start the bidding on this one. I think it would be a good idea to set the bidding at the most expensive, logical solution I can think of: Rockets!
STARTING BID: $3971+
If it seems like a high bid at first, do not fret! It is actually very easy to make a solution with a similar score, and should offer a great deal of room for further bidding. Most of the allowed budget is, after all, extraneous. We never use all of a $2000 budget, so $5000 seems just silly.
Okay, I think I've defended myself enough already, so I am going to slink away before I get accused of ruining the bidding.
