Tepic Harlequin - Urchin for a Day
Everyone knows there is an urchin City living alongside and among Babbage's streets, but not everyone knows much about it! We will give you an introduction into urchin life, where some of the hideouts are, what they do during the day (and night!), where free food can be found, and some of the underground routes around the City.
You will be kitted out in the best free urchin outfit that money can't buy, and shown round by Tepic and possibly others... if they can be found!
Who to avoid, who to run from, who to go for in times of trouble, all basic information if you are to survive the mean streets of New Babbage - when you are too small to look over most of the walls! This and more will be part and parcel of this highly valuable package tour.
This is a unisex prize, in the world of the urchin, it doesn't matter who you are, if you are young, and new to the City, the resident urchins see it as their duty to give you a helping hand - also helping with any supplies, money or tradable goods you might have brought...
There will be much walking, some running, and possibly some wild chasing about!
On the practicality part, the introduction will be at the mutual agreeable time between the purchaser and Tepic (and other urchins as available), and may possibly be split over several days depending on that bugbear rl... Time zones, Tepic is European based, so mid-day sl time is a good starting point. Though it is listed as a day, it is expected to cover several hours of fun and games. not a full 24!

Jimmy Branagh - Custom Bust
Ever wanted to be immortal? Cast in stone for all the world to admire through the centuries? Good luck with that!
But, Jimmy Branagh has a solution for you! He will create a Romanesque-style bust of YOU in mesh for all of SL to worship in the years to come. The high bidder at auction will receive an authentic likeness of themselves (within reason, of course) such as an Augustus or Victoria would be proud to display, and enough copies to blanket the Steamlands.
Unfortunately, due to time constraints this item is limited to humans only.

Penny Dreadful - Flying Chronometre
Certified, one-of-a-kind "Flying Chronometre"

Nymlet - Steampunk DJ set
A extraordinary set for your club, or to bring with you when you are out playing. Featuring a nice wood-panneled DJ boot with double gramophone spinners (also a version without them for less primusage) A amazing Teslain-ducted spinning gear dance floor AND a Gramophone radio with over 50 preset stations and the ability to put your own streams in.
Rogue Dalton - Steampunk Doll
Exclusive RFL Steampunk doll from Rogue's Posh Emporium.
Obscura Benoir - Spinning Wheel
Bid to own the fabulous spinning wheel recently created by Obscura Benoir. Take care of your surplus coal by spinning it into gold!
Skusting Dagger - Picture
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Barge Number 79 is an excellent representative type of the Hudson River Railroad Barge, and she survives in original condition. She is a rarity based not only upon her historical significance and social impact, but also upon her pristine state of preservation.
Nightshade Sixpence - Skybox
Ever lose track of time when you're working in your skybox? With this amazing giant pocketwatch, now you'll never have to root around for a clock or watch while you work inside its comfort and privacy!
Stereo Nacht - Tickets
The Wulfenbach Consulate is holding a limited-attendance dinner with Baron Klaus Wulfenbach. Two tickets are available for New Babbage citizens to attend! Be ready for delicious food and stimulating conversation--and don't be surprised if something... mysterious happens along the way.
Dr. Obolensky - Angel of New Babbage Jet Pack of Awesomeness
Tired of flying without any good means? Think your entrances and exits need more style and drama? The ANBJPA comes with: Wings that extend for flight, an accurate clock so that people behind you will always know what time it is, fancy fire and smoke from not one or two, but *three* exhausts! And of course, this one-of-a-kind version has fancy textures, a gear halo, lighting effects, and best of all, an angelic choir to announce take-offs! You know you want it.
Macknight Culdesac - Airlift and Platform
This elevator travels through the air using four small propellers. The controls are quite easily mastered; simple choose your destination from a menu. The owner of the elevator can assign destination names and elevations. As with most elevators, motion is limited to the vertical.
Included with the Air Lift is an Air Platform. (Without a destination, the Air Lift would be rather pointless, don't you think?) This Air Platform is suspended aloft by the force of four large steam-driven propellers.
Also included with the Air Lift and the Air Platform is a calling station, rather similar in size and shape to a manhole cover. Touching this calls the Air Lift to the nearest defined stopping level.
