"The German fairs are unusual in that items from the catalogue can not be snapped up immediately after the opening of the fair. In fact they can not be sold within the first hour. If more than one person expresses an interest in an item from the fair catalogue in that first hour, then tickets are drawn to determine who will be the lucky buyer!"
