Each of the fruits would be sold individually and one person could only buy one of the three fruits. Elena was fine with this rule as she was already planning to buy only one of the three fruits for tasting. So the limit to how many a single person could buy did not effect her at all.
After analysing the fruits thoroughly, Elena decided to not bid on the first fruit. Even though all the fruits were of very similar quality, there were still slight differences between them. And according to Elena's analysis, the last fruit to be auctioned was the tastiest. So she was going to bid for that one.
...
The starting price for the first fruit was two hundred and fifty thousand R and a minimum amount of ten thousand R needed to be raised in every bid. Two hundred and fifty thousand R might sound like a lot but for fruits of such rarity, this price was quite cheap.
