各位法律好~英文好的大哥大姐們幫幫忙~~~感激不盡~~

試著(zhù)翻譯了一下，不足之處請指正：

Florence 有一個(gè)收藏品——“板球大師（板球健將）”內容的卡片。這個(gè)收藏品因為非常稀少因此很值點(diǎn)錢(qián)，星期一她在一家報紙《Daily Blunder》上打了**，想賣(mài)掉這卡片。**內容：將轉讓“板球大師（板球健將）”內容的卡片，將賣(mài)給到星期天時(shí)出價(jià)最高的買(mǎi)家。

星期二，Gavin 給Florence 寫(xiě)信愿意5000美元買(mǎi)下。同一天，Helen給 Florence 去了email 愿意出100美元買(mǎi)下。 Florence很少去看自己的email郵箱因此并不知道 Helen 發(fā)了email給她。星期三，Ivan寫(xiě)了信給Florence說(shuō)愿意以1萬(wàn)美元買(mǎi)下，但是這封信由于被郵局延誤投遞因此在兩周后 Florence 才收到。星期三，Florence 寫(xiě)信給 Gavin 愿意以7000美元賣(mài)掉。在Gavin收到這封信前，他已經(jīng)覺(jué)得5000美元大概不夠，于是加價(jià)到7000美元，又寄了封信給Florence ，這封信在星期六早晨到達 Florence 那里。

星期四， Florence接受了當地電視臺的邀請做了關(guān)于這個(gè)收藏品的節目，但是她又說(shuō)將把這個(gè)收藏品賣(mài)給直到本周五的最高出價(jià)者。

請給Florence建議一下，如果她有一個(gè)賣(mài)掉收藏品的合同，假如出現上述各位買(mǎi)家出價(jià)的情況，那么這件收藏品到底將賣(mài)多少錢(qián)呢？

arse kisser, arselicker, bumkisser,bumsniffer and brown-noser – refers to people who "suck up" to authority figures, which is fundamentally opposed to Australian hostility for authority figures.

bastard – general purpose designation for a person or persons, may be either a term of endearment or an expression of hostility or resentment. It has sometimes been called "the great Australian endearment", but can also be an insult; interpreted according to context. Calling someone "a silly bastard" is affectionate: calling them "a stupid bastard" is a serious insult. According to a cricketing anecdote, during the "Bodyline" series of 1932–33, the England captain complained to the Australian captain, Bill Woodfull, that an Australian player had called one of his players a bastard. Woodfull supposedly turned to his team and said: "Which one of you bastards called this bastard's bowler a bastard?"
