Life Is Strange Reunion: Going Once Going Twice Guide
This achievement pops up during Open Mic Night, but it is not something you get by just playing normally. You actually have to pay attention to the auction and stay ahead of Vinh the whole time, which the game does not fully explain.
If you ignore the bidding sheet for too long, Vinh will sneak past you and win it, so this one is more about timing and awareness than anything else.
How To Win The Silent Auction
Outbid Vinh on the sculpture auction by checking the sheet often, rewinding when needed, and stealing the pen so he cannot place a final bid.
That is the key to locking this in without losing it at the last second.
Step By Step Auction Strategy
The silent auction runs in the background while the chapter progresses, so you need to keep coming back to it.
Find the silent auction sheet for the sculpture during Open Mic Night
Place a bid to get ahead of Vinh early
After each story moment, return and check the sheet again
If Vinh has outbid you, use rewind and place a higher bid
Near the end, rewind, place your bid, then take the pen so Vinh cannot respond
That last step is what secures the win, without it he can still beat you right at the end.
Why Stealing The Pen Matters
This is the part most people miss. Even if you are ahead, Vinh can still outbid you if the pen is available.
Taking the pen removes his ability to place another bid, which effectively locks in your win. It feels a little dirty, but hey, it works.
Common Mistakes That Cost The Win
This achievement is easy to lose if you treat the auction like a one time interaction.
Not checking the sheet after each story beat
Forgetting to rewind when Vinh outbids you
Placing one bid and assuming it is enough
Leaving the pen available at the end
Stay on top of it and you will get it without needing a replay.
Final Blurb
Going Once Going Twice is one of those achievements that rewards being a little sneaky. Keep checking the auction, use rewind to stay ahead, and grab that pen at the right moment. Vinh never even sees it coming.
