Wonder who wins.

Then they just sell the character, with the house, the person buys the character, a rename and a fantasia, and squenix makes money from it.
The only real deterrent I can see against bots spamming it is the requirement to put the gil up front (probably not an issue for a botter) and the requirement to be a 2nd lieutenant in your FC to be able to purchase it. Not sure if bots do the FC things and I don't think boosting caps your FC rank either, so some little effort has to be put into that at least.
