Jasmine felt that the steward in front of her was deliberately marketing the auction house invitation to them. After all, the number of wealthy people in the Winchester Kingdom wasn't considered large.

As for the threshold, that depended on how many slaves the guests could swallow from the slave market. After all, people without money couldn't afford to raise slaves anyway.
Jasmine originally intended to go to the auction house to take a look, especially since the Minotaur Huntington was likely among those auction items. Since she could get the auction house invitation here, Jasmine decisively accepted the steward's invitation, selecting a number of slaves and spending nearly five hundred gold coins, spending more than half of the gold coins in her purse before they even had time to warm her pocket.
