For Bluegirl412, there is no way for you to give 250 credits and "win" the auction. You have to bid like everyone else. Credits cannot be gifted. I once won an auction for 1 credit, as the person did not set a start "price". I felt bad because it was a very nice item, but no one else bid on it. I wanted to gift him more credits, but it can't be done, you'll just have to bid and be patient. Good luck.
