If you win an auction but do not want to pay, can you take the penalty instead?
Players disagree over which printing applies, and no designer ruling settles it.

Not under the current printing, which penalizes a player who cannot pay the bid. Some players quote an older printing that also covered a player who chooses not to pay, and they treat refusal as allowed. Paying is almost always the better choice, because the penalty costs a random card and lets the auctioned card go back up cheaply.
