In the Fellowship Summonings, you can put Gold, Supplies... Instants... Spells... even buildings like event cultures.
If someone in the Fellowship wants to remove an item from the Fellowship Summonings, they have to replace the item/s with something else. Like a bid system.
So, for instance, if they wish to remove some of the Gold that's in the Fellowship Summonings, they have to replace it with, say, some Supplies, or a handful of Spells, or maybe an Instant or two.
Or if there's an Event Cult in there... they can bid on it with some Gold etc.
The bid for the items in the Fellowship Summonings, would be literally a "bid".
They place their bid on the item that's in the Fellowship Summonings, and a Mage, or the Archmage, has to either confirm or deny the trade.
This would allow Mages and Archmages to keep items secure, and make sure the Fellowship Summonings doesn't get raided by players who might not be fully trustworthy.
Not saying everyone is untrustworthy, but there may be the ocassional player in a Fellowship that would nick all the Instants and Event Cultures, and leave the Fellowship Summonings filled to the brim with nothing but Gold or Supplies.
The Arch/Mage system on bids, not only would give the Mages something to do... but would also stop the Fellowship Summonings from just ending up packed with nothing but a load of Gold and Supplies.

It would also be handy in the Gold and Supplies situation because there are 3 players in my Fellowship who are constantly maxing out on Gold and Supplies, and they have to use the Wholesaler all the time to get the numbers down again.
And there are smaller players who sometimes struggle for Gold or Supplies.
If they could place the Gold/Supplies into the Fellowship Summonings or even spend that surplus Gold/Supplies and get themselves an Instant or some Spells or whatever, then a smaller player could then bid on those items with say, some Supplies or maybe a couple Spells... an Archmage or Mage can then say yes to that bid, and the smaller player then gets that handful of Gold.
