Topic: AUCTION HOUSE
Hello
Today just goofing off I started an auction in trade channel for no reason at all. The first item didn't do well, but it was kinda fun. I decided to do a 2nd auction on 20 small t4 reppers and it went well. (didn't loose money) People started filling up trade channel so I did a third auction and advertised a 4th. I made more on the T4 small em guns than it took me to make them so I was thrilled. The Gropho MK2 sold for 50 mill. There were over 20 in trade channel and we had a great time.
Several people asked me to do it again!
So I'm offering an AUCTION again (time to be determined). There needs to be a bit of structure so I per pose:
1). Others can contact me before the auction and contract me items. I will contract at 1mill per auction
2). Highest bidder has to pick the item up in Sinj on the account that won the bid (sellers deliver to me in Sinj before the auction starts.
3). I can't ban people form making fake bids in trade channel. But I can keep a ban list of offenders, and if the auctions are popular then we'll go to a permanent Auction channel that can be moderated properly.
If you have any interest, feedback, suggestions on how this can be a successful community event please let me hear it!
On my next auction there will be T4 items in 10+ sized lots, Bots and meck's mk1 in 10+ lots, MK2's and Mk2 CT's. Possibly resources in 100mill lots (pieces not U).
If you have some items in those quantities please e-mail Hydra Merchant and I will contact you before the next Auction.
What time and day works for everyone. Post in Server time only! I have a flexible weekend schedule
When I am ready I will Advertise in forum and in game the time. The forum post will include all items in the order they will be auctioned.
If you see an item you want you can set up proxy bidder same as any other auction.
I would need help in game recording buyers, if anyone is interested in Auction assistance (recording who, what and how much) it would be appreciated. Dutch auctions are difficult to manage and will be considered based on assistance available.
Dutch auction. 100m of titan ore. Highest bidder takes what he wants at his bid. Then 2nd highest bidder takes what he wants at his bid. etc.. till all items are sold.
