Good idea's, some repetative.. but that's oké

I will try to make a summary, so we can put it in the beginning of this thread to make it clear to people who first view this.. Also try to make this sticky, don't know how it works, maybe this has a chance then..

Good thinking!

Yes, there only going to be in large cities. It might even be district specific.

Should be able to set a "Buy Now" price.

Already had that to

In addition to the search function, It would be good if it could be organized according to item type. Like if you want to buy amber, wood, and hides, you click on the 'crafting goods' tab, and you can see all the crafting materials up for auction. Then there would be a green, gold, purple, and blue section, and a collectible drops section.

Yes

This is because a search function won't help someone who want's something either that he doesn't know the name of or is window shopping. Say I go in saying, I want a nice green bow, 15>50, preferably with an armor mod, and whatever else is nice. Then I can go to the green items section (and if they're really organized, the bow subsection), and browse available bows.

Bold Italic is my responce. look in quote for them.

look toward the bottom of the list. an ingame auction has already been gone over, and is in the works by the gamemakers

Its been said, i think by u , that the feature its going to be in Chapter 2, i dont see it. Time is ticking when are they going to acctualy do it? The team who finished Factions its now working on Chapter 4, i dont really think they have time to make a auction house by chapter 3(hopefully chapter 3 will have one) even tho I WOULD REALLY RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOING WANT ONE. Im tired of looking for items i want on forums and stuff.

Well, here is my final version of the 'Auction House' thing..

First of all, for people who first read this thread it's about an extra trader in the larger cities to sell, buy or even price check items. This way you save time selling, and have more time actually playing the game.

Your tired of spamming your item in cities.. all want to see it, none wants to buy it?
Then here is our solution : Auction Houses.

There will be a new NPC in large cities, like storage / merchant.

Sell

You want to sell your Fellblade.
Go to the NPC in any large town and put it under Sell » Swords » Fellblades.
You give the Fellblade to the NPC who takes care of it for you until someone wants to buy it.
Enter a S/B and a possible C/O or B/O.

Buy

You want to buy a Fellblade.
Go to the NPC and look under the topic Buy » Swords » Fellblades.
You may arange the Fellblades in order of price, color or damage, etc.
Pick a Fellblade.
You can now view a 3D picture of it, incl. the stats and the S/B and a possible C/O or B/O.
C/O is 100k.

You deside to make a higher offer, so your offer will be 100k+5ecto.
Place it.

Now the one that is selling the Fellblade get's a Whisper from the NPC someone made an offer on his Fellblade.
If he accepts your offer he must go to the NPC and tell.
Else, auction goes on.

If you offer B/O for the Fellblade, the one that is selling the Fellblade get's an offer the blade is sold and he can come get his money / materials / whatever the trade was.
The NPC has the Fellblade so trade him for the B/O.

Trade done.

Price Check

Don't think I need to explain this anymore, it works the same as the rest..

PC Fellblade
I gues 100k » NPC auto-Whisper

Further rules

Auction on an item is 24 hours max.
Not sold, auction over pick up your Fellblade from the NPC or place it again.

If you want to trade for materials instead of gold, select a different B/O.

I think that's it, if I forgot something comments are welcome..
Must have forgotten something

Good luck.

Do you really need to have to go back to the auction trader to get your payment?

and also, if you sell something while you're logged out, you should get a message when you log back in on what you sold.

Yes, that makes it realistic.

Sure, but normally you'd check anyways.
