Auction Items
When you click on the Auctioneer you will see a blank list.
You need to first search for what types of items you want to
find. There are many possible custom search options
including: Name - Name of a specific item you're looking
for.
Level Range - Set the minimum and maximum level of the item.
For example, if you're level 30, try looking for items up to
level 30.
Useable Items - Click this box if you only want to see items
that you can currently use. That way you won't see Warrior
items if you're a Mage.
Filters
There are many filters and sub filters you apply to your
searches. For example, if you click on Weapon and press the
Search button you will receive a list of Weapons for sale.
You can dig deeper and select even more specific items using
the filters. If you don't select any filter it will show you
a random selection of items. Weapon
Armor
Container - Bags
Consumable - Things like Potions or Armor Kits
Trade Goods - Things like Gems and Metals like Bronze
Projectile - Ammo for Guns or Bows
Quiver - Bags to store Ammo
Recipe - Trade Skill Recipes
Reagent - Things used for Trade Skill Recipes
Miscellaneous - Other things people sell. Bidding on an Item
(Buying)
Select the item you wish to bid on in the Browse window. The
Quality/Name of the item will be listed with Level (Lvl),
Closes In (when the auction ends), High Bidder (current
highest bidder), and Current Bid.
Buyout Price
If the item has a Buyout price it will be listed as Buying +
a price. This is not the current bid, but instead how much
you must pay to buy the item and end the auction now. If
this price seems too high, don't worry. The price won't
reach that high unless you want to end the auction now or
someone else decides to "Buyout" the item.
Auction Length
Check out how long the auction is running. If it's running
an extremely long time, you may wish to avoid bidding on
that item. Otherwise you'll have to wait that long to get
the item.
Outbid!
If you are outbid on an auction you will receive a yellow
text message. You will also receive your bid money back in
your mailbox. You will need to bid again if you want that
item.
Bid Tab
Select the Bid Tab to see the current status of the items
you're bidding on. You will also receive yellow pop up
messages in the middle of the screen letting you know if you
were outbid or if you have won an auction.
Creating An Auction (Selling) Place Item in Auction Box
Click on the "Auctions" Tab. In the top left of that menu
under "Auction Item" there is a box to place your item. Drag
an item you wish to sell from your backpack into this box.
Set Starting Price
The auction house will suggest a starting price. You can
adjust this by setting it higher or lower. In some cases the
suggested price will be much too low for the true value of
the item, or it will be set too high. As you buy and sell
more items, you can determine a good starting price. If you
don't know, just pick the default suggested price. A low
price will attract bidders who think they can get a deal on
the item.
Set Auction Duration
It's important to realize that the longer you set the
Auction Duration, the more the deposit will be. If you set
an extremely long duration, the deposit price can be way
more than the actual value of the item. If your item sells,
you will receive your deposit back. If no one buys the item,
you'll lose your deposit. Generally it's good to pick a very
short auction time to reduce the risk.
Buyout Price (Optional)
If you want, you can set a buyout price. This is the price
at which you will instantly sell an item to a person. If
you're selling a bag and think that 85 silver is a good
price for it, you can set the buyout price at 85 silver.
However, be warned that if you set the buyout price too
high, it might discourage people from bidding because they
think your buyout price is way too high. It's up to you if
you want to use this option or not. Some people really
appreciate being able to instantly purchase an item.
Auction Successful
If someone buys the item you are selling you'll receive a
text message popup when the auction ends. Go to your mailbox
and you'll find a mail from the auction house which contains
the money. It will be lower than the sale price because of
the auction house fee was taken out of the winnings.
Auction Expired
If your item doesn't sell by the time the auction duration
is up, your auction will expire and you will lose your
deposit money. The item you put up for auction will be
returned to you from the auction house through the mail. You
have up to 29 days to get it from your mailbox. Try putting
it up for auction again at a reduced price or at another
time. If you think it won't be sold, sell it to a vendor
instead or try the trade chat channel.
Auction House Tips Auction Length
The longer you set the auction to run, the more you'll have
to pay for the deposit. You should try to set your auction
for as short of a time as possible. Otherwise the deposit
can be VERY expensive. You could also lose the deposit if
the item doesn't sell.
What to Sell?
If you think it's doubtful that another player will buy the
item, don't put it up for auction. If you do not sell the
item you will lose your deposit. You can search the current
items to see what types of items are being sold and how much
they are going for.
Additional Information Shift-click item info linking can be
used in the auction interface.
Minimum bid increment is set to 5% of the current sale
price.
Auction notifications are sent as system messages that can
be filtered in the chat interface.
Each time a bid is made on an item, a small amount of time
is added to the remaining auction duration.
Recipes you already know will not show up in the auction
listing if "Usable Items" is checked.
Common Questions Where do I find the Auction House?
NPCs with a bag sign icon run the "auction house." Ask other
players where to find them if you need help. They are
typically located very near the bank.
If I put my item up for bid and it doesn't sell do I lose my
deposit?
Yes. You will lose your deposit if the item doesn't sell.
I bought an item, how do I get it?
The item will be delivered to you in the mail. Go check your
mailbox.
How do I put an item up for Auction?
Click on the Auctioneer, then click on the "Auction" tab.
Drag the item you wish to auction into the special box. Set
the prices and options and start the auction.
How do I check the current results of my Auction?
Click on the Auctioneer and select the Auction Tab. You can
also select "Bids" to check the current status of the items
you're bidding on.
