Recommended Posts

Okay guys and gals, time for week 2 of our flash auction sundays! It's simple - we have some fancy wares, and offer them all up in quick and simple auctions done live in the Deliverance K-Chat. We seem to be a little short on items to auction, so if you have something you want thrown in on the pile, please complete this form:

You will not send any items to the host selling it, we're just hosting an event! All proceeds from the auction sale goes to yourself. Please be aware that items can and will go for below market value, so be prepared to take a loss or please do not offer up a sale!

Standard explanations of rules and procedures;

 

The basic format is very simple;

  1. 3-5 minute auction starting when our host announces the start of the bidding.
  2. Bids start at 1c (unless otherwise stated by the host)
  3. You can raise each bid by however much you want, but you need to keep it to whole coppers, or more.
  4. 1 minute snipe protection.

 

Now, for those of you that just went "snipe protection??", I'll explain it briefly; Snipe protection is a protection against "snipers", also known as bidders that get in at the last possible moment of an auction to just barely raise the price and get the item they want at a way better price than they would have gotten if they were in an open bidding war. The protection extends the auction timer by a pre-set amount, from the last bid.

 

Example:

[00:03:00] <HostA> Auction ends in 1 minute!

[00:03:44] <JoeX> 37c!

 

The auction now ends at [00:04:44] instead of [00:04:00]. This continues for every additional bid in the last minute.

 

Disclaimer: Our host is the master/mistress of the court, and the auction officially ends when they says it does. This may lead to a little bit of extra time, but we reserve this right simply because making a show of it makes it more entertaining.

 

Remember to be prepared to pay what you bid, or we will be forced to ban you from further participation in our auctions (you will simply be /ignore'd by the weeks host so your bidding cannot be seen). We reserve the right to announce that a player has failed to follow through.

 

Mailing costs are paid by the buyer!
