Help Index :: Communication :: Auction SYNTAX auction : lists items for sale auction : places an item on the auction block auction undo [slot] : removes an item placed on the auction block auction -b : shows only items you have bid on auction -s : shows only items you are selling DESCRIPTION Auction places an item on the auction block. Items will remain on the auction block for several days until a player bids. When items receive their first bid the timer is reduced to minutes. Players may bid on an item using the bid command. Bidders must have sufficient funds in their bank accounts. When the timer expires whoever placed the highest bid receives the item. If the buyer's inventory is full, the item is dropped nearby, so be sure that you have available inventory space before bidding! If noone has bid on the item it is returned to the seller. If either seller or buyer has quit the game the transaction still occurs with the player file being modified as appropriate. Gold is only transfered between bank accounts so if an item is sold the seller's bank account will be credited with the bid price (minus the daemon'e fee of 5%) and the buyer's debited. The auction undo command removes an item from the block assuming it is issued shortly after the item is auctioned. You may set how much information you receive over the info channel about auction with iflag auction. Level 1 means you only receive a message when an item is placed on the block. Level 2 adds messages for the selling of items. Level 3 is all messages including bids on items. See 'help repair' for an explanation of the abbreviations that appear under the Condition column.
