Everyone sees ads for auctions in the sales chat, right? Some of you probably have even hosted auctions, yourselves. Having to update it manually as often as possible, and having to worry about losing track, or people backing out… really annoying, right? Well this may* be the solution!

If an ‘Auctions’ tab was added to the trade center, it would make things much more convenient. The host can set an exchange rate for sb to gb, and even select items to accept as currency (and set their value.) This way, it can automatically update if one person bids 1gb, then someone bids 2000sb, and then a GOP, etc.

The item/currency that the bidder bids will be ‘put aside’ just like the way it is when you offer it in a trade. This will keep people from bidding things that they don’t actually have. When they are outbid, the items/currency would be refunded.

The host can also have the option of adding a buyout to their auctions. They can set it as a mix of currency, or just one. Do you think they should have the ability to disable this option at any time?

What do you think? I’m open to suggestions! Oh, and if you don’t support, please tell me why :) I’m open to all feedback.
