Hi sandycovians,
Since yesterday this thread forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/27332-Auction-channel-(G3)-Rules appeared on forum , some players have attempted to do an auction. No with a lot of succes so far, mainly because the auction is announced at the last moment.
I think that when it is well organized it could be a fun thing to do.... so as an experiment I will hold an auction this evening.
Time: 21.30 CET/ 20.30 GMT/ 22.30 EET
Where: G3 Sandycove
What: On auction will be:
1 More Secluded experiments (adventure)
1 Nords (adventure)
1 Dark Castle (building: adds 100 to your pop limit)
1 Pirates residence (building: adds 50 to your pop limit)
1 2000 Gold ore refill
How is it going to work?
At 20.30 GMT I will welcome all that want to take part in the auction.
Next i will tell you again what the rules are.
Then I will announce the item on auction , then the bidding time starts.
Bidding time will be minimal 3 minutes, maximum 4 minutes, somewhere between 3 and 4 minutes i will say STOP!!!
At that moment the bidding stops and the item will go to the highest bidder.
In whisper i will contact the person with the highest bid to arrange the transfer of the goods (wich is offcourse easier when you are allready on my friendslist)
When i dealed with that i will call the next item on sale, followed by Start and the proces starts all over.
Because its an experiment , and i want it to be interesting for everyone I will have a minimum price of 1 gc.
So all bidding starts at 1 GC. There is no maximum price, that is up to you as bidders
All offers have to be in GoldCoins (this to avoid discussions if a bid of 1000 granite is or isnt higher then a bid of 1900 gc)
WARNING: Make sure you make serious offers, when you make the highest bid, and fail to make the trade, I will have to auction the same object again, and all others will know you didnt keep your word, wich will do you no good in trading in general
Only offers in G3 are accepted, no whispers !!!
No pre auction bidding !!! All Bids start at 20.30 GMT, iff you are not online at that time, have a friend or guildie bid for you, make sure they know what your maximum price is, and that they can do the trade for you.
I hope this will be a fun experiment, and invite all of you who are interested.
