Covian Auction House?

[qom_riyadh]

Seeing the interest in yesterdays auction (and incredible bidding), I'd like to ask you about something:

Would you people be interested in regular auctions, just like the ones that Ea&E are hosting, but in our town?

I mean to actually earn some cash for yeself, with reserve prices and all that shizz.

Whatcha think?

[userjosh5368]

Yeah would bring, an atmosphere and its a good laugh, plus you can rid of pointless things

[Zoie Hayden]

I'm up for it as long as there are some standard rules and whatnot. Some of the bidding last night was pretty silly (silly as in funny, not stupid), hehe 

[qom_riyadh]

Yes of course, Zoie. Like defined minimum bid increase and stuff like that.

Why not use the town hall instead?

Why not use the town hall instead?

Yes, it is an option, of course. I'm asking about idea rather than a specific place.

[Hoagie]

While I don't think it warrents its own building, regular auctions would be good fun.

[Khaelieth]

Agree with Hoagie.

[Marcus Kobra]

I never get to play therfore my opinions may not count. I second the motion for auctions but these will be IC of course? or rather for geting rid of the "strange" things in yer attic like glowy armor bits and flamer swords??

[Drachir]

I vote Yes, and agree with Hoagie also. It is good fun (although I didn't attend last night's auction, but have attended RP auctions in the past), and it is a good way to get some money into the Barony's coffers

However, if I remember correctly, the idea was thought of about a year back, and was started up, but attendance was poor pretty much all the time :|

[Kas Valentine]

S'a good idea I reckon, I just liked watching nevermind bidding !

[Moraine DiGoraz]

I think it's a great idea although I think the whole thing should be in character.
Ofcourse any item could be sold, but we'd have to be in character about it

Ethereal horse - This mighty fine antique statue of a... horse.
Ornament of the Magician - This nice erm, blue-ish bracelet...

[qom_riyadh]

Ofcourse the auctions are meant to fully comply with BoC rules. IC only.

Ethereal horse - This mighty fine antique statue of a... horse.
Ornament of the Magician - This nice erm, blue-ish bracelet...

According to the above, this won't do.

Techincally, if it's not to unorthodox, it might grow to become somewhat big if selling magical items, while in character of course. It might turn more into just that and people might just stop putting up RP things or normal items if people save their money for the big magical things.

[Anari/Gareck Hallows]

i love the idea but i agree with having no magical items... it would ruin the IC atmosphere and stray blues will undoubtedly come and ruin things if that started to happen methinks...
