Auction House¶

The Auction House is a player-to-player marketplace where you can list items for sale and purchase items from other players.

Opening the Auction House¶

Command	Aliases	Description

The UI displays: - Active listings from all players - Item icons, names, and quantities - Seller names - Listing prices - Time remaining before expiration - Sort and filter options

Listing Items for Sale¶

Command	Arguments	Description

Listing cooldown: 3 seconds between listings (configurable)
Minimum price: $1.00 (configurable)

Listing Fees and Taxes¶

Listing Fee: $0.00 by default (configurable by admins)
Sale Tax: 5% of sale price deducted when item sells (configurable)
Example: If your item sells for $1000, you receive $950 (5% tax = $50)

Fees as Money Sinks

Listing fees and sale taxes help prevent economy inflation by removing currency from circulation.

The Auction House UI provides several ways to find items:

By Time: Newest listings first or expiring soon
By Seller: Group listings by player name

Filtering Options¶

Confirm the purchase - the item is added to your inventory instantly

Instant Purchase

Auction House purchases are instant and cannot be refunded. Make sure you have enough inventory space and currency before buying.

Managing Your Listings¶

Viewing Your Listings¶

Command	Description
`/ah mylistings`	View all your active listings

From this UI you can: - See all items you've listed - Check time remaining - Cancel listings (item returned to your inventory) - View total listing value

Claiming Expired Items¶

Command	Description
`/ah expired`	View and claim expired (unsold) listings

When a listing expires without selling: - The item is held in the expired items storage - You must claim it manually using /ah expired - Items remain in storage until claimed

Expiration Management

Check /ah expired regularly to reclaim unsold items. Consider relisting at a lower price if items aren't selling.

Listing Duration¶

Default listing duration is 24 hours (configurable by admins). You can specify custom durations when listing:

/ah sell 1000 12 - 12 hour listing
/ah sell 1000 24 - 24 hour listing (default)
/ah sell 1000 48 - 48 hour listing

Duration Limits

Server admins may set minimum and maximum listing durations. Check with /ah sell for details.

Pricing Your Items¶

Price Checking¶

Before listing, consider:

Shop Prices: Check /shop for base item values
Other Listings: Browse existing AH listings for similar items
Item Rarity: Rare items can command premium prices
Demand: Popular items sell faster at competitive prices

Pricing Strategies¶

Competitive Pricing: Match or undercut existing listings
Premium Pricing: Set higher prices for rare or valuable items
Quick Sale: Price below shop value for fast sales
Bulk Discounts: Lower per-unit price for bulk quantities

Undercutting Strategy

Listings are often sorted by price. Undercutting the cheapest listing by a small amount can make your item appear first.

Broadcast Announcements¶

When enabled by admins, new listings are announced in chat:

Player name and item being listed
Quantity and price
Clickable link to view the listing

Broadcast Settings

Admins can enable/disable listing announcements server-wide. This helps players discover new items without constantly checking the AH.

Auction House Tips¶

Check Daily: New items are listed frequently - check regularly for deals
Price Research: Always check both shop and AH prices before buying
Relist Strategically: If items don't sell, try lowering the price or changing the duration
Bulk Sales: List common items in bulk (e.g., 64 cobblestone) for better value
Rare Item Markup: Rare or hard-to-obtain items can be priced significantly above shop value
Watch Expirations: Keep track of your listings to relist before they expire
Tax Calculation: Remember to factor in the 5% sale tax when setting prices

Troubleshooting¶

"You have too many active listings"¶

Cancel or wait for existing listings to sell/expire before creating new ones.

"Listing cooldown active"¶

Wait 3 seconds (or configured cooldown) between creating listings.

"Price too low"¶

The minimum price is $1.00 (or configured minimum). Set a higher price.

"Not enough inventory space"¶

Clear inventory space before buying items or claiming expired listings.

"Item cannot be listed"¶

Some items (quest items, soulbound items, etc.) cannot be listed on the AH.

Listing Permissions

Ensure you have permission to use the Auction House. Some servers may restrict AH access to certain ranks or require a minimum playtime.
