Please,please,please don't attempt to do it alone.The best auctions are worked with three to four people running the show. Just too many things can go wrong.You need one experenced auctioneer and 2-3 more tending to the goods being sold. Also you need a vendor to sell a voucher(usually a bandage or a silver coin) for the auction item won. This will keep greedy vulture type bidders from "stealing" what others have won or,from what I saw tonite,someone buying 200 lucky coins for 4 gp. This was caused because the auctoneer tried to price the item correctly but instead the 'price' fell into the items "sellers description".
I really felt bad for this player and was wanting to help....but on the other hand I was wanting to chase down the guy that grabbed the lucky coins for 4 gp and choke him..... *sighs*....anyway,for those that would like to offer an auction for the player base,but you do not have the people to work it. I volunteer to help. I can tend the items and sales all the way up to offering a place to actually run the auction.
