Of course the schedule is subject to change due to real life or conflict with other in game events. In the event of a schedule change the revised time will be announced in game and posted here as soon as possible.
WHERE:
The Vesper Auction House and Tavern is located in Trammel just north of the Vesper Cemetery on the road that runs between the cemetery and bank island. From the Minoc moongate, run straight down about six screens and you will run right into it.
AUCTION RULES: For attendees and bidders:
-- No casting, crafting, or irrelevant chat during the auction. Leave all mounts and pets downstairs or in the stable.
-- No shill bidding (bidding on your own items to drive up price).
-- Staff reserves the right to place bids.
-- Minimum bid for any item or lot is 1k.
-- Bid increments are as follows: up to 100k bids must be at least 1k each, from 100k to 1M at least 10k each, and 1M+ at least 100k each.
-- Payment is due immediately upon placing a winning bid.
-- Payment may be made in the form of cash/checks OR you may opt to purchase a book for the bid amount from the auction vendor behind the counter and trade the book with the cashier for the item.
--You have until the next six items have been auctioned to pay your winning bid(s), during which time you will be reminded at least once by the auction staff. If you refuse to pay, you will be banned from the auction house and the item will be re-auctioned.
For sellers:
-- There is no fee for placing items for auction.
-- There is a limit often five lots per seller per auction. If you have more and there is room, we will try to accommodate.
-- Payment will be transferred to sellers at the end of the auction whenever possible. The cashier will call you up when he/she is ready for you.
Items submitted to the auction should be submitted in the following format. It doesn't have to be exactly like the example below, but it does need the following information: your character name (that will be handling the transaction), the item, any special instructions or descriptions, and your starting bid. ICQ/out of game contact information is not required but you are encouraged to include it if you are unable to be present at the auction.
Each item or lot should have its own bag and book; items bagged together will be sold as a lot! Both bags and blank books are found on NPC provisioners.
This should go without saying, but the Vesper Auction reserves the right to eject or ban any individual from the auction at our discretion. First and/or minor offenses will likely only receive an ejection, but repeated and/or extreme behaviors will earn a ban. Behaviors likely to earn such a ban include:
-Bidding without paying.
-A pattern of breaking the auction house rules.
-A pattern of disrupting player events.
-A pattern of abusive behavior toward other players.
STAFF:
The current Vesper Auction staff consists of myself (Ivy) and Victor II. If you are uncertain that a person you are dealing with is a legitimate staff member, err on the side of caution. ICQ me (1234 98 286) for verification and/or request that the staff member step behind the auction table (only staff and trusted associates can get there).
The Vesper Auction has no fees for selling or buying items, but donations are greatly appreciated. Donations will go toward auctions and other city events.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask them here or find me in game. Thank you and happy bidding!
