There are now limits on how I can post that auctions are updated, as well as how many can be running at one time. In order to try and follow the trade rules, I am making some changes:
As always, items are grouped into the following categories:
A: Births and General Rares
B: Food and Drink-Related Items
C: Easter, July 4th, & Christmas 2010 Items
D: Bulk Lot Rares
E: Rare Clothing and Jewelery
F: AOS Clothing
G: Slime-dyed Items
H: EM Sashes
I: Sigil Items
J: Armor, Shields, & Weapons
K: Armor/Weapon Suits and Sets
L: Rubble
M: Double Exceptional, Sewn, Made, and [Exceptional] Items
N: "Of Exceptional Quality" Items
O: Containers
P: High End and Whispering Roses
Q: AOS and Other Roses
R: "Library"-related Items
S: Bugged Items
T: Deeds and Tokens

V: "Old-school" Items, Pre-Patch Items, Items with Charges
W: Costumes
X: Bulk Lot Dyes and Commodities
Y: Spawning and Store Items
Z: Veteran Items
[hr][/hr]
Auction Rules:
Minimum bids/increments (unless otherwise specified at the top of any specific auction):
Gentlemen's Rule: The bid increments are intended to avoid "+1gp" that lasts all night. They are not intended to cause otherwise well-intentioned bid increases to fail. (Example: 50m raise to 52m, the 52m bid is invalidated due to not being +3m.) Therefore, if there is a case where a bid increase is invalid in this manner, the person with the invalid bid MUST be given notice so that they can correct their bid. Anyone can post that heads up, but notice must be given. Once notice is given, if we are in 10-minute rule, the 10 minutes starts anew from when that notice was posted. If no notice is given, then that bid can be treated as valid. (Ie, 50m > 52m, the 52m would still win.) If notice IS given, and the bid is not fixed, then that bid is invalid. (Ie, 50m > 52m, the 50m bid would win.) In other words, if someone outbids you, but they did not raise the bid enough, you have to tell them; you cannot win simply by waiting for the 10 minutes to end and their bid to be invalidated by default.
Due to the size of these auctions, items will take a day or two to bag up for the winners. I will post below when items are ready for pickup.
For anyone who does not use ICQ or some other instant messaging platform, contact me and I will make arrangements with you - please make sure that you have access to a mailbox somewhere on Atlantic where I can deliver your items.
No private bids will be accepted. All bids must be posted in this thread.
Proxies are permitted; if you need a proxy, please feel free to ICQ me. However, given the size of these auctions, and the number of ICQs I receive daily, if you can bid for yourself, please do. Also, contact me early - for any auction, I stop accepting proxy requests 1 hour before the end of that auction. Important: I will confirm all proxy requests. If you ICQ or PM me to ask for a proxy, and I do not reply confirming it, assume that I did not receive it - please send the request again! I make every effort to post any proxy bids, but I make no guarantees.
Effective starting with auction #43: For any proxy bid which I place, the minimum I will raise per proxy bid is 5m, or higher as required by the minimum increment rules.
Bids are accepted in the order they are placed. Any bids placed which set a specific time, or other condition under which they will become effective, I will treat as a bid without conditions. Any proxies under my control will similarly be entered when my time permits, not on any specific schedule.
For the majority of the items in this auction, I am not the owner, but merely the auctioneer. I reserve the right to bid on any items not my own.
The normal 10 minute rule will apply. The auction for that individual item will continue until ten minutes elapses with no further bids. The timestamp on the forum posts will be the deciding timer.
All reserves are firm. However, you can feel free to post an offer below reserve; at the end of the auction, any such offers will be presented to the sellers for them to accept or decline.
'Range bids' ("lots 10 through 100 - 100k") are definitely encouraged.
No bid retractions will be allowed. Bids must not be edited after they are posted. Anyone caught modifying or retracting bids will face possible consequences including bans from future auctions.
Payment will be accepted only on Atlantic. If you can only pay on another shard, please contact me prior to the end of the auction to see if arrangements can be made. Items will be delivered on Atlantic regardless of where payment occurs. You are expected to pay within one week of the end of any particular auction.
[hr][/hr]
The following people have had their bans on bidding expire. You may again bid, effective January 2017. Failure to pay promptly for your wins will result in a reinstatement of your ban.
With all of that boilerplate out of the way, on with the auctions!
Good luck to all!

There are now limits on how I can post that auctions are updated, as well as how many can be running at one time. In order to try and follow the trade rules, I am making some changes:
- Other than the rose auction, I will be limiting auctions to roughly 120 or fewer lots per auction. There will be multiple auctions for some category, such as rubble, rather than just one huge auction.
- New auctions will be posted as old ones close.
- All of the auctions will be linked to from this post so they can be easily found. If you want an easy URL to remember, despell.xyz links to this page.
- I will be posting the rules and boilerplate only here, then linking back to here from each auction.
- Because I cannot post a "all bids updated" post without breaking the rules, at the top of each auction I will link to the last updated bid's post.
- As I have a 3-month old to take care of, I may not be available at the end of any particular auction without notice. All auctions will end at the posted date and time. If I am not present when an auction ends, I will close the auction out as soon afterwards as is possible.
- Any replies to any auction thread by myself which post about my not being able to be present for the end of an auction, which contain any bids by myself, or which answer questions asked by bidders, are intended as solely informational posts, and are not intended to be *bump* posts.
- Finally, please note that my ICQ number has changed. The new # is 671-521-780.

- Minimum bid: 100k (unless otherwise specified)
- High bid is lower than 2m: minimum 100k increments
- High bid is between 2m and 5m: minimum 500k increments

- High bid is between 250m and 500m: minimum 10m increments
- High bid is above 500m: minimum 25m increments

In other words, if someone outbids you, but they did not raise the bid enough, you have to tell them; you cannot win simply by waiting for the 10 minutes to end and their bid to be invalidated by default.
Due to the size of these auctions, items will take a day or two to bag up for the winners. I will post below when items are ready for pickup.
For anyone who does not use ICQ or some other instant messaging platform, contact me and I will make arrangements with you - please make sure that you have access to a mailbox somewhere on Atlantic where I can deliver your items.
No private bids will be accepted. All bids must be posted in this thread.
Proxies are permitted; if you need a proxy, please feel free to ICQ me. However, given the size of these auctions, and the number of ICQs I receive daily, if you can bid for yourself, please do. Also, contact me early - for any auction, I stop accepting proxy requests 1 hour before the end of that auction. Important: I will confirm all proxy requests. If you ICQ or PM me to ask for a proxy, and I do not reply confirming it, assume that I did not receive it - please send the request again! I make every effort to post any proxy bids, but I make no guarantees.
Effective starting with auction #43: For any proxy bid which I place, the minimum I will raise per proxy bid is 5m, or higher as required by the minimum increment rules.
Bids are accepted in the order they are placed. Any bids placed which set a specific time, or other condition under which they will become effective, I will treat as a bid without conditions. Any proxies under my control will similarly be entered when my time permits, not on any specific schedule.
For the majority of the items in this auction, I am not the owner, but merely the auctioneer. I reserve the right to bid on any items not my own.
The normal 10 minute rule will apply. The auction for that individual item will continue until ten minutes elapses with no further bids. The timestamp on the forum posts will be the deciding timer.
All reserves are firm. However, you can feel free to post an offer below reserve; at the end of the auction, any such offers will be presented to the sellers for them to accept or decline.
'Range bids' ("lots 10 through 100 - 100k") are definitely encouraged.
No bid retractions will be allowed. Bids must not be edited after they are posted. Anyone caught modifying or retracting bids will face possible consequences including bans from future auctions.
Payment will be accepted only on Atlantic. If you can only pay on another shard, please contact me prior to the end of the auction to see if arrangements can be made. Items will be delivered on Atlantic regardless of where payment occurs. You are expected to pay within one week of the end of any particular auction.
