The Grand Auction
Please read the rules below, especially how to make a valid bid or your bid does not count!
All skins have now been sold! I'll leave this thread open for future reference.
Contact: Bogul#6397 on Discord for questions.
I do NOT have a fixed schedule for updating the ask prices, but you can assume I will do it every few days.
I have decided to sell these items below in a dutch auction style.
This means that in certain increments the asking-price will drop until a first bid is made, then a normal auction starts where everyone can out-bid the previous offer.
All items are located in Caerleon!
Next item-package for auction:
Recruiter's White Tiger & Recruiter's Merlyn Cube
The following packages will be up for auction in the following order:

- Make sure to bookmark this thread to be notified about bids and updates!
- In order to make a bid on a skin, you must post a screenshot of a character you control with enough Silver to cover the bid-price into this thread.
- The character name and the Silver amount must be visible!
- Please put the bid amount you are confirming into the answer as well.
- There is a sniper-rule in place:
- Once someone makes a valid first bid or outbids someone else, a 24 hour sniping-protection period will start.
- The sniping-protection period begins at the forum-timestamp of the last valid bid and ends 24-hours after the last valid bid.
- The sniping-protection period begins at the forum-timestamp of the last valid bid and ends 24-hours after the last valid bid.
- During the sniping-protection period anyone can outbid the current bid, if they post a valid bid (screenshot) into this thread.
- Outbidding someone else is only permitted in the bid-step-level increments. If the bid-step-level is 5m and the previous bid is 500m, the next bid allowed is 505m.
- Subsequent increases of their bid to out-bid someone else do not need a screenshot again, but the first screenshot must show that you have enough silver to cover the bid.
- Outbidding someone else is only permitted in the bid-step-level increments. If the bid-step-level is 5m and the previous bid is 500m, the next bid allowed is 505m.
- If during the sniping protection period multiple valid bids are posted, the item auction price will increase one bid-step-level with every bid and the 24-hour sniping period will move to 24 hours after the last valid bid in the thread.
- If during the sniping protection period (timestamp of last valid bid + 24hours), no new bids are posted, the auction is concluded.
- If this is confusing, look at the example below.
- Once someone makes a valid first bid or outbids someone else, a 24 hour sniping-protection period will start.
- Let's say the price of an item ticks down over a few days and arrives at 500m Silver.
- The noted price-steps are set to 5m per bid.
- The noted price-steps are set to 5m per bid.
- Player A decides this is a reasonable price for him and he posts a valid bid (of 500m) as a response to this thread.
- The time of the post is 14:35. The sniper-rule is now in effect until 14:35 the following day (24 hours).
- Player B wants to outbid the curent bid and posts a bid at the same day of the first bid at 16:25.
- Other participants including Player A now have time until 16:25 of the next day to outbid Player B.
- If during the 24 hours after the 16:25 bid anyone else makes a bid, lets say Player C at 19:45, the new end of auction time is on the second day at 19:45 -> 24hours later.
- This repeats indefinately. If I sense shenanigans or manipulation attempts I reserve the right to stop the bidding at any time and restart the auction or exclude someone from bidding.
- Other participants including Player A now have time until 16:25 of the next day to outbid Player B.
Example of a valid bid:
- you confirm the price in the message, your character name is visible, the character has enough silver (or gold) to cover the purchase price and it shows the a popular area in game with a few hundred players, like a city or portal town
- "I confirm my bid for the Direboar Skin at 50m."
