Attending an in-game live auction is a great way to learn about the vast number of rare items the game has accumulated over the years. Whether you are a new player, a returning vet or a grizzled old hat there is much to learn by attending. Each item will be presented by the auctioneer and a brief description of the item will be given to attendees. This information can include the following:<\/p><ul><li data-xf-list-type=\"ul\">Year\/Season<\/li><li data-xf-list-type=\"ul\">Quantity<\/li><li data-xf-list-type=\"ul\">Item Hue<\/li><li data-xf-list-type=\"ul\">Any Sound or Interaction Response<\/li><li data-xf-list-type=\"ul\">Shard or Event it is from<\/li><li data-xf-list-type=\"ul\">Minimum Starting Bid<\/li><\/ul><p>Once the description is complete the item is officially open for bid. This is also an acceptable time to ask any questions you may have about the item. (We\u00a0<b>highly<\/b>\u00a0recommend you do any research needed prior to the auction) We cannot promise an answer to your question at this stage.<br \/>You may bid simply by saying your bid amount. (ex. 1M, 10, 10M, 100\/100M, 1P)<br \/>Your bid will then be acknowledged by the auctioneer. In the event of a flurry of bids in quick succession the highest bid will be acknowledged.<br \/>Once the bidding has ended the winning bidder will be announced and will be required to pay for the item at that time. This is done by coming to the auction block and beginning a trade with the auctioneer. (<b>Not paying for an item you have won will result in a permanent banishment from all future auctions<\/b>)<\/p><p>If you have any questions <strong>contact @iAmATacoSupreme on Discord<\/strong>.\u00a0 Or private message on Stratics Forums<\/p><p><b>*WE CAN FACILITATE TRANSFERRING GOLD FROM YOUR SHARD TO ATLANTIC FOR THE AUCTION*\u00a0<\/b>See end of post for information<\/p><h3><b>PROPER BIDDING ETTIQUETTE<\/b><\/h3><ul><li data-xf-list-type=\"ul\">Please leave your mount\/pets outside of the auction house.
