Where: The Zandalari Embassy When: Saturday 31st of August. 19:00 server-time Who: Anyone on neutral or above terms with the Zandalari. (Infiltrators might be able to get in) Event Type: Merchant / Economy / Spend your gold you fuckers GM Assistance: Acquired Antioch will be overseeing the Zandalari faction. If there are other keepers who DM other factions who wish to have faction reps / leaders come along and bid they are welcome to do so if they wish / are able "COME ONE COME ALL, TO THE EXTRAVAGANT EVENT OF A LIFETIME!" "Welcome one and all, my name is Grettik Gritbeard; MotEL, PoA, SA. Many of you may know me as the author of the Explorer's Digest in the Doldrums as well as an esteemed archaeologist of -some- renown. Many of you may recall the last Grand Doldrums Auction which, sadly, did not come to fruition due to -someone- ignoring the rules of the auction! Fortunately it is unlikely will will have that issue this time. So how does an auction work? Well for those of you who are curious, there are a few ground rules I will lay out below on this here poster: We are guests at the Zandalari Embassy, any trouble makers will be dealt with on the terms of the Zandalari. No bidding what you can't afford. All payment is required following the auction and non-payment will be dealt with -harshly- If you wish to bid when the auctioneer announces the next 'raise' in the bid, simply wave at them and they will acknowledge your bid back There will be a 'starting' bid on each item based on it's perceived value. Scrying bids will be allowed. High Priest Vani will be on standby with a scrying orb to take long-distance bids anonymously (to all bar the zandalari and auctioneer) Postal bids will be allowed. If you wish to make a set postal bid on an item simply state the item you wish to bid on and the amount. This is a gamble for you -may- win the item without having to be present (and thus receive same anonymity as a scrying bid) but on the flip side you may end up putting in a 2000 silver bid on an item that does not go further than its starting bid of 50 silver. Postal bids are to be received in advance and will be returned if it is outbid. The postal bid shall be announced at the -start- of the item in question's bidding proceedings. An auction fee of 4% of the final sale value of the lot will be deducted at the end of the auction. A refundable fee of 2% of the 'starting' bid of an item is required. If your item secures at least one bid then this 2% fee is refunded instantly. Those wishing to put an item up for the auction are required to have the item's description sent to Grettik Gritbeard as well as the lot delivered to him by no later than 6pm on the 26th of this month. Items after this time will not be made available for auction. This is to grant time for people to prepare their wallets and to establish starting bids for all items. If you are coming purely to spectate rather than bid, there will be seating for bidders and seating for spectators. Bids made from the spectator stands will be ignored. Advice for those new to the art of bidding: Be wary and size up the opposition, don't always go for the big prizes as that is what most others will, you can pick up some real bargains where other people are not bidding. Try to anticipate what other people are after and price them out of the game early You can bid on an item you don't even want just to rack up someone else's coin purse... but be warned: they may pull out and leave you with a cost for something you don't want! Putting an item up for auction? If it's common, try to have a lot of them in bulk! If it's rare, try to add a history to it or emphasize its usefulness / status! The more information on items the better! Don't forget, as the auctioneer gets a cut of the final price they will be trying their best to ramp up the value of your item! Should any of you have any questions or queries, do get in contact with Grettik Gritbeard. A letter can be sent addressed to him to Hafthor's Keep south-east of Haven and south-west of New Moonbrook upon the Isle of Opej'nor." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
