It depends on what's your priority, really.
If your priority is getting a house fast, then yeah. Date auction, con get a few people well-known on the server who has good connections who don't give a hoot about spending gil, and offer them like pieces of meat.
You'll rake in some huge donations, around 100k gil per for the bigger names, and the rest of the chaff are just excesses.
If your priority is making an entertaining event, then you know, don't fucking do that and instead concentrate on making a good event first, then wondering about monetization after.
'cause let's be real here - what we are talking about is monetizing RP.
