Next Auction Will Be On . . . 10/12 @ 7 PM EST
The ledger linked in the items post will keep track of how much gil was spent the last time. So those of you that blew all your 100k, you'll be starting the auction week with just 100k (or less, according to your character's means), while all others who saved some gil will get an additional 100k on top of what they didn't spend (or less if you feel they would not have the means). Please be responsible about this as we will be relying on faith during the auction for what people spend (and what we know of previous spenders from what's recorded on the ledger). We don't want to have to babysit people's RP, this is all just for fun and connections after all.

Market Report (9/18): Last auction saw a trend towards luxury items (jewels and gems), custom gifts, and intimate dinners as well as curios with the promise of adventure and fortune.

Suggestions: We're still feeling out the market, but as we've seen, gifts are a good way to go - trinkets, baubles, custom goods. Dinner for two also seemed to be a treat people desired to indulge in, but it may be because the item itself can be offered either as a romantic gesture or an opportunity to simply get to know a person better. The real trend seems to be about gestures and opportunities. But there's no harm in throwing a few curve balls to see what sticks - commodities, services, anything from potions to botany or mining resources. And, of course, the offer of an adventure. We'll definitely want to showcase a few more of those this next auction. It's also a good way to get your Free Company, business or organization some good publicity and notice. People would have the opportunity to work with you and/or your group through such a venture and may lend itself in turn to new connections. It may also present a good opportunity to give potential recruits a test-run.
Remember to give us your suggested starting bid! However, if you are uncertain, feel free to leave it blank and we will offer one for you.
