Auction rules and system:

• These auctions are open only to players who are Lvl 350 and below. Furthermore, anyone caught cheating that limit in a way or another will be permanently banned from the auctions.
• However, if you are above Lvl350 you still can submit items for to be auctioned. The limit really applies only to bidding.
• Unlike Super's or Kedama's auctions, there is no extended time, unless an item reaches the quick bid value. So bid accordingly.
• These auctions last one whole week. Unsold items are displayed the next week.
• "Sniping" is tolerated, but any kind of abuse will result in one or several "strikes".
• There is no proxy bidding or automatic update for now. Such things will come later, if these auctions come to a success. So try to keep up with the pace by yourself, as I am likely not to update the currently winning bids for 1-2 days or even more.
• Valid bids are in unedited posts only. Therefore you can cancel your bid by editing your post.
• However, any bid that has been tracked in the original post is definitive. So don't try to screw around.
• Once you have won an item, you will receive it in your MoogleMail with a CoD. You have five days (and not one more minute) to detach the item from the MoogleMail, from the moment you received it in your MoogleMail. Failing to do so will add three strikes to your counter.
• After five strikes, you are banned from the auctions. Any bad behavior will be punished with one or several strikes, depending on the severity of the action. You will lose one strike per month elapsed since the last strike you received.
• In a general way, these auctions are designed to help low/mid level players acquiring materials and equipments in adequation to their needs and their modest incomes, by protecting them from the steamrolling wallets of high level players. This is why the size of the material packs are limited, different start prices and a quick bid system.

Bidding:

• You will see two prices for each item: the start price and the quick bid price. Note that some items may not have any quick bid value.
• Bidding happens normally (until the end of the auction) between the start price and the quick bid price, or if there isn't any quick bid value.
• Once the bids on an item reached the quick bid value (if there is any), the normal auction duration system is canceled for that item. The bids on that item will last only one day after the last bid on that item. Each subsequent bid will reset that one day counter, so try to bid your highest value as soon as possible if you don't want the bidding to drag on.
• The quick bid mechanism cannot, however, make the bids on an item stop before 3 days after the beginning of the auctions. This is a needed to prevent players from "early sniping" the desired items straight from the start of the auctions
• Due to that quick bid value, you are encouraged to bid your maximum amount as soon as possible after the beginning of the auctions.
• Bidding has to use the following example:"Mat01 100k"
• The minimum increment of your bids is:
  -1k below 10k
  -5k when between 10k and 50k
  -10k when between 50k and 100k
  -20k when between 100k and 500k
  -50k beyond 500k
• The bids should always be a multiple of these increments. Any bid that fails to abide this rule will be conwidered as void.
  Example: a bid of 230k will be void, as it should be either 220k or 240k.

Submitting items for the auctions:
The following items are eligible to be auctioned here:

• Low grades in packs of 25, 50, 100 or 250. Mid grades and high grades in packs of 25, 50 or 100. Submit several packs if needed.
• Bindings and rares (defense matrix modulator, crystallized phason, shade fragment, repurposed actuator) in packs of 1, 2 or 5.
• Monster food in packs of 500, 1000 or 2500. Again, submit several packs if needed.

Anything not in this list will not be accepted.
If your item fits in this list, then feel free to send me the item via MoogleMail: it will remain in my MoogleMail until the auction it is in starts, at which point I will detach it to put in my inventory. If your item failed to sell, it being displayed in the next auction or returned to you will be at my own discretion, but usually I will give them 3-4 weeks.
You can also request to display it for X weeks when sending the item.
Please do note that I will take a 10% for every sale.

Due to the system being quite new, I will be the one to decide the start price and the quick bid price of your items. Just trust me in that I will chose these prices to make sure your item will neither sell for too low nor never sell at all.

Aside from this, don't hesitate to ask for my advice.

Strikes / banned from the auctions:
