[center][font=baskerville]hi! i’m acorns. i started auctioning for my friends to help them out but then i just kinda kept going when people would ask/i would offer, hence why this thread exists now. i hope i can help you sell your things!
[u]info;[/u]
always open to any kinds of questions! happy to auction any item, skin, or dragon. im iffy on auctioning more than 15+ dragons at a time though. im subbed so no need to ping me. you can either post here or pm me :)
im australian so im likely not online between 3:00-14:00 fr time depending. i bump posts 1-2 times a day, often 2 times a day. at the end of the auction i like to clear out my bumps to make the posts look tidy, but typically at the end of the auction there will be 2-3 pages of me bumping.
[u]rules;[/u]
- if the auction is successful, i charge a 7.5%-10% fee! if you didn't get any bites though, you don't need to tip me.
- as a default, your auction will mention the following: a recurring snipe guard (you can choose how long but i usually say 2h), no retracting bids, a last day ping.
- i am willing to auction off anything for you, but if its really low in value (egg price for example) it might be beneficial for both you and me if you put them on the AH or just did a flat sale!
- i will send you a pinglist for your auction that you can post under the thread (in some cases i may ping myself due to schedule clashes).
- you can tip after the dragon/item is sold to the winning bid!

[center][font=baskerville][u]faq - terminology;[/u]
[u]what are the best things to auction?[/u] g1 doubles/triples (colours matter though!), xyz can work well too if its a popular combination of colours. very old dragons, ones with special features like 2 letter names, kickstarter items, custom skins, etc.
[u]what do i make my starter bid?[/u] researching through the forums, checking the AH, and even discord servers/asking other users is a great way to get a general idea of value. if you need help, i am happy to assist you in researching values but i am by no means an expert on pricing dragons! i can just provide examples i’ve found for similar dragons and leave the starter bid up to you. item/skins are a little easier to price. remember that the starter bid of an auction should be the lowest amount you’re willing to take, in case people claim starter bid and nothing else.
[u]what is an auto bid?[/u] its an amount of gems you would take immediately. so for example, you could have a dragon with a sb of 10kg and then an ab of 40kg, and if someone wants to skip the hassle of a bid war/wants the dragon right away they may take the ab. personally i don't have auto-bids because you don't really know how high some dragons can go. for skins and items people tend to put an ab up. really, putting one up though is very much up to your own preference.
[u]how long should the auction run for?[/u] i recommend 5-7 days; shorter than that and not as many people might see the auction in time, and longer than that might be too long of a wait. most users do wait for that last day ping to bid! some of my auctions will get no posts for the entire week its running up until the last day.
[u]what is a last day ping?[/u] it is what potential bidders ask for to be notified of the auction in the remaining 24 hours before it ends. it reminds users of the auction and typically why people wait to bid until the last day.
[u]what is a snipe guard?[/u] basically, if people bid leading up to the end auction date/time, a snipe guard is to make sure someone can’t just wait until the last minute to top a bid, leaving the other bidder unable to bid again because the auction is over. a snipe guard will extend the time period by a little bit to make sure that people can still get their bids in. two hours is what i typically do because it is not insanely long.
[u]what is proxy bidding?[/u] a user can bid on behalf of another user, this could be for a number of reasons. allowing proxy bidding really depends on your personal preferences.
[u]what are payment plans?[/u] a payment plan is when someone pays in installations of currency instead of all at once. it might be that they’ll pay every week, or every two weeks, up until they have enough, in which you’ll give the dragon/item by the last payment. this is also a personal preference - some users might want payment upfront, and that’s fine!
i offer to include my own scries/dressups of your dragons if you want! im happy to put yours as well. if you want examples of my dressups just ask.[/font][/center]

LilacStar hi! i think a flat sale is best since the colours are not super popular, even though its a nice date/theme. im not super good at pricing dragons as my post says, and since its an XYZ with such a specific colour combination i don't know how to look for values. good luck though!

Hi! I'd like to have an auction pls!
› what are you looking to auction?

Perhaps 2kg? It is a 1-print custom
› opt: auto buy?
Er, 5kg? lmao I have no idea.
› is payment in g/t/eggs/all okay? (name your g:t ratio if yes)
g/t/eggs/all are alright for me! Typical 1:1000k ration should be fine.
› is proxy bidding okay?
Sure!
› are payment plans/holds acceptable?
Quite fine, thou I think about a week should be max?
› do you want the snipe guard to go for 2h?
I am unsure with this, feel free to tell me your thoughts!
› when do you want the end date/time?
Perhaps in about 2 weeks?
› anything else?
Nothing I could think of!
