An actual action area?

We have the trading center, why not the auction center too?
It would be much easier for those create auctions to manage them. I can only imagine the hassle of both buyers and sellers keeping track of everything.

@lunar Your thread title says "action", lol. Just a minor error.


I mean like this is a good idea, and I agree. We should maybe have something like a auction center with helpful tools for better auction management. Constantly editing, and updating a thread can be kind of painful. There should maybe be a tool that allows a user to automatically enter the auction? Maybe.

@lunar

I 100% agree...it could be like eBay x'D

@nyan Lol yeah, users can enter a amount of coins they want to bid, and when a bid entered higher then your bid (lets just say yours lol) you'll receive a notification, and if you want, you can go back and higher yours to stay on top.

Good idea! 😸

Auctions aren't officially part of EC, so unless they are, I don't think they'd implement an auction area. :I

I do support this idea - but only if auctions are actually part of EC. Currently they're just user-based. 😉

@lunar I like it. You could put buy out prices also. But I think that if you put up a critter for auction, you get a 1 hour grace period to take it down. After that your critter goes to the highest bidder, no matter how low the final price is...

I love this idea

@lunar

@firegirl
Hey you're online! 😃



I actually think this is a good idea! Now that Eggcave has been shifting to make itself more EC oriented, and to inflate the value, I think an auction area would be super helpful.

@lunar Ooo, that's a great idea! Auctions are very hard to keep track of on your own, having a center where they're traded automatically at the end date would be awesome!

@lunar YESSS
157% support this!

@karamel thats the thing, it will probably become part of eggcave, like the trading center.

@firegirl thanks for those pings 😊

@gabrieltaft yup, you can lock in your critter, and you could bid, and the bidding time could be depending on the owner.

@pirateseaz thank you 😊

@sstwins I really agree, that's why I havent created any auctions on the forums, the chaos of it terrifies me.
