May Auction?

[Admin Acacia]

This Sunday, May 3, was to be our May auction day.   I notice there isn't much on the auction tables.  Do you all feel we should delay it to say May 17th (after Mother's Day?)  I know a lot are busy with many things in real life, and maybe a bit more time would help.   Let us know here.

Yes, we should delay it until it is full. I'm sure people have some great stuff to throw on there. Make sure to get your stuff up on the auction, don't delay!!!

[Rocks Silivan]

I think we shouldnt delay it, alot us been waiting for it since the last one .Whether there is alot or few items I say it should go on.

[Cpt_Starfox]

Seems to me that the more items to bid on the better... and likely the more people who would come... but I don't get to make it to many auctions anyway  but.... proxy bids are a wonderful thing 

[kpnce]

i am not sure what a proxy bid is but if there are not enough items to hold an auction then i believe it should be delayed until there are other wise the purpose of it fails.

and i wont be home tomorrow *laughs*

[Rocks Silivan]

None of the other auctions were full and we still had them so it shouldnt be delayed, I and others been waiting all month for it .

[Rocks Silivan]

Auction is still on right? delay will only put us back, and not to fair.

[Caelan]

We have never held an auction when it only had 8 items up for bid...so doubtful.

A delay isn't gonna kill anyone. It will just give people more time to earn some gold and see if they have anything they want to sell. As long as the auction is held some time within the month of May, I see no issue with when it is held.

With the low player turn out to events recently, I think we need to cut the auctions down to once a month myself, but that's just me.

[Admin Acacia]

The auction will be held May 17th,  4 PM Eastern time.

[Rocks Silivan]

Ok if it is delayed I hope all auctions will be delayed unless filled then.. only fair..

[GM Feenix]

Ultimately it is the decision of the Staff and Owner as to when and where and why events such as the AUCTION  happen.

Nothing is ever fair   unless its of course  the  Spring or Fall Fair.

[Skynar]

rocks, the reason for delay on this one is 8 items.. cmon.. I know we have delayed them in the past for having more then that. 

The logic here is if there is only a small amount of items not everyone will bother coming which means less bids which means less money you make on items.  Now the flip is yes if you want to buy you can get stuff cheap.  But its been stated to me time and time again that people have plenty of ways to make money and have it so they can afford it to be more expensive. I dont agree but thats the way it is.

but yes if there isnt at least the 2 main rows of stuff filled I think it should be delayed   if that amount is there then have it.   Thi is just to few of items to have one.
