Mystra's Magical Auction
Posted: Fri Jul 22, 2016 6:32 am
And so, Ailyn Zephyr is proud to announce the 2nd Mystra's Magical Auction!!!
This is a good way to clear out some of those unnecessary magical items you may have stored about and earn some coin, and for others to perhaps find an item to aide in future adventures. It will follow similar guidelines as the 1st one that the Dweomerkeeper, Elaena, had held before.
Those wishing to submit items to the auction are encouraged to send them to Ailyn via the post before (Friday, July 29th) to be included. To submit items, please include your name on the box so that they may be kept track of and organized properly. Multiple boxes are allowed, so if you find items during the time frame, you may send those as well. All items will be identified by myself for accuracy, and enchantments will be listed in the posting of the items.
On (Friday, July 29th) the listings of all items will be posted for all to begin bidding on. The bidding period will last until (Friday, August 5th). To submit a bid, please send a letter to Ailyn with the following information:
Name: You may use an alias if you wish (Though please include your character name so I can get the stuff to you.)
ID #: Without this, I will not be able to tell what item you are bidding on.
Bid : How much your bid is
Without all three things, your bid will be void. No coin is to be sent during this period, only the bids. The list will be updated periodically with new bid amounts until the closing date. At the end of the bidding cycle, letters will be sent to each bidder on what they have won and the total amount owed. Show this letter to Ailyn along with payment to collect your items at any time after bidding ends. You may also send payment via the mail, and I will send the items to you by mail, for those that cannot catch me in person.
Rules for Bidding:
1. Bids are to be made in platinum and gold pieces only.
2. For every 10 platinum that is bid upon an item, the church will take 1 platinum(rounded down).
Example= Item #1 ends with bid of 57 platinum, 2 gold. The church will take 5 platinum pieces.
3. You may bid multiple times on the same item until the closing date. Only the highest bid will be listed in the postings.
4. Bid Fairly! Do not bid small amounts on multiple items just so you can resale/trade them away later, as this is cheating to the one who put the bid up for auction. Everyone should profit from this after all.
5. In case of a tie for an item, the first bid will be the one honored.
6. Names will not be listed with bids. Only the amounts for each bid.
7. There will be 2 postings, one here(OOC: For the enchantment values of the items as well as the current bids) and one on the message boards in the cities(For the exact look of each item)
8. Any items not bid upon will be returned to their owners via mail.
After the items and coin have been distributed, then the coin taken by the church will once again be used to host a Midnight Masquerade at a not yet set time.
(OOC: The auction is available to anyone, including those of evil alignment, even though Ailyn would not associate with those of darker paths normally. I would suggest using an alias for in-character purposes and utilizing the magical post instead of meeting in person.)
More will be add if something comes up, so keep an eye out on this post for updates. If something has been left out, or needs clarification, feel free to leave a message.
