a square auction block
hold live auctions
You analyze your auction block and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item type should not change."
The creator has also provided the following information:
The auction block can be used as a tool and prop for setting up your own auctions.
The auction block is LOCKED.
Alteration Guidelines:
The auction block can be altered freely as long as it still reflects being some sort of flat container with an interior and flat upper surface for displaying items for examination.
A gavel is used for messaging which can also be altered, but it must remain a "gavel" and cannot have a long or show.
Usage:
To run an auction: PUT the prize(s) (if desired) on the auction block for your customers to INSPECT and ANALYZE.
PUSH the auction block to toggle between runner-up and non-runner up modes.
BID <amount> block to set the starting bid amount.
POUND the block to begin bidding!
Bidders should BID <amount> block to up their bids.
POUND the block to end bidding.
The winning bidder will get five minutes to return with a note large enough to cover their bid, after which DROPping it in the block will give them the prize(s) you have placed on top (if any).
The profit will be placed inside the block as a note you can extract later.
Try as you might, you cannot get a good sense of whether or not the block's pockets could get any deeper, but you can tell that the block is as light as it can get.
Example:
You carefully set the auction block down and fold open its top.
You carefully place some embossed mithril arm greaves on top of a square auction block.
>push bloc
Setting the auction block to not use runner-ups during auctions.
>bid 1000000 block
Setting the starting bid at 1000000!
>pound bloc
Open the auction with a starting bid of 1000000? POUND the block again to open the bidding!
Opening bid too small? Use BID <amount> block to set a higher starting amount.
You pick up a wooden gavel and pound on the auction block, opening the bidding at 1000000 silvers!
>bid 1000000 block
Hey now, you're the auctioneer, not a bidder! :)
Anyway, item worth more than 1M so won't actually sell it..
>pound bloc
End the bidding at 1000000? POUND the block again to close the bidding.
>pound bloc
You pound a wooden gavel on the block with a loud *BANG* signalling the end of bidding!
No winning bid that time. Better luck with the next auction!
10M - sold via PM
