GEMS Hosts an Auction - You be the Auctioneer!

[MdnightDream]

The latest Merchanting Event is here!

Be part of a professionally organized auction!

GEMS is holding a public auction on September the 25th at 9pm eastern.

This is your chance to be the auctioneer! Criers will advertise just prior to the event, large items scheduled to be sold will be published in advance, and GEMS members will be organizing. Take advantage of the largest audience you'll find. Over a hundred buyers came to the last auction.

Slots for selling are arranged by "small" and "large" items. "Small" items are items worth less than 1 mil. Slots for small items are 15k for 5 items or 25k for 10 items. Due to time restrictions, 10 item limit on the small items. Slots for large items are 50k for 1 item, unlimited about of large items can be sold per person. Large items are worth 1 mil or more.

YOU keep all the profits. YOU get a chance to sell your item to the public. YOU never have to hand an item over to us. And YOU get to set the minimum bid!

E-mail me if you'd like to purchase a slot or would like more information.

The GEMS Auction held Sunday the 25th was a great event. Thanks to everyone who came and supported us. Average room occupancy was somewhere 'tween 30 and 50! We had a lot of fun and the event lasted a lot longer than I thought it would - til about 12:30 am.

Thanks also to everyone who purchased slots to sell with us, and I'm sorry to the folks asking me on the spot at the auction if they could sell. Next time catch us before the Auction begins, hmm? ;)

Woot!
