I was bored so I started clearing out some mules and decided to post my trade as auctions. The only problem is, the Ft thread's page 1 get's pushed pretty fast.

An auction kind of relies on people not only being interested, but basically, interested at the time it's on page 1.

Sure my auctions moved, but, it made me think there is an easier way, because I see plenty of auctions being posted, it seems there would be a purpose to this feature.

So I see between the search function and New Post, there's plenty of room for a New Auction feature. And there is plenty of room to add it to the thread tab's also, and the site would still retain the same aesthetics

My thinking is, the auction post feature would be set just like a trade, but you must enter a time from start to finish, and a predetermined minimum bid of at least .01, and the post's time limit wouldn't start until the first bid. Granted, I'm not sure, does the auction stay active to the second or to minute, etc., etc., etc. This is just a passing thought not a working theory.

My thinking is, the reply function should simple be a numerical entry like the gold send function, type 120 and it calls it 120fg. This way someone can't just spam a post to start the timer, and it's an auction, you don't need to talk in an auction.

I don't know, I don't design websites, maybe it's more a pain than it would ever be worth. But, I would like a function like this, and I'd imagine, it would get used considering I do see auctions fairly commonly.

Of course maybe I'm just babbling about non sense... 3:1

Its a trade and labeled as FT.
Just because theres lots of topics doesnt mean you need to create a new section call "Auction".
You can only watch the FT / ISO / Service / Price Check and not on all of them, but that's depends on your use in d2jsp.
For example, if I'm want to check what people need, I just look on the ISO tab and not on everything, same goes for services and FT.


I voted No, you just need to change your use in d2jsp trading forums.

I could see a use, but it's extremely limited.
Only benefit I see is the search function not displaying auctions.

I don't think auctions are rampant either. I could see everyone making auction threads instead of a ft thread which counters how useful your suggestion would be.

[No] cons outweigh pros imo

would never happen, and same as what yakir said :/

I see at as useful in the sense of you needed to "early bump" an auction for it to stay up until the time is done... certain times of the season there are a fuck load of auctions.

I guess not as many as before with less bots but still significant...

I also believe there is no need for the whole entering a number the way you describe... just simply add the filter. Some people would like the filtered tab just to browse potential profit packs etc etc

Voted yes but lack faith on it happening good luck!

System works as is imo.
