Auction
Use the auction (auc) command to sell, bid on, and view items on the auction channel. Items are sold to the highest bidder. You can only put an item up for sale on the auction channel if nothing is currently being auctioned. To place an item for auction or to bid on an item, you must be in a designated auction location in one of the other major cities of the Realms, or within an organization's headquarters. The New Darkhaven auction house is on HELP MAP: A-Auction House. You can see the auction from any location.
Auctions will not be stopped for misbidding or overbidding, so bid carefully. Also, if the MUD crashes in mid auction, you will lose both your bidded money and the item (this will be fixed). Special thanks to Erwin Andreasen for writing the auction function. (Ported to Realms of Despair from a publicly available source.)
