Author Topic: Animal Crossing Auction  (Read 4153 times)

« on: May 09, 2003, 11:26:16 AM »
Ever wanted to get rid of something you didn't want on Animal Crossing?  Want to make the maximum amount of bells possible?  Then simply auction it off!
These are the rules:
1. If an auction is NOT going on, then you may auction post an auction.
2. You must post your name on AC, your town, your item(s), and your minimum bid.
3. People post their bids in multiples of 100, 1000, and 100,000.  No wierd numbers like 3756 bells.
4. At 9:00 PM, the highest bidder gets the item for his bid.
5. NO DEADBEAT BUYERS!  Do NOT bid unless you're ready to pay it off.  No IOU's, no debts, no items as payment.  Period.
6. NO DEADBEAT SELLERS!  If you post an item, ready to auction, you're committed to selling it.  If you change your mind, do it before the first bid.  Otherwise, you're stuck.
7. Once an auction is complete, the buyer and seller give their code(s) to each other.  If one gives a false code (on purpose), they will be banned from the ACA until they either give back the item they didn't pay for along with 10,000 bells (buyer) or have to refund 110% of what the buyer payed (seller).
8. The next auction can only commence if both send codes and both say "I have my item".  Otherwise, I will barrage the person(s) with e-mails telling them that they either need to e-mail me back or post the message.
9. NO HACKING!!!  If you use a HTML loophole to make someone bid, you will pay them 110% of what you made them bid.  Otherwise, you will be banned.

It's pretty simple!  As long as you're fair, this will be fun.  Anyway, I'll show you a "quick and dirty" auction and how it works:

Post 1:

Name: Ness
Town: Onett
Item: Club Shirt, Heart Shirt, Spade Shirt, Diamond Shirt
Minimum bid: 10000 bells.

Post 2:

I bid 11000 bells.

Post 3:

I bid 20000 bells.

Post 4: (end of day)

And the winner is (buyer)
for 20000 bells.

Post 5: (seller)

Ok, here's my code:

(code)

Post 6: (buyer)

Here's mine:

(code)

Post 7: (buyer)

I have my item.

Post 8: (seller)

I have my money

Post 9: (next seller)

Name...

Get it?  Good.  5 and 6 don't have to be in that order, and neither do 8 and 9.

Have fun!

This is a good idea. Although I prefer giving/ those who give from the kindness of my/their heart.
I'm game, but I'd rather use a UC than bid. If the item doesn't have a UC and is very hard to obtain, though...

That's 'cuz we're lazy and not desperate. This auction thing's too complex, while simply trading is a lot easier. It was a good idea, though. :)

I think it is, but it has to be in bag form--like 100/1,000/3,000/10,000 bags you'd find.

I dunno... last I tried, bags of money were greyed out when it came time to choose an item to send.  I shall remain dubious.

I've never tried it, so I wouldn't know. Others have seemed to imply that you can, though, but, like I said, I dunno.
