    Do you want to auction something off, well here is what you have to do!

    Step 1. You have to be a Supporter rank or higher
    Step 2. Find what you want to auction off and hold it in you hand
    Step 3. Type /auction [Number of items you are holding in your hand] [Starting Bid] [Bid Increment] [Time in seconds] (Let's use 5 diamonds for example: /auction 5 15 5 120 )
    Step 4: Watch and see how the auction plays out
    Step 5: If you want to cancel the auction, type /auc cancel
    Step 6: If you want to end the auction, type /auc end

    That's all you have to do to auction something off! Have fun playing! :D

    They could but some people might not know about doing /auc. So they might look in the forums

    example: auctioning a stone shovel: /auc 1 5 5 30 this would auction the shovel and its starting price would be 5 as well as the increment, and the 30=30second auction

    To make it more simple:
    /auc (quantity) (Starting price) (Increase price) (Time in seconds Max 120)
    Example: I have 10 eggs i want to auc 6 of them for 4 dollar increased by 5 for 2min
    - /auc 6 4 5 120
    If you want to cancel your auction, you can only do so before it reaches 1min. - /auc c
    To end the auction do /auc e (Whether people bid or not)
    So if someone bids and you /auc e The last person who bids gets the item with whatever price they had bid.
    If no one bid, the item will return to you.

    There are times where you /bid and it says "Automatically outbid"
    It means someone has a Max bid on it.
    You can do a max bid by doing: /bid 50 300
    ( You start your bid at 50 and when other people bid, your bid will increase until you have been outbid )

    To check what is being auctioned at the moment you can do /auc i

    :) Hope this is more efficient.
