The Auction House is where players sell items to the highest bidder. Every auction has a starting bid, an optional Buy Now price, and a countdown timer - when it hits zero, the top bidder wins.

Where to find it

  • Direct link: /auctions/
  • Filter active auctions by item type, rarity, and name, and sort by ending soon, newest, or price. An "Outbid" filter shows auctions where someone has beaten your bid.

Bidding

  • The first bid must at least match the starting bid. After that, each new bid must beat the current one by a minimum increment: +10 MPC under 100, +25 MPC under 1,000, +50 MPC under 5,000, and +100 MPC above that.
  • Your coins are held the moment you bid. If someone outbids you, the full amount comes straight back and you get a system message so you can respond.
  • Raising your own winning bid only charges the difference.
  • If the auction has a Buy Now price, you can pay it to end the auction instantly and take the item.
  • You cannot bid on your own auctions.

Selling

Creating auctions requires a verified email address and account level 3 - the same rule as all player-to-player trading.

  • Pick any item from your backpack (stacks allowed - you choose the quantity). Partially used items and copies already listed in your shop or locked in a trade cannot be auctioned.
  • Set a starting bid (minimum 1 MPC), an optional Buy Now price (must be higher than the starting bid), and a duration: 1, 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours.
  • The item leaves your backpack while the auction runs. You can cancel and reclaim it any time before the first bid lands - once someone bids, the auction must run its course.
  • The create page shows the item's shop price with one-click quick-price buttons at 25%, 50%, and 75% off to help you set a competitive starting bid.

When the timer ends

Ended auctions are processed within a minute. The winner's item goes straight to their backpack and the seller receives the full winning bid - the Auction House takes no cut. Both sides get a system message. If nobody bid, the item returns to your backpack and you can relist it.

Good habits

  • Sellers: use 24 or 48 hours for rare items so more players see them; short 1-6 hour auctions suit cheap items you want moved fast.
  • A Buy Now price slightly above what you would happily accept lets impatient buyers end the bidding war for you.
  • Buyers: the auction page shows the item's shop price and how much you save at the current bid - stop bidding once the discount disappears.
  • Bidding holds your coins until you are outbid or the auction ends, so keep enough free for pet food and vet visits.
