    Attention Auction enthusiasts,


    We are running another Arkoin auction. In this auction we will release items only available from Planet Arkadia. These items are limited and only a select few have already been released over the years.

    This thread will be updated during the year with new and exciting auctions, so keep checking back.

    We invite you to participate in this auction and wish you the best of luck at acquiring the desired item. Prepare your bids because there will be fierce competition.


    Arkoin Bidding Structure
    Just a price diagram of the cost of Arkoins (Excluding Mark Up).

    TT of 1 Arkoin = 0.01 PED (TT)

    1000 Arkoins = 10.00 PED (TT)
    5000 Arkoins = 50.00 PED (TT)
    10 000 Arkoins = 100 PED (TT)
    50 000 Arkoins = 500 PED (TT)
    100 000 Arkoins = 1000 PED (TT)

    This is to show to those who are experiencing the Arkoin Auction for the first time how much it costs (TT) value to partake in the increments.​

    Rules

    1. A variety of items will be periodically auctioned during the Arkadia Arkoin Auction 2019.
    2. The auctions will occur entirely here, on Planet Arkadia Forum, and not in the in-game auction system.
    3. Bids will only be accepted in Arkoins.
    4. Minimum bid increment 1000 Arkoins.
    5. Bids of any items other than Arkoins (eg PED) will be deemed invalid.
    6. For each item being auctioned:
      • The item will feature in a new auction thread of its own
      • That auction will be announced in this thread, with a link
      • The auction will begin when it is listed
      • There will be no buyout bid amount
      • For the first four (4) weeks after the relevant auction thread is published, the auction will remain open.
      • After the first four weeks, the auction will then end when a bid remains the top bid for a period of 24 hrs
      • Such a 24 hr period will be taken to have begun no earlier than four (4) weeks after the auction thread is published
      • The winner is required to contact Dylan | Arkadia to arrange for trade or collection of auctioned item, within one week of the end of the auction.
      • If the winner of the auction fails to collect their award within the aforementioned one week of the end of the auction, the item will be awarded to the next highest bidder.
    7. The potential issue has been raised that somebody could bid a million bajillion Arkoins that they don't have, with the plan of winning the auction, not claiming their prize, and having the prize go to their friend, the second bidder with a very small bid.
      • This is a great point, and we appreciate it having been raised.
      • Arkadia Studios will at its discretion check that interesting bids are backed by an actual Arkoin balance.
      • Arkadia Studios will announce a bid to be invalid on such grounds if deemed necessary.
      • Please note, "million bajillion" is not a real number, though legitimate attempts to bid this high are of course encouraged.
      • Bidders must have the Arkoins in their possession as spot checks will be made by Arkadia Studios/Mindark
    8. To avoid potential confusion, all bidders must ensure that their full in-game avatar name is visible by stating it in the actual bid post with the amount of Arkoins that they are bidding with.
    9. Won Items will be sent after winning parties have contacted Dylan | Arkadia to arrange for trade or collection of auctioned item.
    Please note that all active auctions will be in the second post and all closed auctions will be in the third post.

    Keep in mind that in the original auction run of Firebird's that not all of them sold, thus no new ones were produced for this Arkoin auction. The same amount are out there that there originally was, they have just been made available again as the originals were not relisted after a certain period.

    I knew I was setting myself up for that one lol.

    nice lowering of the start bid. Since there's a bunch of alpha core cards in the community that are not yet full decks, will you be creating a similar auction or npc trader for alpha core cards?

    Could we please get the original post updated to confirm that the Auctions are now closed, and also a confirmation that the trades occurred within the stipulated rules period of 1 week and that the people who had the second place bids are not required to now contact yourself instead?

    With thanks and best wishes for your weekend!
