TOPIC: 2020 Fixed Price Auction (unsuccessful)

2020 Fixed Price Auction (8k condensed) 3 years 8 months ago #13

Fixed price auctions are tricky.
It seems that, as only 3/8 remain, GP is close to 15/1K.

If the time you buy doesn't matter, better deals are available, as is a bulk discount.

Agree with Kakitahan on versatility commanding a premium.

Marcques Domask wrote: I'm newer to the whole auction economics, so I kept a running spreadsheet of auction prices from last year, both pre-order and normal order periods. The Wish ring appears discounted by about $10 from the average price. If you exclude two high outliers, it's about $5 off the average price.

Gold averaged a bit under $15. It hit a low of $13 at one point, but trended up after that.

So, it's not too far off from averages, although a few non-auction sales had gold at the $13 level.


That's about what I ended up doing as well, then tried to keep prices relatively close to those for an overall total of all items combined being <$7500.

I'm thinking that I will set a solid end date for this auction, so people who already have claimed items aren't kept in limbo. To that end, I'm going to say that this auction will have until August 1st to fund in order to be successful. As for the goal to determine success: I'll say that if at least the Dragon Orb, token bags and PYPs are all claimed, then even if a handful of the odds and ends are still remaining I will be calling that a success.

Thanks everyone! :)

A week left and just about all PYPs and trade goods are gone. Down to some bags of R/UC tokens, the dragon orb and a few other odds and ends!

Howdy everyone! A big thank you to everyone who did participate, though unfortunately August first has come rolling around and there are still quite a few things left unclaimed, which unfortunately means that this auction is not successful.

Hopefully I'll have a chance to try again sometime before this year's tokens cycle out, though that won't be until after we have a more definitive timeline of how next year's token run is working out.

Thanks again,
-Azzy

Thoughts on re-opening this as a super-condensed now that we have additional VTD dates dates? It looks like it's mainly the regular tokens that didn't sell. I think if you condensed those into trade goods this might go...

I definitely misjudged interest people had with regards specific tokens in the UC and R bags, though not being able to transmute in person probably didn't help either. That one is entirely my bad here.

I was worried that this week would be pretty solidly "too soon" with regards to trying again, though the interest people have shown seems to indicate otherwise. I was thinking of retrying with a more standard-styled super condensed auction to give people a more fair shot at things rather than whoever manages to fire off a PM first, given recent announcements (I'm mostly thinking of shogs here, not gunna lie). I would probably aim to have a lightning-style cutoff as well, since gauging a decent auction end date is a bit tough to determine this year and I would hate for people to be stuck in auction limbo for too long.

That being said, would people be interested still?

I'd be down for it.

maybe set the auction closing date for September 30. Gives 2 months give or take. Should get you there if it's going to happen
