Ahoy all, Now on regular occasions people post here selling or buying items and such. Now when people are searching for these it can take a while and it is hard to know whether that pirate can be trusted such as not paying up or not delivering items - yes i know it can be a direct trade but some may set up other methods or deliver alternatives. What are you thinking of making? As the title suggests i am thinking of making a web based auction house that will allow buyers to post their items with a Buy It Now as well as a minimum bid and maybe a maximum bid. I was also thinking of implementing a pirate rating system so you can spot the good from the bad. I was also looking on speaking to senior OM's to try and get the sub-domain http://auctions.puzzlepirates.com to redirect to the auction house As i do not have any access to user accounts on PP i cannot bind it to PP accounts the only validation i could do is check the pirate name against the ocean and possibly ask a question or two regarding that pirate. What about QM3 you was working on? That is still in the design phase and still looking on designers and artists for that. This is just an idea, if you have any questions please do ask. If i am to get 20+ requesting me to do this - i will begin working on it. But just remember, i do work a 40 hour week too so it wont be straight away. (2/20 Requests) Please note, this is likely to be hosted on a free server with a free domain name If anyone has any other ideas on how to validate pirates, please do say. Thank you, Hirsty F.A.Q No questions asked yet! ---------------------------------------- Hirsty on Cobalt Ocean ---------------------------------------- [Edit 5 times, last edit by hirsty at Aug 29, 2013 11:21:10 PM] |

I love the idea - an auction house is probably my most wanted in-game thingy. However - I've seen out-of-game auction houses in other games, and they tend to suffer from disuse. As such, do you have any ideas to make sure people use it? (Or does anyone else? I would give them, if I had them, alas.) I'm not requesting it (yet) - I don't want to see you go to a ton of effort then not have it be populated. ---------------------------------------- Fujiko on Cerulean.

Well it is pretty hard to get scammed. Because you still get to do the trade window. ---------------------------------------- ~Twittly~ on Avatar by Yumisa! Check out my gallery of other avatars |

and this is where the rating system will come into play if a pirate is not true to their auction others would give them a low rating ---------------------------------------- Hirsty on Cobalt Ocean |

I also love the idea. Maybe to implement it we could post our auction link in the bazaar? Would this be like ebay or like amazon? ;) I love ebay I have a 100% rating there ooooh yeah!

I'm not sure but didn't something like that exist some time ago? http://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/Pirate_Auction_House There was something like this on Indigo too back in the days and it didn't get much used (only in the beginning) I don't want to discourage you, but the best way to have the devs build an ingame AH as the other probably won't work that great. ---------------------------------------- Locu on Cerulean and Opal (and some other Oceans) Check the Rack at Phakey's Tailor Stall on Tinga for nice clothes!
