This seems fine to me. Not as scary as I was dreading.
Though there are three things that do concern me:
• Lack of ability to only buy a certain number of items. If they are selling 5000 irit and I only need 1000 and there are now lower number of sales at the time, what are we meant to do? If the issue is about price changes in bulk sales, perhaps a toggle could be added for users who don't mind selling less than the full amount? If that makes sense.
Edit: After reading a previous response, yes, an option to sell in smaller amounts would be helpful.
• Offline trading. I do not like the idea of this at all, though I know the majority would disagree with me.. How am I meant to contact someone if they are offline? I suppose there is the option of choosing someone else who is online at least? Though, this brings up another issue. I'd predict haggling to become less common with the release of an auctionhouse, which is unfortunate as that is a major part of the fun and trading experience. Why should someone bother to haggle if they can just keep their items in the auctionhouse so easily to wait for someone else to automatically buy them with no need to haggle?
• Please do not make this take up a huge area, such as a GE. I'd not want to see a GE-type structure in OSRS. What will this auctionhouse look like? Where will it be? Will it be an actual place in-game?
All in all, I can't complain too much. It's impossible to please everyone.
And I must say that I do like being able to see who I am trading with still, and the fact that there is no guide price.
