So far it seems people are mostly opposed to offline trading.
Remove the feature to trade offline and I could see this project being a success.

The survey we held shows the opposite, in that 68% of votes wanted some sort of functionality to trade when offline. Perhaps we could limit offers to staying in the auction house for no longer than a week or something?

make it 24 or 48 hours

I would say 48 hours is long enough. Longer than that and prices could have changed dramatically. Unless the person goes on vacation and wants to leave the offer up longer so the items can sell while they are away. Hi.

The problem with allowing players to only buy part of an offer is that it might impact on the price you can sell the stack of items for.

If there is a demand for large amounts of an item then you might be able to sell a stack of 1,000 for more each than a stack of 100. That might mean if someone buys 500 at the asking price then it will be more difficult to sell the remaining 500 at that price.

However, would giving each seller the option to decide whether they can sell their stack of items in just one sale or piecemeal solve the problem?

No solution is perfect, but I like the idea of the seller deciding if they want to sell * or the full stack, so my vote goes for giving the seller the option.

In fact, I would suggest go further.

Give the seller a buy X price and a buy the full stack price at the same time.

So, say I am selling 200 chef's delight.

I could put up my offer with the options:
Buy 1 for 25,000 GP.
Buy 5 for 100k or 20,000 each
Buy 5+ for 15,000 each.

I realise this complicates it a little but it might preserve the prices for bulk sales while allowing for buy X amount at the same time. Hi.

honestly i was looking forward to the summer...but now these last two things mod mat k brought kind of ruined it....new skill sucks, and auction house doesnt seem to fit the game. like i said im not the crazy old schooler i do like the fact that they are trying to make things better but i dont feel like these ideas are great. also bounty hunter and all these other affects to the wildy? what about quests i would like to see more quests, i would also like to see while guthix sleep come back.. how bout more bosses that doesnt include being in the wildy? that would be nice.

Indeed, an in-game auction house would be much better than General Exchange. But I say, "No thanks," to both!

Thanks to the mods for their consideration for their players. You are clearly listening. :)

Players can visit the auction house and either put items up for sale or buy items, by opening the Auction House interface.

Better than the G.E. Will the auction house have its own "place" or building? Would be cool to have a new market thingy somewhere.

I would like to know as well, Does the auction house involve a new building and NPC(s) in the world of RuneScape ? This sounds like it would change RuneScape's legend or story. What are accommodations for this?

You rock, OSRS mod team!! :)

~Katsumii A lovely little level 3.

Could there be a way to sell multiple items together in a single lot?

For example, quest kits, where the buyer has to buy everything in the lot, which would have all the items needed to complete a quest.

Or armour sets, where the buyer would need to buy the legs, platebody, full helm, and shield together.

Or fletching kits, where the seller includes feather and unfinished bolts together, or unfinished bows and bowstring together, etc.

Or a random group of items as a bank sale, where the player has to buy everything in the lot together or nothing?

I think that would be a great way to sell off some hard to sell items, or sell get a bargain on some things by buying as a group instead of having to buy or sell one item at a time.

Like it might be hard to sell arrowshafts alone, but pair them with feathers and they could sell easily.

So, I'd like a way to group items together which may seem random into lots to sell together in one sale. Hi.

10/10 would support.

Though I feel like something a bit extra should be added to prevent some manipulation.

Maybe if your items don't sell after 7 days, you should be required to pay a percentage of your offered price to be able to reclaim them and attempt to re-sell them.

So if I had 10 snap seeds and tried to sell for 1m each, I'd maybe need to pay 100k to reclaim them after 7 days because obviously nobody is going to buy them, and this would HOPEFULLY prevent players from trying to manipulate the prices. seems like a great idea! but cant they just remove it before to avoid getting the charge? would be nice if something was put in but thats too much time i think maybe allow to place certain items certain times idk.

I had criticisms when I first read it, but then I began to think about how this actually sounds good and unique to GE. There are a few things I dislike slightly, like the whole adding people, and seeing everyone's name, and selling all items in a bundle, but I guess it'll have to work that way if it isn't GE...
