I get a lot of messages about my 1mp auctions, so I thought I would post a blog about it for the people who were wondering.
FAQ's;
Do you do 1mp auctions everyday?
No, there never really is a time frame between my 1mp auctions. I usually just post them whenever I come across items. If you don't want to miss one, subscribe to my auctions.
It could be multiple sets of auctions in one day, or it could be days before I do another one.
What do you auction?
Everything. Plushies, DVDs, CD's, gourmets, etc. When I start the auctions, it's usually a variety of items. I try to put up things that people might find useful.
Why do you do 1mp auctions, when you can sell them for more?
I'm not doing it for profit, I do them for other people to have a chance to get something they're missing. Like collection items for their pets, or stuff for their wardrobe. Since I cannot possibly reach every player to send them something they might not have, I figured auctions were the easiest way. It does still cost the other player, but a few MP compared to items that are worth MUCH more seems minuscule to me.
Are all your auctions 1mp auctions?
No! I auction other things for profit as well. If you subscribe to my auctions, it will not always be the 1mp ones that you get alerts for.
What's the most expensive thing you've auctioned?
Honestly, I have no idea. Maybe a few million? Maybe more, who knows.
How long do you put the auctions up for?
The time I put them up for varies. I've done them for 15 minutes, and I've done some for 12 hours, as well as the time lots between those two (1hr, 4hrs, etc.)I haven't gone past 12 hours, and I'm not sure I ever will. When I do them for 12 hours it's usually nighttime where I am at, so I am trying to make sure other players have a chance to see them.
Do you always sell everything in your 1mp auctions?
Actually, no. Surprising enough, players seem to avoid certain items. I've noticed it's usually items that are worth 10k and under and non-collection items.
What are the most bid on items that you have put up?
Magazines, newspapers, clothing, stamps, and anything that's worth 100k+
Collection items seem to be the most "fought over" during the auctions. (When players keep overbidding each other)
