I don't mind the idea, since I think it would be beneficial for showing what people are actually willing to spend on items (by allowing people to list a fair bit under market price without risking anything, (since the price would still go up to whatever people would be willing to spend anyway). But I think there should still be a listing price/sales tax, so it wouldn't just be a way to ignore the sales tax on the item market

Selling things on auction and market are way too different.

Market have month till it is unsold

But it can have auction fee when it get sold

-2.75% 

Not bad. But you do know there is no need for this. Players can just post "live auction" with a link to forum showing the auction in the trade chat. Like there is no need for all that just do something simple

So you wanna spam trade with auction? Trade and auction way too different

It would be nice but I think it should have its own chat like how the cartel or trade or global 🤔 😅 all that work to stop spams on trade might just go pooof without that but nice idea u on to something 

I’d like to suggest an Auction Marketplace for active players, inspired by the existing Police Auction system already in the game.

 

🔨 How it could work

 

Active players would be able to put their own inventory items up for auction and let other players bid on them.

 

When creating an auction:

 

- Select an item directly from your inventory

- Select the quantity to auction

- Set a minimum starting bid

- Select the auction duration/time period

- Other players can place bids during that period

- The highest bidder receives the item when the auction ends

- If there are no bids, the item/quantity is automatically returned to the seller

- No cancellation option once an auction is listed

 

📦 Two ways to create a listing

 

1. From Inventory

Add a “List on Auction” option to inventory items.

 

The player selects:

 

Item → Quantity → Minimum Bid → Duration → Confirm Listing»

 

Having a confirmation screen would also help prevent accidental listings.

 

2. From the Auction Marketplace

Add an “Add New Listing” button at the Auction Place, allowing players to select an item from their inventory and create the auction there.

 

🎯 Why this would be useful

 

The existing Police Auction already proves that an auction-style system can work in Cartel Empire. This would basically bring a similar marketplace system to active players, giving players another way to trade valuable or unwanted inventory items.

 

It could also create a much more dynamic player-driven economy instead of items simply sitting unused in inventories.

 

Important: The no-cancel rule would prevent players from manipulating bids or removing an item after seeing how much interest it gets.

 

I think an Active Player Auction Marketplace, alongside the existing Police Auction, could be a really interesting addition

Idk why would we need this. If it was a car game with hidden condition gamble then auction would have made sense. But other than rare items, I don't see any need of auction.

It's common sense none gonna buy useless stuff anyway, and if anyone wanna sell their higher q weapon they did go for auction instead of being blocked and then their stuff being atuctioned i mean not everyone will be blocked just telling
