The "How to Bid in & Run an Auction" Guide

[Hekomi]

Sure thing. Minaethiel suggested a "What not to do" section too which I'll add later tonight. I'll extend the scamming section too, as you noted. c: Thanks.

And I'm glad you like it Maddyroll! I certainly hope this helps make the auctions a better place.

You know what rule I'd put if I were hosting an auction?

Your bid may not contain more than 5 pets

That would save so much trouble! It makes my head spin when people arrive on the "Is this a fair trade?" thread with an offer of 439834390284398 pets, and ask us if it's fair x___x I mean, it's a bit hard to determine, and it's diluting the auctionned pet's actual worth! So yes.... I would do that.

I think that's more of a personal rule. A lot of the time it restricts people. For instance, bidding on a zebra, you'd probably have a bid with like, 10+ pets. Even if they were all VR and stuff it still requires that many to get the pet. People who know their rarities are able to distinguish the fairness of bids.

My suggestion is just to tell people that you prefer Quality over Quantity in those cases, to keep bids to a reasonable number of hopefully good quality pets.

Thank you everyone. c: I still need to do the updates I meant to do a few days ago. Life is far too busy. I've noticed a few people using the format I've placed here which is great! Anyways, expect to see it a little more fleshed out today. There are a few sections I need to add.
