Auctioning in Neopia can be a terribly frustrating event if we do not know how to go about it. Here I will try to put together some tips to help everyone have an easier time in the auctions.
An auction is where an item is put up and sold to the highest bidder. There are thus 2 different roles we can play in an auction; we can either be the owner of the item or we can be one of the people trying to win the bid for the item.
First check the shop wizard to find out the lowest price of the item. Example say Item A for 350 neopoints. Next price it slightly lower with the increment about 1% of the items price.
Example ---> Item A 300 nps Increment 5 nps
Then we can select a duration for the auction to last, usually between 1 hour to 3 days at most. For cheaper items we can lower the time of the auction.
This is used when you want to sell something to your friends at a cheaper price than normal, but do not want other people to bid on it too.
Bidding is the more common activity that most of us will be engaged in. Say we found an item we have been eyeing and it is cheaper in the auctions than in the shops. Below are some tips to bid on an auction.
Look carefully at the NPs increment of a particular bid. Sometimes there are people who try to trick people by putting things like
---> Item C Asking for 100 NPs Increment 2 000 NPs
The item may seem cheap at first glance, but take a second look and you’ll realize that the increment is much too high to make this a good deal.
