Upcoming System: "Consignment Shoppe!"

**Cinco** · 10-22-2010, 04:58 PM

The next version of Pocket Legends (version 1.5) includes our first iteration of 'auction' functionality. This initial implementation allows you to take tradeable items from your inventory and list them for sale for other players to purchase - whether you are online or off

Go to the Balefort Castle area of your map and locate "Artie the Auctioneer" within the walls of Fort Blackstone. Talk to him in order to:

1.) Browse items up for sale,
2.) List your items, and
3.) Collect gold payments from other players!

Buying Items
Artie's 'consignment shoppe' allows you to filter by item type, item name, level minimum, level maximum, item rarity and by 'items you can use.'

Listing Items for Sale
In order to list items for sale on the Shoppe you need to have at least one (1) available "Auction Slot." We give you one (1) to start with and you can buy more with Platinum from the in-game store.

Choose the 'Sell' tab to list your items for sale. Choose a tradeable item from your inventory. Select an asking price and set the time period for which you would like the item to be listed. The Shoppe will take 1% of your asking price when you list the item.

You can list items for 12 hours, 24 hours, 4 days or 1 week. Each of these time-periods has a small flat fee associated which the Shoppe also takes when you list the item.

Collecting your Gold!
Check back with Artie the Auctioneer and see if your items have sold! Click on the Sales tab and browse the 'Completed' sales to see which of your items have sold. When you have sold an item, you can 'Complete Sale' to collect your gold and re-open an Auction Slot.

This feature offers some great benefits for players who enjoy trading but don't want to spend all day and night hawking their sales in the middle of towne. Plus, the item filtering features (being able to look only for "Legendary" items, Level 43 items, or only items with "Isis" in their names) make it easy to find just what you're looking for!

Hope you enjoy it

**Demonicdevyn** · 10-22-2010, 05:01 PM

sweet .

**Cascade** · 10-22-2010, 05:01 PM

Sweet this is better than CTF

**TwinkTastical** · 10-22-2010, 05:03 PM

Does it cost 20 plat per selling slot?

**setec** · 10-22-2010, 05:04 PM

Important question: If I look at an item via the shoppe system, does it compare it to what I am currently equipped with so that I know what stats are changed?

**deathdealer** · 10-22-2010, 05:07 PM

Is this coming out today? Or at some other undisclosed day?

**Cascade** · 10-22-2010, 05:07 PM

Will you be able to look up ANY item in PL even quest items? And will it have a description with the item?

It's part of the 1.5 app update. So whenever, they finish it, send it to Apple, and it gets approved, we'll see it.
Anyway, sounds pretty cool.

We have not decided the final price of the auction bays.

Thinking five (5) bays for ten (10) plat - and perhaps better deals for more auction bays in the future.

Given that we get 3 bays free already, 10p for 5 more bays seems very fair.

**Cascade** · 10-22-2010, 05:13 PM

At least its not as expensive as CTF.

**Demonicdevyn** · 10-22-2010, 05:13 PM

k so not a bad deal
what happens if none bids after the time period u choose
and can u take a item out and cancel selling it?

You're complaining about 10p for 5 slots? Or is it just still the 20p from another post?

I'm hoping they implement down the road an in-game mail system which could be used for offline sending of items to players mailboxes and for notifications of CS completed auctions.

I think this was on the roadmap... last time we had one... which was a long time ago... (ahem)
