Auction Closed

[-Apples-]

I actually plan on selling all of my collectibles (except for birthstones, non-giftable collectibles, and chocolate cake). The first two will be the green and blue balloons. Winner gets both balloons.

Starting bid: 3,000 TBT (1.5K TBT per balloon)
Minimum bid: 200 TBT (100 TBT per balloon)
Maximum bid: 600 TBT (300 TBT per balloon)
Buyout: 8,000 TBT (4,000 TBT per balloon)

For your information, maximum bids aren't the same as buyouts. I'm setting a maximum bid to prevent bidding wars. That means your bid will not count if you added over 600 TBT to the previous bid.

Rules:

- There is no snipe guard. The auction ending time will be fixed.
- You cannot withdraw from the auction unless if you didn't mean to bid. If you intentionally placed a bid earlier, you cannot withdraw. The only exception is the rule below.
- Do not fight other bidders. Any rudeness towards other bidders will disqualify your past and future bids in this auction.
- YOU CAN BID on just one balloon. Example: if one balloon has 3.5K TBT by one bidder, but the other has 2.5K TBT by the other bidder, and if the auction ends, they can be sold at those prices. You can also bid on both balloons.

This auction is now closed.

Here's a reminder:

You don't have to buy both balloons at once. You can also give them separate bids if you want, which is unusual for an auction. So let's say that you wan't to only spend 3,000 TBT on the green balloon, but only 2,500 on the blue balloon. You can do that. Just remember, no less than 100 TBT can be added per balloon and no more than 300 TBT can be added per balloon on each bid.

You can also just bid on one balloon and not bid on the other if you just want one balloon. If you have the highest bid for that balloon and another member has the highest bid for the other balloon when the auction closes, both will get the balloons.

Bump.

Is there a problem with my auction?

No problem, just seems like there aren't many buyers for balloons right now.

Okay. I still want to sell my balloons for at least 2,000 TBT per balloon, but I have to go with how the auction goes. Maximum bidding was a good idea in my opinion because bidding wars are a problem.

I'll wait until more bidders come.

How about this. If nobody else bids and if the auction ends, you can have both for 3,000 TBT (1,500 per balloon).

Also, one of my rules says that you cannot withdraw unless if you don't mean to bid. If you want the balloons and intentionally bidded for them, it counts forever until another bidder bids or when the auction ends (or if you were picking fights with the bidders).

sorry, just wanted to ask how you would go about enforcing this. if someone doesnt want to buy them anymore, and refuses to send the tbt, isnt that the end of it?

The only reason why I imposed that rule was because during the last auction (when i was trying to sell a party popper), someone had a really high bid, but then withdrawn because someone else was rude to her. Then she chose another bidder (who had less than the second highest bidder) as the highest bidder. That really bothered me as my auction turned into a disaster. To prevent this from happening again, I imposed that rule.

You can enforce it by leaving a negative wifi rating if someone breaks the auction rules.

"Auctions in Re-Tail, TBT Marketplace, and Villager Trading Plaza

When hosting an auction for your items or moving villagers, you must follow through with the sale unless you explicitly stated that the auction results are subject to be changed. Otherwise, the auction winner may give the host negative feedback for failing to complete the sale. The auction winner may also receive negative feedback if he or she fails to follow through with the purchase. Include as many rules with your auction as you feel fit, such as starting bid price, time limit, and bidding increments."

The only difference is that I don't believe in wi-fi ratings over TBT exclusive trades. If it's an in-game transaction of any kind (including selling TBT or collectibles for in-game bells), that's when I use the Wi-fi ratings.
