Hey Guild Wars Google Group,
It's been quiet for the past few weeks. There hasn't been much going
on here, but I'm here to ask people what they would like to have if
someone was to design an auction house (a better way to trade items
player to player) for guild wars. Does guild wars have an auction
house?
For example, I'd like to have some kind of sorting between people who
sell and buy. I have to read each one, which is annoying.
Post your suggestions or replies...

I really liked Final Fantasy XI's auction house where you could look
up the item you are looking to buy/sell and see what it went for
previously in the AH. .

Do you mean it to be like this scenario...
Want to price check for this inscription, so I am going to the auction
house and see what was the last incription of this type sold for...
Is that what you meant?
That's a good feature. I know a lot of people who always shout out "pc
on ... "

Pretty much. You could select a tab and see what the "gloves of
healingwhaterver" sold for in the last 32 hours. It helped you see if
it had been up for auction recently, how often hit had been sold in
the last 32 hours and how much it went for. The way you bought stuff
at an auction house was a bit weird, the seller set a minimum buyout
price that you couldn't see so if you had patience you would bid 100,
if that didn't get the item then you bid 110, then 120, then 130 and
ding! you hit his minimum and you got the item. Sometimes you could
get very good prices this way. If you weren't patient as a buyer then
you could check that "last sold" tab and then bid around there and
hopefully you got it at a fair price. The last sold tab helped the
seller also b/c you could see what the market was for the item. If it
sold very high and was put up for auction only once or twice in the 32
hours, then the seller could try to raise the price since its in high
demand. If the item is something that is listed and sold all of the
time then you could try to list yours at a slightly higher price and
the market would follow or list it for lower than the market and make
a quick buck.
I am not sure that I like the auction system but I did like the last
sold tab. Maybe combine that with WoW's auction house where you can
set a buyout price if you want and put a minimum bid on it so people
that don't want to take a chance on being outbid can buy it outright
or see if you can get the item at a low price and bid on it.

Our little group here in google should start our own use of auction
house. More people might join just to use the auction house. Does
google have a database? Yesterday I was looking at yahoo groups, and
there was an option there for building a database. Now, I wonder if
google has something similar...

I don't know, having an auction house would be complicated; that'd
probably lead to making another google group specifically for that. I
say that we should just post anything we're selling at anytime.

maybe yes, maybe not, but the auction house should be made for Arenanet or this house will not working.
but is very hard trade anything in game, for example: I have a Vial of Dye Black and I want trade for a White, but I've never find someone to. So.. I have a Green Item (a bow) to trade for a Monk/Mesmer green Item and I cant to.

Yeah, trading in the game is pretty difficult. But you could sell your
black dye to the dye trader and buy a white one right after that.
As for your green item dilemma, it's pretty hard to sell/trade green
items in the game. I suggest that you just use green items on your own
characters.
