The auction house or /ah, is a place to list items for sale and purchase items that others have listed.
The auction is a great way to make money by selling items that other players may be interested in buying. Typically, players will sell hard-to-get, rare, or extra cheap items on /ah and prefer to use chest shops to sell everyday/common items.
Each item is listed as an auction so players can purchase it right away with a set price, or, if the seller has opted, to bid for an item. Any unsold items after the auction house's time duration is returned to your collection bin.
The top row of this image shows items for sale in the auction. To purchase, simply hover over the item to read about the statistics:
In this example, it shows what is on sale with the details of the lore. It shows who the seller is, what their auction method of sell is, and what the price is. If you see BUY NOW, it means that this is a flat price item. If you see something more like the next photo, then it is a bid item.
To list an item on the auction house, just hold the item in your active hand and type the following command:
/ah sell <buy Now Price> [start price] [bid Increment]
The start price is where the bidding will begin. The bid increment price is how much every bid will increase the price by. So, if you have a start price of $100 and the bid increment is $10, then the first person bidding on the item is ready to pay $110. The next person would pay $120, etc.
If you do not want to auction the item, only do the buy now price; you do not need to add a start price or bid increment.
You can also pay a premium price of $5,000 for one hour to prioritize your /ah listing to appear at the top of the page. To do this, click on Your Auctions (the diamond at the bottom left hand menu of /ah) and shift + left click on the item that you'd like to prioritize. You can stack total hours for priority items by continuously shift and left clicking on an item (each click will cost $5,000).
Mineseed admins reserve the right to remove and return an item to a player or delete the item if it is inappropriate, at a price that is deemed to be scamming, or because it infringes on the /rules. If a player continuously repeats behavior, they may lose /ah abilities.
Click on the diamond in the bottom left hand corner of the /ah menu. Click on the item that you'd like to cancel. It will automatically remove it and put it into the Ender Chest menu (without notification), so be sure you want to cancel something!
You can also cancel all listings by clicking on the diamond and clicking on the Ender Chest that appears in the window. You will need to type /ah confirm to confirm that you want to cancel them all.
In the bottom of the /ah menu are some options for things.
