# Auction House
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](/mineseed/economy/chest-sign-shop.md) 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.
Everything except the bottom 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 the price is, and when the item expires.
### How to Sell
To list an item on the auction house, just hold the item in your active hand and type the following command:
**/ah sell \**
Please note that for pyrofishing items and seasonal crate items, the price must be equal to or more than the minimums set in the [Official Pricing Guide](https://docs.mineseed.org/mineseed/economy/pages/DAVUQtd6hxgbRGYNdbFQ#id-18.-seasonal-crate-items).
{% hint style="danger" %}
Mineseed's Senior Staff reserve the right to remove and return an item to a player or delete the item if it is inappropriate, if a player is using /ah to advertise something, at a price that is deemed to be scamming, or because it infringes on the [/rules](/mineseed/rules-and-information.md). If a player continuously repeats behavior, they may lose **/ah** abilities.
{% endhint %}
### How to Cancel a Listed Item
Click on the ender chest 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 your inventory, so make sure you have at least 1 spot open before canceling something!
### Other Notes and Commands
In the bottom of the **/ah** menu are some options for things. To see an archive of everyone's transactions from the auction house, visit the [**Mineseed discord**](https://discord.gg/mineseed) and check out the #auction-house channel.
**Please note:**** ****if you do not manually remove your items from your /ah ender chest, it will automatically get deleted 2 days after your auction ends!**
