Hi All..

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in an auction system.

This system would be integrated into my VMT application (See link in my sig), which already keeps track of all of your items (on all of your characters) and separates items by world. I'm considering developing an auction system that will send/retrieve auction information to my website, where people could browse such items using either the plugin, or by visiting my website..

If anyone is interested in such a thing (or sompletely uninterested), please post your thoughts on it here.

I think it is a great idea. In the past there was something like that, but it seems to have died away. You could go onto a website and see what each bot had in their inventory, and check different servers with a dropdown menu.

Maybe get with the developer of the popular trade bot programs or program and see if once developed, have both downloadable as a package?

one of the old tradebot programs would put its invetory and pricing on a website, you coudl search for items, and possibly even spells...

Ease of use is the key.

Wouldn't mind seeing a bot with the ability to except auctions (if possible).

For example: Item Red Garnet: Min price 0 Auction 24 hours Buy out 20 points

type in things like: add item Red Garnent; 23000
You've added 10 points to this window, reply with Bid to except this bid. You will be notified once the bid has been excepted.



Then you'll have to have the bot be able to message people when they log in.. if they don't log in 24 hours after their bid, it's expired... It's a big much.. but if you could do it.

I say keep the live trade bots going but use the credentials above. This avoids misfires. You could reserve the item in the inventory for the time being however!

More dynamic.

I need to work on some of the functionality of how VMT IDs items.. Currently, it keeps track of all items in your inventory.. and all players, monsters, and portals your character sees.

It's supposed to only identify objects after a certain period of time has passed since the last ID, but it seems to be doing it more often than that, so I need to work on that... (This is why there is a lot of lag when using the only my kills option on the Corpse list for your corpses to come up.. The ID queue is too large.)

I'll work on all of that, and get it really efficient and then I'll work on the handling of auctions... maybe..
