Sooo, I recently put up a few foals for bid in the forums and thought... How cool would it be to have an Animals Auction just like the Graphics Auction?! I was thinking there could be an option to sell multiple or just one horse/dog and players could bid as they choose! This way, it would also be easier to see whats out there for sale. Any thoughts?

I love this idea! I think it would be better than just putting them up for sale in bid only. It would be better advertisement too.

Totally agree! It would be WAYYYY easier to find animals that way rather than hoping to find something in forums and advertisement chat! :D :D :D

Isn't that what the search is for? Like go to search for horses, then select the sales box/es?

The more I think about this the more I like it. I think it could help with animal sales because there's no question about whether someone is still actively selling. It would definitely be awesome to group animals for sale but also have individual sale. Some people aren't able to get ads posted in chat for people to constantly see or bump tbeir forum posts. Let's face it, if your not hitting the ads hard, no one knows you're selling animals. Just something to consider for down the road, and possibly remove the sale selection from search and/or the animal sales board.

I like this idea for similar reasons to Trig.

 

Half the reason I dont often breed backups is that it's a pain to get them sold.

While we could still post, its nice to think of a search engine for it that doesnt get muddle up with is this reserved?  Is it being moved to retirement and deleted?  Etc.

Having read Trig's and Neke's posts, I have come to see that it's a good idea!

Ideally, it would need to be on some sort of timer too so there isn't the same problem we have now of a ton of horses appearing for sale. Maybe make it like the other auctions and be able to set the number of days or even counting down to the minute. It would also be nice if the seller could choose a private or public auction like we can now. Public being whoever bids the most/buys outright by the end, private would have to be approved by the seller. Which I know a lot of it would be similar to what we have but it would be in one central location. As I said above, you could also remove duplicate sections if need be. I can really think of all kinds of little tidbits to add to this whole sales things xD

Just saw this, and I think its an amazing Idea. But we also need to have the option that Animals can be placed up sale without them appearing in the Auction page, this would be for our private sales that have been prearranged and for moving animals around our accounts. 

 

I also love the idea of being able to Group a bunch of animals together. Ie. a Breeding pair of back ups.
