/auction bulk sale
« on: 6 Jun 2015, 01:26:15 »
With the recent introduction of 1.8 and the new overhauled Auction House it has come to my attention that this new in-game Auction will be used quite a lot more frequently than the Web Auction, this is great, HOWEVER, it's come to my attention there's no option to 'bulk sell' anything per say, causing the Auction to get flooded by one type of block.

My suggestion, if possible, is to introduce some form of bulk option, be it a seperate window that you can open from the Auction page, or something which let's you sell multiple stacks of the same item in one go.

For example: I want to sell 20 stacks of the Cobble, but I don't want to flood the Auction with 20 separate slots, and would rather sell them all at one given moment.
There would be an option to post them all as one offer, and when you buy it, you could receive it the same was as a gift in a chest that you place, or something?
This one offer would fill up one slot, would list the buyer, the AMOUNT of the item, the PRICE of the item, and possibly a warning to let any potential buyer know that it's a bulk sale.

Just a thought. Appreciations for your time reading and possibly considering this, and apologies for bad wording, it's late!

I had just been thinking this same thing after putting things up for auction. This overflow causes the older stuff to get pushed farther back, meaning it's less likely to be bought. Speaking of which, maybe we could instead put the old stuff up in the first pages and the newest in the back? This seems to make sense since the auctions expire in two days.

Bumped because it's a good idea and you should all totally support it.  ;) Also so more people can view it.

Maybe categories would work too, like the suggested bulk category, then one for tools, then raw materials like diamonds etc.

just a thought :P
