DESCRIPTION
Auctioning is a way to sell items to other players globally, regardless
of their location in the world. Anyone may bid on any item being
auctioned if they have enough money.

Alyria's magical auction system is governed by imps trained by
wizards in order to provide the finest auctioning services. The
imps will allow most items to be auctioned; however they frown
at some things such as perishables and extremely powerful artifacts.

Auctioning will use the monies currently in your default bank account
to bid. If you are auctioning an item, the money you win will be
transferred directly into your bank account. Like all bank activities,
you are charged a small amount for a successful transaction.

AUCTION <'STATS', 'INFO', or '?'> will display the information on the current
item up for auction. If you specify the number of an item (see
'AUCTION LIST') it will display that item's statistics instead. An
item's number will change as it moves through the auction queue.

AUCTION <item name> [<minimum bid>] will put an item up for auction
if there is room in the auction queue. You can specify the minimum bid
that you'll allow by putting it after the item name of what you're
auctioning. You must have the item in your inventory at the time
of the auction.

AUCTION BID <amount> will bid on the item up for auction.

AUCTION LIST will list the items currently in the auction queue,
and their auction numbers.

AUCTION STOP will stop an item that you have up for auction
from being sold. If the auction has been up for more than two
rounds, or is reported as 'going twice', you will not be able
to stop the auction.

Do not put an item up for auction unless you intend on selling it.
AUCTION STOP is expected to be used only when an item is auctioned
accidentally.
