Auction Rules

I really have no clue why - but some ppl are just kinda resitant to rules ... even if I do explain the same things again and again ... they just try to play their tricks again and again too. Best excuse anyway is - sorry, I do not understand english very good ... Come on! You are in an international game where english is spoken EVERYWHERE ... and - what the hell do you think translators are for???

But uhm well ... not to be too naughty *giggles* ... here I put the rules down again - with explanation even!!!! Maybe this makes it a little bit more understandable. Please MAKE SURE you read AND UNDERSTAND the rules - if you have any questions - just contact me.

♦ Only two breedables per panel maximum.
- It´s just because you do sell better if you do not put out a whole pack of 4 or more breedables nobody does want ...

♦ If you put out two pets they have to be a breeding pair.
- How wants to buy a pair of guys - we know our breedables are not gay ;=)

♦ NO STARTER KITS or STARTER PACKS on the panels.
- An auction is something where breeders sell their breedables - should not be promotion for creators. If you want to promote your creations get in contact with Cordelia Serenity.

♦ Only two panels per person maximum.
- Makes just no sense if we have 15 panels but only 2 ppl in the house ... you do not want to buy your own stuff, don´t you?
IF you really need one more panel - talk to me first - it is not a problem to allow a third one - but just not without talking to me first please.

♦ No sick animals are allowed
- I never thought I need to point THAT out .. but ... well - we did have it. Sick animals will be removed WITHOUT any warnings - you can replace them with healthy ones but I will not allow sick pets on the panels - and it is senseless anyway - who in heaven wants to buy sick pets?

♦ 10% of sale amount goes as auctioneer tip
- Cause this is the way auctioneer and callers are being paid ... and it is mandatory.

♦ Be at the auctionhouse 10 mins before start - LATEST!
- It is just annoying when ppl pop in during the auction and of course - if you want to sell something you should be there to set it for sale!
If there is a reason why you might be late - tell me! We can handle everything - but only if I KNOW about it.
If you are NOT at the auctionhouse when we start with the auction ALL your panels will be skiped and your stuff returned.

If there is anything - no matter what- you can ALWAYS talk to me ... I try to help everybody ... but if ppl try to play tricks, disturb the auctions or bother my customers I CAN be a real bitch and I will NOT allow ANYBODY messing up the auctions or the market.

About auctions - Part I

Okay I watched this phenomenon the whole day yesterday and several times before ....

People are breeding a breedable - they know we are doing auctions - at auction day they come and look around ... and even if they already see something on the panels they do not put up something ... but keep on coming and looking.

Some do ask me if a lot of ppl will come ... some ask what they should ask for their breedable and when I answer them ... they finally tell me "mh well I am not sure, think I better do not try".

Others come, have a look around and say "mh only sellers in here" ... and they are gone.

Watching this since the day I did my first auction - and I do auctions for almost 2 years now - let me come to this point now where I think it may be helpful to talk about auctions ...



OF COURSE we all want to sell our breedables at auctions for the best price. Nobody comes to auctions cause they are bored. And everybody is disappointed when their breedable is not sold.

BUT - AUCTIONS ARE MUCH MORE THAN THIS - and auctions are an IMPORTANT part of the whole breedable thing!!!

So ... let´s first talk about the financial aspect. The point is - you want to sell your breedable. Renting a spot somewhere and putting your stuff up is the easiest way to do it.
But selling your stuff at auctions means the chance to get more money for it. Why? Cause auction CAN do a nice thing: causing a BID WAR :=))))
With bid wars you get higher prices for your stuff. But - when do bid wars take place? How to cause bid wars?

First of all - nobody can guarantee a bid war. It happens - or it does not happen. But you can do a few things that make it easier to cause a bid war:
♦ Do not put more than 2 breedables on one panel. The more breedables you put out the less you will sell them. Cause ppl might be interested in ONE or even two of the breedables you put out - but they are not willing to pay for 4 or more if they only can use one or two. Putting out 2 - specially as a breeding pair - makes more sense and ppl are more willing to buy two even if they only can use one.
♦ Do not set the starting bid too high. The lower the starting bid the bigger the chance to cause bid wars. Once ppl have the idea of a bargain in mind they WANT it - and that means they will bid. Even if it goes higher and higher. Not always - but very often ;=) BUT - be aware of the fact that you might NOT cause any bid war at all too - and that means - you might have to give your breedable away for the low starting bid.
♦ Put as much informations on your NC as you can. Means - if there are good breeds and/or traits in the background too - name them. It makes it easier for the auctioneer to explain how special and good your breedable is.

Talking of pricing breedables at auctions in general. Not an easy thing. It is difficult to tell others what they should ask for their breedable - but here are some points to think about when pricing breedables at auctions.
♦ First of all it depends on what YOU want for your breedable. Means - do you want to get a certain price as minimum or do you want to gamble? Cause no matter WHAT price you are starting with - you always have to keep in mind that you might have to give it away for exactly THAT amount.
♦ The price of a breedable does not only depend on the traits it has but also on the background - at least for those who do pass their traits and stuff. That means the better the background is the higher you can set the price.
♦ Keep an eye on the market. You should know about the prices - it makes no sense when you think something special is worth 10k - but all over the markets you can see the same for 5k or even less. Trying to sell yours at an auction for 10k then will NOT work. If you WANT to sell it for that price you need to sell it in a market spot - and be patient. But at an auction it will not work.

... okay - so far so good ... that was about prices for breedables at an auction. But as I told you before - auctions are much more than just selling stuff ... stay tuned for more informations about breedable auctions :=)))

Breedable Auctions @ BPM

Breedable auctions at BPM are legendary ... why?

Well we are different from most of the auction houses. Our focus is YOU, the breeder, the seller, the buyer and your breedables. We are addicted to breedables, we have a lot of knowledge of almost all kind of breedables and we love to do auctions.

Maybe that´s why our auctions are always fun, were we come together, talk to each other, share experience and the latest news - and most of all - we laugh A LOT ;=))

ALL breedables are welcome - ALL breeders are welcome. Not traits or high coats or stats do count here - but YOU. We do our best to sell ALL of your breedables for the best price.

This sounds like something you might like? Well then come over and join us for one of the legendary BPM auctions.

The team of BPM is looking forwards to see you at the BPM auctionhouse ;=)
