Auctions

Putting your auctions on the schedule

One page for every Amaretto auction, and a link of your own to hand to patrons.

3 min read

Auction times live in group notices that scroll away, notecards handed out months ago, and in-world boards nobody updated. The schedule puts them in one place people can check.

What you get

Your times on the public schedule at slcompare.com/auctions
Your own pageslcompare.com/auctions/your-house — to drop in a group notice once
A schedule editor in your portal
As many auctions as you like, one-offs included

When a time changes you change it in one place, and every notice you've ever posted is right again.

Adding an auction

In your portal, open the Auctions tab and choose Add auction. You'll need:

Name and auctioneer — one name, as you announce it
Hosts — optional, separated by commas
What's sold and auction type
Minimum opening bid — Amaretto's minimum is L$500
Rules and extras — no drops, one panel per person, sim panel, fishbowl, waitlist
When it repeats — daily, weekly on chosen days, monthly, or a one-off
A teleport link, which is required

Getting the teleport link

Stand where you want patrons to land, then in your viewer: World → Place Profile → Copy SLurl. Paste that into the form.

It's required because an auction nobody can reach is worse than no listing — and we won't guess, because guessing drops people in the middle of the sim.

Changing one date

Press Edit and it asks whether you mean this date or every date.

Just this date lets you move it, cancel it, change who runs it, or point it at a different floor — without touching the rest of the series. A cancelled date stays on the grid marked as cancelled rather than disappearing, so anyone who planned around it can see it's off.

Every date changes the auction itself, including dates already on the public grid.

Taking a week off

Use Edit → Just this date → Cancel it, and add a reason if you like. It's better than deleting: patrons see the auction is off that week and still running after.

What patrons see

Your auction on the week grid, in Second Life time or their own. Clicking it shows the auctioneer, hosts, minimum bid, your rules, a teleport, and a link they can share.

Crowd figures

On Auctions Premium and above, the SLC Crowd Counter tells you how many people actually turned up, when they arrived and when they left. Private to you — nobody sees anyone else's numbers.

Auction plans are separate from your market plan, and paid from the same wallet. A market on the free listing can still take an auction plan, and cancelling one doesn't touch the other.

The plans

BasicYour times on the public schedule, your own page, the schedule editor
PremiumEverything in Basic, plus the SLC Crowd Counter and your attendance figures

Separate from your market plan and paid from the same wallet, so a market on the free listing can still take an auction plan. Prices at slcompare.com/pricing/auctions.

Who can be listed

Auction houses on Amaretto's official list — those that have agreed to abide by Amaretto's guidelines and community standards.
