GWAuctions

Hey,

Are you constantly disappointed with auction sites that don't work? Tired from having to run multiple windows to compare items? Feel like your not getting all the information you need? Well, GWAuctions looks to change all that!

Enough with the introductions :D. GWAuctions is the all new auction site for guild wars items. What makes it different to the rest, you might say? Well, GWAuctions has a unique system which allows you actualy "see" the item before you buy it. The seller gives all relevant data, and other people will see the item as if it was in their inventory. That means there is no need for cryptic signs like "20/20 15^50 +30"

You can search for anything about an item. It's name, it's color and even effects and deions. For example, you can search for "+5 Energy" or you can search for "health" to sum up all items that modify your health.

You can view all your own auctions on a simple page and you can track auctions to watch their progress just as simply.

GWAuctions has a strong system that means "bad" users who make fake bids, sockpuppet accounts, or do not sell/buy items, can be removed easier, alowing the majority of honest users to get the most out of the service.

The auctions are easy to compare, as all items are shown in the search, which means no opening multiple windows or tabs required!

The seller benifits from the system too. The system allows the user to make a "backup" of an auction, so creating multiple auctions for identical items is made incredibly easy. It also sports a handy code generator and loader, so you can save the code for an item you might get quite often, such as a green item you might farm alot, in a word processing document to store for simple loading each time you wish to list an identical (or very similar) auction.

GWAuctions is still in beta, but this will be ending shortly (we have a few more features to add before it ends, including a pricing guide with a calculator!). We would love to see more users on the site, and hope many will be the good people of gameamp :D

Please visit GWAuctions today!

Thank you!

RE: GWAuctions

I went there, easy to use, fast and simple to navagate through it. Way better than Guru if you ask me, its just that theres a few to little auctions right now

'Sort of' is such a harmless thing to say. Sort of. It's just a filler. Sort of - it doesn't really mean anything. But after certain things, sort of means everything. Like after 'I love you' or 'You're going to live' or 'It's a boy.'

RE: GWAuctions

Site looks nice and seems easy to navigate through. I did registar but have not tried the listing option yet. But if it is as easy to list as it is to navigate the site I for one will no longer use Guru Auction (if it ever comes back up).

Great Job...

RE: GWAuctions

soared to 132 members now, 119 auctions (at the time of typing). This is fatastic news!

Due to how complicated a pricing calculator was turning out to be (we have a draft, but the funstonality is not quite there yet, and keeping it up to date is beyond us currently (we have alot of other featues we are adding, to both aid the buyer and the seller)). We are still going to include a pricing guide.

And to all those you are interested, we anticipate the service will not buckle when the memberbase and auctions challange guru, as we have less pages, images, inbuilt searches within pages, and faster searching through auctions.

RE: GWAuctions

lol naw.

we posted a small disreet message on their forums, and got a fairly good response, then one of the auction mods jumped in and tried to defend their site! xD (I've seen what they are planning, and its exactly the same as it is, but with a tacky skin instead!). Then the post was deleted :C

EDIT: 145 members now :D

RE: GWAuctions

awesome :D

I too have made plenty from the site, getting enough to top up my cash to get my rit his 15k :D

I also managed to buy lots of great items! My warrior has so much kit now, he has his whole backpack and half his belt pouch just for his armour and weapons :D

And the site is not just for cheaper auctions, I have seen a req8 celestial axe, and an elemental sword on there! the req8 celestial axe sold for 90k! We also have many miniture destroyers and moas!

Just signed up and put an item up for auction to test the waters. I like the ability to make the item icon instead of using screenshots. I will put up more items when I can remember what their stats are.

RE: GWAuctions

This is great I do hope this catches on because im sick of GURU. Guru takes forever and when you have a lot of stuff to sell, Gw Guru can be a pain in the arse. Im going to register and hopefully get all my stuff in storage sold . Thank you !

RE: GWAuctions

sweet :D Thanks!

Thanks for all the support, when we get positive feedback it makes all the hard work worth it :D

BTW, wishlist feature is now active, and we hope that it will help people find what they want so well. You set what you are looking for, and when an item appears, you are sent a message to let you know! No searching required at all!
