How to Auction?

[Jillian Rabeni]

Woohoo-- I just birthed a 9T Scottish Shorthair! Up until now, I'm lazy and sell my kittens on Marketplace, but this one strikes me as maybe being auction-worthy. How do I go about that?

If you go to the Auction section of this website, you will see various auctions being advertised. There's often an auctioneer or two per kitty sim. I know you want to sell sooner rather than later, but I'd advise attending some of the auctions listed if you haven't and seeing which auctioneers you like and how well attended some are versus others. The different auctioneers have different systems for registering for an auction. In some cases, they have automated sign-ups for a panel at their site. But it never hurts to talk to them directly (though if they have an automated system, they would still direct you to use that).

Just fyi, auctioneers generally get 10% of the final price of the cat as a tip, when the cat sells. One also generally purchases the auction panel (which is usually a very small fee). All in all, auctioneers work very very hard for their tips.

Oh, thank you very much. It's one of the things I was looking for here. Will take note.

FYI - I personally use this calendar to find auctions: http://kittycats.info/auctions
There have been others in use as well.
