In Apocalypse Continent, there are three levels of auction houses, targeting different levels of people.
The auction house in Thunder City is a junior auction house, and the upper limit of the item level here is level 30.
If you want something more advanced, you have to go to a bigger city.
The purpose of such grading is also for better management.
High-level people rarely go to low-level maps. Setting up a higher-level auction house would be a waste of resources.
In the auction house, it is divided into escrow transactions and auction transactions.
Escrow trading means that the cargo owner puts the items in the trading house for sale, and then the data of the entire Xia Kingdom's trading row will be refreshed simultaneously.
As long as someone places an order, the items will be delivered, which is very convenient.
In this method, you can only set a fixed price, and you can sell as much as you bid.
No matter how rare the item is, there is no room for temporary price increases.
There are even many novices who often sell high-quality materials as garbage because they don't know the goods.
There are also many professional "traffickers" who specialize in auction houses to earn the price difference from these newcomers.
It is for this reason that escrow transactions are mainly for items that are in high demand but have relatively low unit prices.
If you want to seek greater benefits, you must use the auction transaction model.
This mode is mostly used for items such as rare equipment, blueprints, and materials.
Such items are often scarce in quantity and have high individual value, so more benefits can be obtained through open bidding.
However, this model has a certain threshold before members can use it.
But no matter which transaction method is used, as long as the transaction is successful, a certain handling fee will be charged according to the different levels of the customer.
For customers, the handling fee is 20% for successful transactions and 10% for failed transactions.
Moreover, the maximum time for a single custody session is 3 days. If the transaction is not successful within the time limit, it will be considered a failure.
Customers also need to pay a 10% management fee if the item is not sold.
Therefore, in Tianqi Continent, a VIP card is a very important thing, which can save a lot of handling fees.
The threshold for cards is very high and there are various rigid regulations.
Therefore, only upper-class people with super strength or explosive financial resources can obtain it.
In the current Thunder City, most people are between level 20 and 30, and there are even fewer people with that status.
When Cheng Qianmo came to the junior auction house, he was immediately attracted by the magnificent building in front of him. The signboard alone was made of high-quality jade.
The main purpose of his coming here today is, on the one hand, to sell some unused materials, and at the same time, to see if he can pick up any leaks and collect resources for the second-stage weapons.
On the other hand, it is to sell the best magic weapon - Jordan Staff at a good price.
"This auction house is much grander than in the previous life, and you can tell that a lot of money has been spent." Cheng Qianmo sighed inwardly.
At this moment, the entrance of the junior auction house is busy with traffic and the flow of people is endless.
Ling Ruoxi laughed when she saw Cheng Qianmo staring at the auction house sign for a long time.
"This must be your first time seeing such a wealthy place."
"When I first came here, my reaction was similar to yours."
Cheng Qianmo showed a helpless expression. He was just lamenting the changes in the auction house. It was not about people from the countryside moving into the city, okay?
"Let's go, I'll take you in."
Then Ling Ruoxi took Cheng Qianmo into the auction house with ease.
In the lobby, there are many service windows, all of which are used to host transactions.
If you want to consign something, just go to the window and queue up.
At this moment, Ling Ruoxi ran to the service desk nearby. She threw out a card and asked, "When will the next auction start? Are there any private rooms?"
The staff member's name was Hao Jian. When he saw the color of the card, his expression changed slightly.
"Hello dear silver card VIP, the next auction will start in 10 minutes."
"There is currently one last room in the luxury box. The smaller one will be arranged for you immediately."
Hao Jian's words immediately aroused surprise among the people around him.
At the same time, they looked at Ling Ruoxi with envy.
It's already a great thing to have a bronze card in Thunder City, but I didn't expect that the little girl in front of me was actually holding a silver card.
Obviously her identity is not ordinary, she must be the daughter of a wealthy family.
It is precisely for this reason that Hao Jian's attitude is extremely polite.
At the same time, Cheng Qianmo was also a little surprised.
"No wonder this girl, she said she was familiar with the auction house before. It turns out she is a distinguished silver card user."
In fact, along the way, Cheng Qianmo had made many guesses about Ling Ruoxi's identity.
A young girl like her who has no experience in the world and is highly talented at the same time probably has an unusual identity.
With her current strength, it is definitely impossible to hold a silver card.
So it was probably the elders in the family who gave her the convenience.
"Since Xiao Nizi took the initiative to take out the card, I won't do anything else."
System, the lowest level is the Bronze Card user, followed by Silver Card, Gold Card, Diamond Card, Black Card, Red Card, and the level of exaltation increases in order.
In a novice city like Thunder City, being able to take out a silver card is basically the highest authority.
Therefore, the black card in Cheng Qianmo's hand does not have much effect.
However, at this moment, a trio headed by a young man walked over arrogantly.
"Are there any private rooms? We, Wei Junzhi and Mr. Wei, are going to participate in the auction."
A fierce-looking man, very arrogant, is obviously the follower of Mr. Wei.
This put Hao Jian in a difficult position.
"I'm sorry for this distinguished guest. The last luxury private room was just booked by this lady. She is our silver card VIP."
Hao Jian originally thought that revealing Ling Ruoxi's identity would calm the matter, but unexpectedly it turned out to add fuel to the fire.
After Wei Junzhi heard this, he showed a look of disdain and said sarcastically: "How can a mere silver card be considered a VIP?"
Then he took out a card from his pocket and threw it in the direction of Hao Jian.
"Take a good look at what color this is."
Hao Jian took the card and looked at it, and was shocked.
"It's actually a gold card!"
The people around him could see it clearly, and they also showed shocked expressions.
Wei Junzhi obviously enjoyed the shock of passers-by. He said quietly: "As far as I know, your auction house has a priority system."
"Since there is still one room, it belongs to me!"
Wei Junzhi is right, the auction house has always classified cards according to their levels.
If there is only one room left, priority will be given to users of a higher level.
Hao Jian was really in a dilemma, but he could only act in accordance with the regulations.
"I'm sorry, young lady, I can only aggrieve you now."
"I will arrange the best ordinary box for you!"
Ling Ruoxi was not happy now. She was about to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Cheng Qianmo.
She saw Cheng Qianmo shaking his head at her, so she endured it.
Wei Junzhi took a deep look at Cheng Qianmo, then walked in laughing.
At this time, Ling Ruoxi asked in confusion: "Obviously we were the ones who came first, and that person just promised to give us the room."
"He is being unreasonable, why don't you let me reason with him?"
Cheng Qianmo, on the other hand, had a gloomy expression with a playful expression.
