Forum Thread

To start with, this suggestion does not belong to me, I'm writing this on Dokku's request.

Anyway as a title say, I think that in Auction House there should be an option to choose if you either want to create auction for PD or for Nuggets. And with that
there should also come button for "Auction for Nuggets" or something like that (but to add, it should show all Auctions, not split to Mega-powered or Shinies, reason will be clear in later part unless option 2b is chosen then it might come in handy, but still there will be less auctions so it might not be necessary).
Besides I think that such a way will help to avoid scammers a little bit since bid cannot be taken back and auction cannot be canceled.

Of course I am aware of fact that it was suggested before, for example here and here, but it was a long time ago and back then buying things with nuggets was not so popular as it is now plus those thread went "dead" without being either implemented or rejected so that's why I wanted to make things clear (unless I missed it somewhere between others suggestion and if that's a case then I apologize for that).

Back to the topic:
Of course there would be some restrictions/changes compared to PD auctions:

1. Lowest starting bid would be 50 nuggets for obvious reason (not sure about highest starting bid, maybe 8k since no one would give more for anything on site, at least that what I think);

2a. Restrictions in Pokemons to avoid "spam" auctions. That Pokemons would be Mega-powered, Shinies, Legendaries, Retros, to put it simple, those who are normally bought with nuggets
• not sure what to do with rare items on normal Pokemons, if it's possible then there should also be restriction on items too (so excluded could be Berries etc., but allowed summon items etc.) and if not then GTS will have to be on that kind of trade for nuggets unless item is hold by Pokemons mentioned above;
2b. Or without restricion, no one would bought normal Rattatta for nuggets anyway.

3. To also avoid "spam" auctions: number of auction for nuggets would be decreased compared one for PD and counted separately from each other (so your "Your Auctions" and "Auctions you're bidding on" would have to be split with line on those with nuggets and those with PD). Number of those nuggets auctions would be 2 for premium users and 1 for non-premium users;

4. I mentioned that there should be different button for auctions for nuggets, but of course they should also be showed in "Currently expiring auctions" and "Promoted auctions", only difference would be symbol next to winning bid (I know it's obvious, but I'm just making things clear);

5. Promoting Auctions should stay as it is (and that mean no matter an auction it should be for PD, maybe cost little higher, but it's for Riako to decide);

6. To add: it would probably be better if tax would not be counted same way like in normal PD auctions (or removed at all, but that would not be fair), anyway I think no matter what it should always cost you only 1 nugget;

Again I will point out that you have to choose one of two options, you can either create auction for nuggets or create auction for PD.

I think that's all is required to make it clear. Feel free to add some points since I might have forgot about something, share your opinion (remember about PH rules) and share which option (2a or 2b you would like to see).
Thanks for reading!

I'm not sure about this. It could be a way for people to transfer nuggets via double account. For example person 1 sets up a Karp auction then logs onto their second account, and bids thero 300 nuggets on it.

Well i guess Riako would still see it as mutli account like with normal gift so xD

It's high time someone revived this suggestion!
Support.It would make it easier to get nuggets from other users

---

I can see this being abused.
Trying to limit what pokemon would go in there is probably difficult and people would spam it anyways with commons.
I feel it would over-complicate a working feature on the site.

No support

Reason: It is hard for many people to get nuggets and so it would be unfair for them
