Well auction house is a place where pokemons or holding items are auctioned. But not a place to buy instantly . So I suggest that there should 2 different prices . One for bidding and one for buying instantly . I have photoshopped an image of it so you guys can understand . Open the spoiler to view the image (Y) :

Lulu,I think idea is quite good but it will inbalance Pokeheroes. Ones who have enough money will buying Pokemon without auction,but people like me won't have a chance to get wanted Pokemon. Did you thinked about it?

I think the new GTS that's coming might let people do that, offer in nuggets or PDs or items for a pokemon?

If someone pays for their trade to be promoted for 4 days then they probably want a lot of people to see it and we each value pokemon differently.

The "buy now" would allow rich users to manipulate the market a lot and buy up all of one type of pokemon instantly - then they can resell for higher - and keep buying up anything priced below their auction to force higher prices.

I was coming here to suggest something similar! Auctions are a frustrating hassle, and sending money without a trade is less safe. I wish there was a Buy It Now option (or, as someone else suggested, a way to buy things immediately on the GTS). Most online games like this, such as Neopets, have a shop system in place for this sort of thing, limiting how much money something can be bought for at once so that the market doesn't become too imbalanced.

While a trade/barter system is very Pokemon, it works poorly for a currency-based system like PokeHeroes. The problem is that there is no passive way to buy Pokemon, where one member can casually throw out a price and another can casually purchase it at their leisure. Most modern markets work this way. As PH stands now, it requires active negotiation, schedule conflicts (some users only check back once a week, some once an hour), or the stressful frustration of trying to bid the correct price in the last second in an auction.

Mostly I'm just tired of being outbid in the last second of an auction. Seriously, it took me NINE Skiddo/Gogat before finally someone just gifted it to me. They aren't that valuable, but people sniped for the fun of it. It was excessive.

I agree with Sally And Majora I am not rich so................. if the rich people sell poke's for extremely high prices............

As much as I love this, it does defeat the purpose of an auction. If the GTS wasn't a thing, I would be 100% down for that. If I want to auto-buy a pokemon, I'd go there. The only problem is there's no specific feature for looking for shinies or mega-powered pokemon, which is what I mostly use the AH for.

I still think Neopets is a good example of how to do it. They have an auction house, a trading post, and a marketplace / shop - and it all works, mostly because they have limits in each to how much money / how many items can be in one thing.

But honestly, I think things work fine as they are, even if I do wish auction sniping was less of a thing :3

No support.

I'm going to have to agree with what a lot of people have said before me: this'll basically make life pretty difficult for newbies ^^ The whole point of the auctions here is that even those that are just starting out can sometimes win an auction just by sniping.

No support. If people want to sell something for a certain price, they should say so. They could just ask the seller and buy the item/pokemon.
