    Welcome to the Avatar Market. Here, you can auction to "purchase" various items from Avatar. You will be given 30 points to start out with. Items include actual items from Avatar, no people or animals. No purchasing qualities, such as "Aang's Airbending.". How this works, is you can select an item from the "bank" and start an auction on it. This means that when the item is sold to the highest bidder, all profits go to the "bank." You can auction off your own items, or trade with people. Here's how you should set this up.
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    Item: Sokka's Boomerang

    Highest Bid: 7 pts
    (insert highest bidder's name here)
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    There can be more than one auction going on at a time, as long as you post the item on every post so thing's don't get too confusing. When you want to bid on an item, just suggest a number, then change the highest bid, like this:

    I'll go take it for 10pts

    Item: Zuko's Ship

    Highest Bid: 10 pts
    (Grintoth)

    Please try to post your items and points at the end of your messages, or put them in your sig if you like.

    Have fun!

    Grintoth, I think this is a good idea, but could you explain it a bit better. And may I suggest that you come up with all the items (otherwise people will have duplicate items) and maybe you set the "base price" so it makes much more interesting to obtain that rare item you always wanted.
    And yea, people should put it in their sig, and put stuff like "willing to sell" or "asking price" or "will trade for boomerang" next to their items. That way people could even sell their stuff in diff. threads (as long as it doesnt drift too far from the thread's topic) and people could even PM each as a buyer/seller/trader.

    Okay. I was implying that you can remove an item from the bank at any time. Duplicates are not allowed, of course. I guess I will be the bank. Here's a good list to start us off.??
    Aang's staff/glider
    Appa's saddle
    Katara's oasis water
    Cup of Jasimine tea (only one!!)
    Zuko's ponytail Iroh's bun Aang's bison whistle
    Sokka's machete
    Sokka's boomerang
    Sokka's club
    Iroh's lotus tile
    Toph's earth rumble six belt
    The Guru's letter
    The map to Katara and Sokka's father
    The Blue Spirit Mask
    Zuko's duel swords
    Zuko's knife
    Katara's necklace
    Aang's necklace (the fishing line one)
    Jet's swords
    One copper piece
    One gold piece
    Waterbending scoll
    Iroh's sugi Horn
    Aang's airbending marbles
    Teo's glider??
    Mail cart from Omashu
    Creeping crystal

    ***Mega Items***
    Zuko's ship
    Fire Nation tank
    Fire Nation Drill
    War balloon

    How's that for a start?

    CURRENT BIDS:
    Zuko's ship: 14 pts (sadist_activist)
    Zuko's duel swords: 10 pts (YamiNaruteBrief)
    Katara's Oasis Water: 11 pts (DarkAngel101)
    Iroh's Lotus Tile: 5 pts (Naselik)
    Blue Spirit Mask: 10 pts (Naselik)
    Creeping Crystal: 5 (DarkAngel101)

    Alright, guys. Enough items for now. Start bidding! (btw, if you have the top bid for 24 hours, the item is yours!) Watch your points people. I was thinking little things like creeping crystal and the lotus tile would be about 2 points.
