Auction house mechanics:

BUYING:

To buy an item, check the Auction House Counter or NPC and select Bid from the menu. Navigate through the categories until you reach the one containing the item you want. Then scroll through the list until you find the item.If the item is available for sale,then the number available is shown in parentheses after the name and you can start the bidding process.Check the item and select Price History to get an idea of the going rate. You can use the history as a guide to how much bid, but keep in mind that it does not tell you what the current asking prices are, only what the recent bidding prices have been. Now check the item again, select Bid, and enter your bid. If your bid is successful you will receive the item. Otherwise you can either bid a higher amount, or give up if you decide the price is too high. Since bidding is free, you may want to start with a low value and raise your bids gradually until you are successful.This costs nothing but a little time,and you may get your item for much less than you thought. Once a bid is made it can't be undone, so some care is needed to prevent a costly mistake.A common error is to bid the stack price for a single;the bid will succeed,but the price paid will be many times more than the item is worth.

SELLING:

When you have decided on an asking price,select Sell and a list of the items currently in your inventory appears. Select the item you want to sell and enter your asking price. For stackable items,select a full stack to sell a stack and select a single or a partial stack to sell a single.The Auction House lets you know what the fee will be and asks you to confirm the sale. A player can have 10 items(or stacks)at most for sale at the same time.This includes all auction house systems together.Select Sales Status to check how many items you currently have up for sale and see if any items have sold or were returned.When an item is sold or returned, you must check it in the Sales Status list to clear the 'slot' in order sell more items.
