- An auction was an event at which goods, divided into lots, were offered for sale and sold to the highest bidder. Several races were known to practice auctions, including the Orions and the Ferengi. The Orions maintained a slave labor market in the 22nd and 23rd centuries, in which people – rather than goods – were sold as commodities. Nine crew members from Enterprise NX-01 were abducted by the Orions in 2154 and auctioned off as slaves on Verex III. (ENT: "Borderland"). Bridal auctions were a traditional part of Ferengi weddings.

- When placing a bid, you might not always beat the highest bidder and consider that even if your name appears to be winning now, a player can still outbid you in the last seconds of the auction. You can verify the winner by seeing an in-game pop-up stating you have won. You can also now see the current highest bid which previously in Trade you could not. There is also now a filter to help find what you are looking for. While it does not go to the exact item you want you can pick out the type (lasers, generators, designs, etc).

| abstract | - Next up, Ladies and Gentlemen, is this lovely trope about putting items up for sale. Not at a fixed price, but allowing people to put their own price on the item, as long as it's higher than the last price named. These are called bids. It can be used for your basic comedies, dramas, thrillers and all situations with a need for tension, ladies and gentlemen. You can get your Mac Guffins being fought over with good guys and bad guys trying to out bid each other. For a limited time only, get this with the random civilian who starts bidding unaware of what they've got before them thus messing up everyones plans. Perhaps you just need a straight forward plot device to get you item from A to B? Well this is what you need. It makes a great laundering system for spy secrets and mafia money. You might think this bidding system is just for getting the item, it can be used as a sting wherein the heroes drive up the bargain to find out who the villain (who desperately needs it) really is. As with all models in this range, you'll be getting the opportunity to signify wealth and opulence like you'll rarely find elsewhere. Somedays you'll just find yourself taking a character to the auction just to spend exorbitant amounts of money on random pieces to signify how wealthy they are. Expect the audience to gasp as mister moneybags raises the bids to an unprecedented level. Oh no, this isn't just an ordinary trope, everyone. It's a Super-Trope, encompassing:
* Accidental Bid.
* Auction of Evil
* Bachelor Auction
* Whammy Bid Shall I start the bidding at 20 Bonus Points? Thank you. Do I hear 25? Yes, good sir. 30? 30 made of win points? Going once--30 from the main in the brown hat. Do I hear 35? 35, it is. Now 40 from the woman with the blue hair ribbon. 40 going once, twice, SOLD! Examples of Auction include: File:Batman auction accursed item.jpg

Nine crew members from Enterprise NX-01 were abducted by the Orions in 2154 and auctioned off as slaves on Verex III. (ENT: "Borderland"). When Quark broke Ferengi law in 2372, the punishment enacted by the FCA involved revoking his Ferengi business license and seizing all of his belongings to be auctioned off to the lowest bidder. (DS9: "Body Parts") After death, the bodies of many Ferengi were subjected to vacuum desiccation and then auctioned on the Ferengi Futures Exchange. (DS9: "Body Parts", "The Ascent") According to Ferengi religious beliefs, the spirit of the deceased would enter the Divine Treasury if they had led a profitable life, after which they would be able to bid for a new life from the Celestial Auctioneers. (DS9: "Little Green Men") Auctions were regularly used by the Ferengi as a means of conducting business, and Quark held several auctions in his bar, with Quark himself serving as the auctioneer. (DS9: "Q-Less", "In the Cards") Bridal auctions were a traditional part of Ferengi weddings. (DS9: "Call to Arms")
