Auctions are an IC thread hosted over the Holonet. Participants can connect to live auctions, anonymously if they wish, to post offers and communicate deals with the seller. The auction ends whenever the seller's time limit has been reached or if they choose an offer they would like to accept straight away.
All connections and trades are made through the secure Sapphire Trading network, meaning any traces or hacks are protected against by state of the art AI guards, firewalls and proxies.
