USE:
- Use form one to learn the status of the current auction, or to see if there is one currently in progress.
- Use form two to place an item on the public auction block. The <thing> you're auctioning must be in your inventory - that is, it has to be in your possession, but you can't be wearing or holding it. There's no need to set a start price for the bidding: the Auctioneer will handle that for you. NOTE that once you place an item on auction, there's no undoing that action: the item is automatically removed from your inventory as soon as it's accepted by the Auctioneer. Note also you may or may not be allowed to bid to retrieve it: this is up to the discretion of the Auctioneer, and different ones enforce different policies.
- Use form three or four when you have many instances of <thing> in your inventory, and you want to auction one of them in particular. <thing> must be identifiable by <specifier>.
