Matt Miller on the new auction houses in City of Heroes, Villains |

Players will be able to pick a selling price of how much they are willing to take for whatever they are selling. Buyers and sellers have a sell history of each item to help them gauge the market value of what they want to buy or sell. Buyers don't get to see the price the seller is wanting for the item, though. They simply locate what they want to buy, and make an offer.
If what they offer is equal to or greater than what the seller wants for it, then the transaction goes through and the seller receives what the buyer offered (minus the appropriate fees, of course). This means that sellers who don't know the value of what they have have a greater chance of getting what they deserve for the item, no matter how low they personally value it.
The new auction houses in CoH and CoV will also be getting a new feature called a "buy order." Miller says that the buy order is a request to buy something that isn't currently being sold. "You put in the price you want to pay," said Miller, "and if a seller ever posts that item for that price or less, you immediately buy it, even if you are offline."
All of the auction houses are also cross-server, which means that players can buy something off of someone in, say, the Virtue server even if the buyer is in the Justice server. Miller said that he believes this will "result in a wealth of items to buy, and a wealth of buyers to sell to."
