I'd love a public auction that would be a weekly event.

The idea of it would be that players could put stuff in
there for sale the whole week, and there would be a public
auction at the end of the week.

This auction would then rapidly go through every item and
people could bid on them (anonymously?) until the highest
bid stays. There could be buyout-price, that if somebody
bids that first, he gets the item. There would have to be
minimum of <n> items for sale for the auction to take place.

The auction could also invite merchants from far away lands
to sell their rare goods and perhaps sometimes even some
suffeli - there would always be something unexpected and fun
to buy.

Now, some of you will say that 'There is an auctioneer
already, and people can go there when they want to buy stuff.'
Yes, that is true.
But I think that if you make it a public event with a carrot,
aside from being fun it would make eq move more from player to
player.
