No, we have classifieds (in threads) and we deliberately disallow bidding because we don't think it's fair. Users must state a selling price and we don't allow offers above it.
It's very interesting to see this addon, though. I think it's good for Xenforo to have it, and I will be showing it to our moderators.
Congrats @Blatchy.

I am liking this for my newest site.
Is there a toggle somewhere where I can turn off the featured feature as that will not be part of my setup at this time?
And if its possible, to make the navigation tab stay highlighted while browsing the auction pages?
tnx

Is feasible add dutch auctions?
Hi Blatchy,
This looks very promising. I’m considering it for a larger XenForo 2.3 community where auctions would live inside a broader marketplace/trading area, rather than being the only marketplace feature. I had a few pre-purchase questions to make sure it can fit that kind of setup cleanly.
1. How flexible are the public routes/navigation?
Can the auction area be linked or presented as part of a broader marketplace area, even if the add-on keeps its own internal route structure?
2. How customizable are templates and phrases?
We would need to do fairly heavy styling/customization so the auction pages feel native to our site. Are the major front-end templates and phrases cleanly editable through normal XenForo template/phrase overrides?
3. Can listing-fee tiers and featured upgrades be fully disabled?
The resource page mentions listing fee tiers and featured upgrades. We may not want monetized auction features at first. Can those be turned off cleanly so auctions are free to post/use?
4. How does the feedback system work structurally?
Is feedback tied to completed auctions only? Is it positive/neutral/negative per transaction, and can admins moderate, remove, or edit feedback if needed?
5. Can auction feedback be displayed outside the auction pages?
For example, could we show a compact auction/trading feedback summary in postbit or member cards only in specific marketplace-related forums/nodes?
6. What hooks or extension points are available?
If we build a separate marketplace/listings add-on later, are there clean ways to integrate auction counts, seller feedback, widgets, or profile/member information without modifying this add-on’s core files?
7. How configurable are permissions?
Can we separately control who can view auctions, create auctions, bid, use Buy It Now, use reserve auctions, use featured upgrades, and access specific categories?
8. How does the buyer/seller conversation handoff work?
Can the automatic conversation text be customized? Can it include a safety/disclaimer message or site-specific transaction guidance?
9. Is the optional disclaimer shown to both buyer and seller?
The update note mentions an optional disclaimer/acknowledgement. Can that be required before bidding/listing, and can the text be fully customized?
10. What happens on uninstall?
Does the add-on remove all auction tables/data, or does it leave data behind for safety? Is there any documented backup/export path for auction data?
11. Are there any known scaling considerations?
The resource page mentions cron tasks for auction closing every minute and other regular jobs. Are there practical limits or recommendations for larger communities with many active auctions?
12. Is source code included and editable?
Not asking to modify it unnecessarily, but for integration planning it helps to know whether license holders receive readable PHP/templates in the standard XenForo add-on structure.
Thanks. The feature set looks very strong, especially the proxy bidding, anti-snipe extension, seller tools, feedback, and non-paying winner strike system. I’m mostly trying to confirm how well it can be styled and integrated into a larger marketplace area before purchasing.
