# Auction

<figure><img src="/files/y5q1Egxt9AYZuXAss1te" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The auction is one of 2040WORLD's core mechanics that allows players to distribute in-game valuables.

At the auction, players can sell and buy resources, weapons, and consumables earned in-game. To place bids and purchase lots, auction currency - AUR (gold) - is required. Players may acquire AUR either by selling their auction lots or by purchasing it from the official website's shop.

When listing auction lots, you can set a buyout price, depending on your goals. Note that all auction transactions are subject to commission fees.

Items purchased via the "BUY" button will be automatically transferred to your "Storage." If there's no space available, items will be placed in temporary "Depot" storage, from which they must be retrieved before the timer expires.

Items won through the "BID" button can be collected in the "Tracking" tab.
