If I understand this correct, L2 will get an auction house (or at least something called a "sales agent"). Can't google translate the text, though, because it's a graphic. Maybe someone else can post what's written there.
I don't like the fee npc takes for selling your stuff. As explained on Goha.ru it's 0.7% of price for each day. On picture you can see that item price is set to 100 mil, and fee is 5.39 mil from that. If item didn't get sold during that time period you need to register it again and again you will lose your 5.39mil.
I'm sure expensive stuff will be sold through regular shops like it is now.

The question is : Where will go the adena of the adena ? i guess it will go to the castel.

No, it is 0.7% of the price per day, and you can set it up for 1 to 7 days. The 5.39m fee in the screenshots is for a 110m item for 7 days.
Still, that fee will be quite high, when you're trying to sell a high price item which might need several attempts. For example, if you're trying to sell some boss jewel for 2b adena, that would cost 98m for 7 days. Now imagine you do not sell it during the first week and want to put it in for another week, you're already out of nearly 200m.
Would be nice to see them put in a max fee, as in "x% of the price, or 200k, whichever is lower".
As it is designed right now, people will not sell high price items via this system and instead use the standard private shops. You'll probably only be able to buy stuff like brez, element stones etc. from the NPC. Or people will just slap the fee on top of what they sell the item for, i.e. auction house stuff will cost more than stuff from private shops.
I totally love to walk around giran/aden w/e each day to get a chance for a cheap buy or sale. The crafting system and the market system of L2 is some i am for (ofc the korean random on crafting can kick u bad ^^)
I don't think many people will even use it if that fee stands. Adena is tough enough for people to get and as some people have pointed out Items can take a few days / weeks to sell. I also like how Giran has its own "layout" where people selling certain things all sit in one area of the town Its very neat to a newer player like me.
The AH is pretty used on all other game so am sure it will be user here too but the thing is that in this game, item are so much expensive that is make a probleme.
In the other game you dont see weap/armor sold at 100M / 2B so the fee is so low that the ppl dont care.
But in L2 the in game market is too hight,i up that ncsof will make the fee more low too.
I want the AH but sould be more nice if the fee price is lower...
well, as I saw the Auction House work out will be very good. The developers could convert the AH to items of Lineage 2, by this way it will be a positive and useful feature.
Some ppls will use it some ppls will not is up to each person im fun of AH the only think i loved in AION put ur stuffs go xp and sell ( if u lucky in same day ) but i agree is too high for the l2 economy u never find prices like 1 bil in other games so maybe for this items u will have to use old time classic spamm shout giran and the alt shop dwarf

Well 0.7% of the item it mean 770 000 adena by day if the item is 110 000 000 adena.
item for 2 000 000 mean 14 000 adena by day.
etc
OFC ncsof will surly improve it cause L2 in game price is very highter then all other mmo for the difficulty economic IG.
in other game armor / weapon drop often but is differing stat so you cant drop 10 time the same armor/ weap but without the totaly same stats. ppl sell it depanding of the stat ++ on it.
When i read " Unique weapon / armor " it maked me think that they will put the same thing in L2 so , if item drop more " with differance " it will decrease price of item and old item will be le less expensif if am right on thats
an auction house destroys any form of open market this game currently has. the fee is good imo to allow player set shops to still exists.
Well, not really. The business is always business you can write pm anytime to player who put something to Auction House and ask him to sell his item at another price or trade it.
Plus, you don't need sitting in middle of the town and wait maybe hours or days to sell your stuffs simple put them to AH and play the game.
Next of them you will save energy and will pay fewer electricity monthly payments:D:D:D
The sound when you enter Giran, the area of shops and how all looks like is amazing, if you do that you can simply change music in towns also since they wont be same towns again with Auction house.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling!!! This will not change the game, yet it will help those that would like to pay the fee and sell stuff while doing other in-game task. Let's not forget those that complained it cost too much money to leave their computers on all the time to sell items. Those subscribers didn't have characters sitting in Giran square for 24 hours.
It is not the end of the world and those that want to use it will and those that don't won't. Funny thing is that life will go on.... it will go on UNTIL December 21, 2012!!!!!

21 december should be the GoD US live server ? XD ( joking )
For casual players, the AH is going to be a godsend. If you didn't have a character sitting in town selling your items 24/7, then this AH is great news, no matter how high the fees are. This really only negatively affects those who have their boxes sitting in town all day, trying to sell items for twice what they're worth.
OMG, this will bring all prices down!! People will be able to actually afford stuf!!
/Quit
Seriously? I vote for having the auction thingy. Dont like the fee? Just wait and it will be removed like the original weight-based mailing fee, we just need tons of crying like before.
I think they should not implement AH as it is in WoW but rather like a search engine... Shops still need to be run as they are now, but you can use NPCs to search for things across all shops in the town (or towns) - if you find what you like the NPC will give you the persons name to /target and you will find what you were looking for a lot more easily.
Personally i don't like doing damage over time (wearing it out) and consuming rediculious amounts of power unnecessisarly...
AKA.. leaving sell shop up..
Anyone that is against a full on Auction house is utterly stupid.... i don't care what your reasons are be it potential game economics or "i like the game sitting and selling" bs.....
And quit comparing some of these things to WoW.... wow ripped off tons of other MMO or games in general to build there system.. want to know why WoW is referred to so bloody often.. because in many cases.. they did stuff right, and made it work... and work well.... auction houses didn't suddenly appear in WoW .. and become the first to have it...

actually it's the number one thing brought up constantly... even if someone didn't say it in this thread... it's either thought or has come across without necessarily being said .... because it's been referred to 100's of times since the dawn of these forums about a "similare auction house" system for the game.. and WoW is ALWAYS brought into it.... either by being "like wow" or go Play wow.. leave l2 alone or whatever...
why can't AH just be a one time commission-based payment? :/ a % per day charge is *way* too much... when many items take days to sell
You can still do your old-school sit-on-the-ground store.

Agreed 100%. I don't want to get a 2nd account just to sell my stuff while I'm playing. And if the fee goes straight to the castle owner, let them have it. I havn't heard of any real government/kingdom that lets people commerce without taking a slice for themselves.
