Guide: How to use the Auction
2040World
The in-game auction allows players to buy and sell earned resources, weapons, and consumables. To place bids or purchase auction lots, you'll need the auction currency—AUR (gold). You can earn AUR by selling items on the auction or purchase it directly in the Shop on our website.
1. How to open the auction
In the lobby screen, click the "AUCTION" tab or press the F2 key.
2. How to find items & sort search results
Quick Search: Right-click an item’s icon and select "Find on Auction" from the drop-down menu.
Alternative Search Methods: Use the category filters on the left or enter the lot's name in the 'Enter text' search bar.
Sorting Items:
Open the "Sorting" menu, click the dropdown option on the right, and select your preferred filter.
3. How to buy or bid on an auction lot
To purchase an auction lot outright, use the "BUY" button when available. If this option isn't present, you'll need to place the winning bid to acquire the item.
To place a bid on a selected lot, click the "BID" button, enter your bid amount in the pop-up window that appears, then confirm with "PLACE BID".
Note: All bids must meet or exceed the lot's minimum price - you cannot bid below this base value.
4. How to Track Your Bids
Your active bids are displayed in the auction’s second tab – "TRACKING". The green number shows lots where your bid is currently winning, while the red number indicates lots where your bid has been outbid.
You can modify a placed bid by clicking the "BID" button or instantly purchase the lot using the "BUY" button.
Important: The maximum allowed number of bids is also displayed in this window.
5. How to Create a Lot
Click the "+ADD NEW LOT" button. In the pop-up window labeled "CREATE NEW LOT", you'll be able to create and list your lot for sale.
To enable instant purchase for your lot, check the box next to "Fast Purchase" to set a buyout price.
6. How to Track Your Listed Lots
Your created lots appear in the "MY LOTS" tab. The counter on this tab shows how many of your available lots are currently listed on the auction. Here you can also view the highest bid and remaining purchase time for each lot.
To withdraw a listed lot, click the "COLLECT" button.
Important: You cannot modify the price of a listed lot. You must first withdraw it and then relist it with the new price.

- Your purchased lot will be in the "Depot".
- Transfer it to your storage before the timer expires.
If won via "BID":
