Auction Question

[JohnD212]

I have a few things I just got in game and I want to sell them using my Market Board....everytime I go to list it ..it tells me that I need a container. I went to a broker but didn't see any kinds of boxes or bags...I have no idea what I need to list this item. I tried dragging the item to the box on the Sell Tab but it required me to use a container.Can someone explain what i need to do? I don't have any idea where or what they mean by container.

<p>go to a broker npc, and purchase a box, just type something like rosewood box into the broker search window, and buy a box, then go to your house or use the npc you just bought the box from and click the sell tab in the broker window,there will be empty spaces in the top left of the screen, drag the box you bought from inventory and drag it to one of those empty spaces on the broker window, then drag from inventory what you wonna sell and drag it to the box in the broker window. then list it and wait for the money.</p><p>good luck and safe journies, hope i wasnt vague</p>

<p>You can also make a box (bags as well).  All characters can make ALL items up to level 10 without specializing in a crafting skill (except for tinkering and transmuting.)   </p><p>It's a very powerful ability for new players that I didn't fully appreciate when I first started (took me forever to just find about how to craft, and once you do so, you will need to obtain resources and gain crafting experience, so if you don't know to begin, don't hesitate to ask. </p><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mboards.eqtraders.com/eq2/forumdisplay.php?f=4" target="_blank">http://www.mboards.eqtraders.com/eq...display.php?f=4</a> is my favorite place for crafting information. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

That is to go to your house, activate the Market Board, then Right click on the Sale's Crate that you put in your Broker Slot and choose "Place in house" this will give you a placable Crate that people can activate to buy stuff from you. It is a good Idea to keep these crates in the room that you zone into, and to not hide them, as people who want to by direct from you, don't want to play hide and seek with your sales crate, after shelping across norath to get the item direct from your house.
