the orders part of the auction is all fine and dandy, but it doesn't work for items without a buyout bid...
i think that items that finish without buyers should be assumed to have a sellout price of whatever the opening bid was for it, and then be used to fill any orders..
on a similar note, you should be able to set an "auto bid" function that you can set a maximum bid price and have the auctioneer bid for you.. like they can do in real life.. ( the cash being "reserved" from your account at the time of placing, like it does with the orders.. )
maybe a "bid increment" to prevent things getting drawn out bidding in 1 ped increments.. ( so you can up the bid by 20 peds per bid etc, trying to force the other bidder to back down.. )
actually, this sounds like a good job to try and set up in game.. have a player working as a buyer.. the only problem would be one of trust.. can you trust someone to get you these things and not run off with your cash ...??
