Found this while looking through the map of Nightfall, from a previous thread, so I cropped it and stuck it on here .

I think it would be the perfect place for an auction house, especially because in the pic I see Market and Bazaar. Also would give people a great reason to buy the new campaign. Plus a big surprise if it really was an auction house, another bonus yes??

The Kodash Bazaar and Yahnur Market, sounds pretty cool.

Plus I just want to hear Knightsaber's opinion on this post...rofl.

No, the Bazaar will be the place where we get our lv. 20 Armor. (Since it's the only town after Kamadan)

I dont think its going to be an action house. acorrding to lore Vabbi is a land of wealthy merchants, so while a little town may have a market the most important city will be a huge Bazaar.

There's a Marketplace and a Bazaar in Kaineng too, don't see any auction houses there- just way too many quests and Am Fah

I doubt it, it seems pretty far in the game. I'm betting on the Sunspear Sanctuary being the town with max armor (plus it seems like it could be the "home base" that a couple previews have mentioned).

Yeah, maybe you are right. I had not seen the full map.

Maybe the Kodash Bazaar is like Amnoon Oasis. It's there because it's there.

If there was an auction house, ArenaNet would have told us. That's a huge selling point.

Errr... There is a place in Factions called MARKETPLACE - did you see an auction house there? :P

True, Kaineng and Marketplace seemed like the ideal place, but we can't rule it out, maybe Kodash will be an auction house, its not impossible.

Then again it mostly likely won't be...

That mainlan's first major town would probably be "THE" place for all selling in Nightfall, just like kaineng.

For a major thing like an auction house, I'm sure Anet would have announced something about it by now just to boost Nightfall sales.

Well, Factions also has "the marketplace", and it wasn't an auction house. I wouldn't count on it. Besides, that's the capital city icon, not an outpost icon. AND it wouldn't make sense to add the auction house somewhere deep inside Elonian territory, it'd more likely be someplace easily accessible, like the battle isles.

I dont think it is.

I agree with the above poster with the whole "Marketplace" outpost, but Gaile has also said in her recent in-game chats that there is no real news of any auction house yet.

When they do a form of an auction system also, they would add it to all chapters I would think, which would mean it would just be an npc.
