Who Should Play
In Bid Wars 1: Auction Simulator, the primary goal is to acquire valuable items by participating in various types of auctions at locations such as container docks, antique markets, and train stations. You then resell these items for profit, gradually expanding your business empire. Explore different auction venues to find antiques, collectibles, and other rare items. Purchase items stored at the location at a reasonable price, issue high-value collectibles for resale to generate revenue, and use these funds to acquire new collectibles in higher-quality areas while upgrading the shop to secure greater profits.
How to Play
- It is impossible to preview the specific contents of a box; one can only estimate its potential value based on location type and historical data. Whether a box yields high-value collectibles involves a degree of luck, but overbidding and opening a box containing low-value items may result in losses.
- After successfully acquiring an item, you can immediately view its cash value to determine whether it's profitable. High-value antiques and collectibles can yield substantial profits, while ordinary junk typically brings low returns or even losses.
- By accumulating funds through profits, you can unlock higher-tier auction locations such as antique markets, libraries, and train stations, increasing the probability of unearthing high-value collectibles.
- After successfully bidding on a storage box, you can resell its contents. You may sell immediately or engage in bargaining with buyers. Quickly judge the slider and tap “stop” instantly to randomly select one of the following discounts: -30%, -10%, +20%, or +50%. Selling at +50% yields a 50% profit margin. Each item can only be sold once, testing your reflexes.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can't see what's inside beforehand, but different locations have typical patterns of what they yield. For instance, container ports are more likely to have items like fans or kettles, while antique markets often turn up gold rings, porcelain, or vintage pieces. With experience, you can judge whether it'll be profitable.
In the early stages, prioritize locations with low starting bids and minimal risk, such as container ports and antique markets. Even if you acquire ordinary items, you can break even.
Upgrading increases your income by raising the selling price of all resold items, directly boosting your profits. It also shortens sales time, accelerating the transaction speed of goods, reducing waiting periods, and enhancing overall trading efficiency.
