What is so special about GW Auctions?
GW Auctions is an auction site developed specially for Guild Wars. This gives it an edge over the other auctions sites which use a standard system. GW Auctions is also the only site where you can actually "see" the item before you buy it. The seller gives all relevant data, and potential buyers will see the item as if it was in their inventory. This means there is no need for cryptic signs like "20/20 15^50 +30"
Quicklist
For an ever increasing number of items, you don't even have to fill out the data yourself. A large amount of items are in the Quicklist, including almost every unique (green) weapon, all upgrade components, inscriptions, runes, insignias, miniatures and more.
Screenshot library
You can supply your own screenshot with an auction, but even if you don't there is still a chance that the item is in the screenshot library along with 1951 other screenshots.
Advanced search
You can search for anything about an item. Its name, its colour and even effects and descriptions. For example, you can search for "Energy +5" or you can search for "health" to sum up all items that modify your health.
Easy tracking
You can view all your own auctions on a simple page and you can track auctions to watch their progress just as simply.
You can even get notifications when items are added that you want,
or have a look at the items others want. Need a price check? Try the price records first, or ask someone at the forums.

The most joyous of activities on the GW Wiki has to be picking user boxes. I'm glad to announce that there is yet another one of these useful things out there: the GW Auctions user box. You will automatically be added to the category of "Users who trade on GW Auctions" by using this user box as well.
You can find the user box here:

Today, the entire screenshot library has been recompiled. Both the offical and unofficial wiki have been used to get a complete as possible list of items. There are now 1952 screenshots in the database in total, as opposed to 1523 items yesterday. All these 429 new items are unique or non-unique weapons. It was mainly the staff, wand, focus item and scythe categories that were incomplete.
In order to avoid conflicts with the old screenshots, I had to create an entirely new database. The old one isn't deleted however, so that items with screenshots from that database don't have broken links instead of screenshots. Any new screenshots will be selected from the new database.
Another big change is that the screenshots are now type-dependant. Before, all screenshots were checked when the database was searched. All axe, sword, bow, scythe, etc screenshots were searched when you were adding a miniature. Now, the screenshots have been divided into categories depending on the item type. So while the database has grown, overall search time has gone down noticeably. There is also a global category which is always searched for items with an unclear item type. Be sure you select the correct item type!

Many items are being put up for auction with incorrect data or errors. Typically, these are minor typographical errors or use of the wrong colour for each line of the auctioned item. Occasionally people are using the Owner's Comments to describe Upgrades and Inscriptions rather than show them in the website Item Panel.
Item detail must be entered so that it appears within the GW Auctions Item Panel as it appears in the Item Panel as viewed in-game. This is critical to successful Searches, Wishlist matching and future Price Record searches.
In the majority of cases, the Moderators will endeavour to make the corrections for you and we now have the facility to notify you of significant changes showing the item before and after our moderation.
Unfortunately, in a few instances, we will still need to return incorrect items to the Owners to edit and relist themselves.
If anyone has a problem using the Editors (either Modern or Classic) and needs advice, please do ask.
