Faverty Events in association with the Penny Palace will be hosting the 2nd annual

REAL ESTATE AUCTION

 

Date: September 15, 2024

Time: 8pm EDT

EVERLASTING

 

Base codes will be released September 1, 2024. Basecode list below in the responses.

 

There will be 20 auction bases, 10 raffle bases, and 1 base giveaway available for every desire and every budget!

 

Multiple base builders and base owners have signed up to have their bases be a part of the Real Estate Auction. There will be many different styles and themes to choose from! See below on how to sell your base at the auction.

 

Let's get a bunch of players into their new forever homes on the Everlasting server!

 

If you are interested in previewing the available bases, join the Faverty Events discord server and get the updates, extra pictures and details before anyone else!      https://discord.gg/wnaHm5nNRB

 

As usual there will be several types of auctions (traditional auction, raffle & giveaway) along with:

• A new style of base - function only built with a specific theme
• First Time Homebuyer auction - only people who have not purchased or received bases from ANY Faverty Events auction/giveaway may bid and purchase these bases.

 

Registration for Bases

If you are interested in having a base sold at the auction, please contact me on Discord at: domi.sidney_faverty.events or in-game at: @faverty Industries before September 1, 2024.

Base registrations are closed.

 

Please join the Faverty Events discord to get more information about selling your base at the Real Estate Auction.

 

Auction, Raffle, Base Giveaway Fine Print:

 

• Guests at the auction are expected to follow the Penny Palace Nightclub guidelines at all times. Please see the Penny Palace discord for further information: https://discord.gg/4w9vXYG4Es
• Guests are expected to bid in good faith. Please refrain from up-bidding if you have no intention of purchasing the base.
• Guests who win bids are expected to pay the full amount of the winning bid onsite. (Keeping your funds in emails is a good way to ensure you have enough to cover your winning bid.)
• Guests who bid and do not have enough to cover the cost of the base, will forfeit their win. Any transferred funds will be sent back to the player and the base will be re-auctioned. (A player that needs to transfer funds, may communicate with the deed holder (Sidney-Lynne Faverty) and arrange for extra time, not exceeding 30minutes of real life time.)
• Winning bidders can expect to have the base transferred to the SG-less character of their choice on site after the total payment has been made.
• Players may purchase 1 base in the auction. Players who win an additional base in the raffle,  or giveaway, may choose the base they want to keep. If applicable, funds will be reimbursed if needed AFTER the transfer of the property has been made back to the deed holder (Sidney-Lynne Faverty). The base that was not chosen, will become available for purchase in the method it was purchased - ex: if it was won as a raffle, it will return to the raffle pool.
• It is expected that players purchase/win one base in good faith without entering secondary accounts.
• Players who have privately purchased bases from Faverty Events in the past are eligible to purchase/win a base in the traditional auctions, raffle and base giveaway and are subject to the same restrictions and guidelines as all other attendees.
• Players who have never purchased, won or been given a base at ANY Faverty Events auction/giveaway/sale/other event are eligible to bid and purchase in the New First Time Home Buyer auction. Good faith bidding is expected - do not bid if you are not a first time homebuyer.
• A portion of the proceeds of the auction, raffle and silent auction will go to subsidizing base builders and owners who sold bases in the auction below the reserve amount (the reserve amount will not be disclosed) as well as paying any Penny Palace staff members who volunteer their time during the auction. Faverty Events is also pleased to announce that 50% of the proceeds of all Faverty Industries built homes with go to subsidize builders in the HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS base giveaway in December 2024.
• Influence transactions will be done through trades at the auction; not through in-game emails.
• Details of the auction are subject to change without notice. It is your responsibility to read the announcements and follow the guidelines.

 

Raffle (RAFFLE TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT):

 

• Raffle tickets cost 50mil each/5 tickets max per player.
• An early bird ticket will be issued for pre-purchased tickets before September 14.
• Send your requested number of tickets with influence payment in-game to @faverty Industries - I will return your email with your raffle numbers and bonus early bird number if you request tickets and pay before the deadline.
• There will be a limit of 120 tickets issued.
• Raffle tickets are sold on a first come, first served basis. No tickets will be reserved or held.
• Players may purchase raffle tickets on the day of the event from 8-9pm EST from the raffle ticket taker - if there are any available left for purchase.
• Players may only win 1 base in the raffle. (Players may only win/purchase one base - see Auction details for more information.)
• Raffle tickets are issued to the in-game global account you purchased the tickets with. If you win a raffle base and come on a different account or you gave some tickets to someone else, you/they will need to identify which in-game global name the number is attached to. This is a security measure to ensure only ticket holders are eligible to win raffle bases.
• If a player wins an additional base in the raffle, their second win will automatically be rejected and the dice will continue to roll until a number without a prior raffle win/base purchase is rolled.
• The most recent winner decides which base they would like to own.
• The winner of a raffle roll does not need to be present, however you will be issued a base at the end of the auction from the bases that remain without having a choice.
• Raffle winners who are absent from the auction and do not respond to the in-game communication (email and global tell) within 3 days of the auction will forfeit their win and the base will be listed in the next auction or base giveaway.

 

Base Give Away:

 

• All players who are in attendance for the real estate auction are eligible to win the base give away. (See below for exceptions.)
• Players will need to register at the auction to be counted in the give away (Name of the player taking base giveaway registrations will be announced during the event).
• The winner of the base giveaway must be present at the auction and respond to tells and broadcasts of their win. Failure to respond within 15 minutes, despite being present in the base, will default the win and another winner will be chosen.
• Each player will be assigned a number upon registration. A dice roll will determine which number wins the base giveaway.
• Players are expected to act in good faith by registering only one account to the base giveaway.
• Known alternate accounts will be rejected as well as the original player account.
• EXCEPTION: Players who have purchased/or won a base in the auction already, will not be eligible to win the base giveaway.
• EXCEPTION: If a player is chosen for the base giveaway and they do not want it, they may pass and another winner will be chosen.

BUYER GUIDELINES:

• Feel free to tour the bases for auction, in the raffle, silent auction and the base giveaway at your leisure.
• Feel free to message me @faverty Industries in game or on discord domi.sidney_faverty.events with any questions you have.
• Be sure to have your funds ready for payment. Keep your influence in emails that you can access quickly instead of on multiple toons.
• Make sure you have an SG-less character ready that you can alt to (if needed) or bring a character without an SG attached to the auction should you win a base.
• Completed base pictures are available on the Faverty Events discord: https://discord.gg/wnaHm5nNRB
• Base shift and drift is an unpleasant reality of the nature of the City of Heroes game. Efforts will be taken to ensure that base drift is corrected before the sale of a base, but some bases are more prone to drift than others and a correction may stray once again after being fixed. If you notice base drift in your PURCHASED or WON base, please contact me and I will repair it once. If it shifts again, it is most likely an irreparable base shift error. If an older base is sold and you notice base drift, please contact the event organizer. The struck through guidelines above will be followed.

BASE BUILDERS and CONTRIBUTORS:

Faverty Events would like to acknowledge all the base builders, base owners and contributors for helping make this event a reality. Building 20+ bases in a few months is a major feat and we am honored to be hosting this event. along with the Penny Palace. We have enjoyed working with new base builders and base builders developing specialty skills. Base builder and contributor recognition will be made at the auction unless a builder has requested anonymity.

Globals of the builders will not be announced at the auction unless we have permission to do so.

Faverty Events would also like to thank The Penny Palace for the use of their nightclub base.

If anyone has any questions, concerns, need clarification, or to be put in contact with a builder, feel free to private message in-game: @faverty industries or on Discord: @domi.sidney_faverty.events

 

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the auction on Saturday, September 15, 2024 at 8-11pm EDT.

Heya folks!

Last night, the Faverty Events discord members enjoyed sneak peeks at four bases in the auction roster - Cliffside, Crescent Towers, All the Essentials and Mickinley Street! They had 15 minutes in each base and the base builders were on sight for questions and commentaries! A fabulous evening and one that the Faverty Events Admin will be hosting for future real estate auctions!

Join the discord for other benefits!

Also, the auction base "Hobiton" (base builder Max) is listed in the Nature themed base showcase. If you enjoyed the Lord of the Rings series, this base is a must-see! 15 tiny homes, 9 of them enterable, a giant treehouse and tons of little crooks, crannies and hidden areas. Definitely check it out as well as the other amazing bases listed there!

Hello Everyone!

 

If you came out to attend the Real Estate Auction last night, it was certainly a wild ride! We saw new record base prices, crazy bidding jumps and much excitement from everyone - including people who were just there to cheer others on! It was definitely an evening to remember! 31 one base owners are thrilled with their new acquisitions and are probably moving in as I am writing this!

 

I thank everyone for coming out and supporting our roleplayers, the Penny Palace and the Faverty Events team. We certainly had a blast!

 

 

Now, for the results!

 

The Real Estate Base Auction brought in just under a staggering 91 billion influence. The base builders and owners were paid 100% of the proceeds of the sale of their bases - 81.8 billion influence. The operating costs and thank you gift to the Penny Palace came to 2.8 billion. We also had two people donate funds for a total of 295million, which helped sponsor raffle tickets. The remaining funds from the raffle sales and all sales from the Faverty Industries built bases (roughly 6.4 billion influence) will go towards funding the next big Faverty Events base giveaway.

 

That's right, The Home for the Holidays base giveaway will be back this year in December. If you remember it from last year, you wrote Santa and told him why you should receive a base to be home for the holidays or you nominated a friend and explained why they should receive a base. With a cute little holiday market - which will also be back - Santa made his appearance and gave 33 bases away to the players of CoH on the Everlasting server.

 

Keep an eye out for announcements for details of the event. If you're already in the Faverty Events discord server, you'll get the announcement a few days before everyone else! Join the discord and be in the know! https://discord.gg/wnaHm5nNRB

 

Some interesting facts:

• There were only two repeat buyers from the 2023 auction. All other buyers were first time auction winners.
• For the first time since holding base raffles (Faverty Events and Black Friday), tickets were sold out a week before the event.
• The highest price paid in 2023 for a base was 6 billion influence. In 2024, the new record is 15 billion influence.
• The base giveaway had a record of 52 registrations compared to the 23 registrations in 2023.
• In 2023, 15 bases, 2 raffle bases, 1 giveaway base and 1 silent auction base were listed in the auction. In 2024, 20 bases, 10 raffle bases and 1 giveaway base were listed.

 

What's in store for the future?

 

Faverty Events was thrilled to be partnered with the Penny Palace for this event. For the next Real Estate Auction, Faverty Events will be considering other groups and clubs to partner up with in the CoH community on the Everlasting Shard. If you are a leader of a group interested in collaborating for the next Real Estate Auction, let's chat! Feel free to contact Faverty Events on discord: domi.sidney_faverty.events

 

In Conclusion...

One last hearty thank you to everyone who contributed and supported this event. It was a joy and honor to organize the event and help meet the housing need of City of Heroes roleplaying community.

 

See everyone next year for the 2025 Real Estate Base Auction!
