Is there going to be a way to remove an item from an auction if you change your mind/pick the wrong item, or remove your bid?
A gui for the whole thing could be cool, giving players a visual interface to work with rather than only using commands.
/auction sell (blockID) (ammount) (starting bid)
Quite complicated to implement, but I've seen it work elsewhere. If you have an item auctioned for $100, and someone bids $150 for a minute, then in the last 10 seconds of the bid you can only bid if your bid is significantly (perhaps 50%) higher. Just an example, but the idea is to stop people sniping things for a dollar more than the last person. Thoughts?

Perhaps have it put the things in your active hand slot up with /auction sell (starting bid) (optional amount, default is everything in hand)

It was either that or there would be a minimum bid value overall so you couldn't just add a dollar to it at anytime
F3 + h will show you the IDs

Well the hope is to set up the aliases like world edit does but if that proves too difficult (or time consuming really) the item in had would be the way to go.

I wasn't saying it's impossible to find them. I was saying that for a custom plugin, that doesn't seem like the best way to go.
Don't get me wrong, an auction system would be great. Maybe this has already been discussed, but the only problem I see is the amount of spam Auctions create in chat.Would this be on a separate chat channel, that players would be able to turn on/off? What I think might be a good idea would be an announcement for when a bid starts, something like "(player name) has started an auction for (block/amount) starting at (price)", as well as"(player name)'s auction is now over."This way, only players involved with the auction get the bulk of the messages, such as updates when another bid is made, etc., and would significantly decrease the amount of messages people get if they don't want to participate in the auction
