# Shitty Auctions

### How do Shitty Auctions work?

There are 3 channels in our Discord, 🏛-shitty-auctions-1 and 🏛-shitty-auctions-2 or 🏛-shitty-auctions-3. These channels are where you can create and bid on Shitty Auctions.

{% hint style="info" %}
There can only be 1 active Shitty Auction in each channel.
{% endhint %}

### How do I create an auction?

There are 3 Discord commands that you can use for Shitty Auctions.

`/createauction` allows you to create a Shitty Auction in the channel. You must specify an Asset ID. You can also specify a starting price, min bid difference and a duration (in hours with a min of 12 and max of 48 hours, defaults to 12 hours).

`/viewauction` allows you to display the active Shitty Auction in the channel. This is so you can always see the latest details and time remaining.

`/bid` allows you to bid on the active Shitty Auction in the channel. You must provide the amount you want to bid and it must be higher than the max bid + min bid difference

### How long does each auction last?

Each auction defaults to 12 hours. You can update this if you'd like to make to longer/shorter. After the 12 hours, when someone uses a command in the channel, the active auction will immediately end and post the winner/highest bid in the channel.

### What happens when I win an auction?

After each auction, the creator of the auction and the highest bidder will need to get together and trade their NFT for Shitty Treats. You can use /tip to send treats if you'd like to. A new auction can then be created.
