The Vendue | A L C R Y S T

Winter has frosted Alcryst like the cold blush of a corpse, hardening every surface with frigid ice searing through the depths of its heart. The plants are lethargic and slow, the sky is desaturated and dull, and the wind is a violent gale ripping apart flesh and soil alike.

The Vendue

The Vendue can be used to post a sale advertisement for any tamed horse you own or to browse through those already listed if interested in purchasing one.

[PTab=Rules]

Tamed horses may be sold, purchased, traded, or otherwise transferred through the Vendue. You can also arrange stud and broodmare breedings. These transactions are handled IC between characters and are not overseen by staff. You may include OOC notes when the topic cannot be discussed IC, such as offering art as payment. You may also include an OOC list of the horse's details, such as Height: 16.2hh, with the bulleted information acting as an IC advertisement on the Vendue's bulletin.
Characters may use an intermediary, such as an veteran equestrian for finding an ideal horse. The intermediary must receive public permission to act on their behalf; the intermediary is not held responsible for the outcome or restricted by any particular rules unless established through a contract made by a lawyer.
Sellers are not automatically aware of their tamed horse's specific information without a valid IC reason, such as utilizing the sensory power Gustatory Level 3 Translation from the Underground. For example, an equine's age is usually an estimate and their personality can only be gleaned from how the character has chosen to behave thus far. Veterinarians and other experienced consultants can be useful in discerning subtleties.
It is against Faewin law to intentionally misdirect customers, such as drugging a horse to induce a milder temperament or lying about their contest victories. However, staff will not intervene unless reported, following standard Faewin protocol. Customers are not automatically aware IC if a seller is deceiving them without a valid IC reason, such as a skillful veterinarian deducing warning signs or the use of a relevant power.
Horses can be accommodated IC in the Vendue's paddocks, pastures, arenas, stalls, or at a hitching post. Sellers may allow customers to interact with and ride their horses if desired. To list a horse, create a new thread in the Vendue using the label "Selling."
If you are searching for a horse and wish to browse various offers, create a new thread in the Vendue using the label "Buying," allowing sellers to approach you on your own terms.
If you are looking to breed your stud or broodmare, label your thread "Breeding."
Your threads can have any content you wish to publish, such as acceptable compensation, any contracts made through a lawyer, if you are open to negotiation, or other requirements to be fulfilled. Sellers may also utilize any sale method, such as a public auction, silent auction, or direct buy.
If you are a stable owner, then you can purchase your own sub-board within Vendue from the Underground catalog. This helps showcase your stable's sales and offers full customization and organization. You may design the IC appearance of your private Vendue section and may institute any official threads, such as rules or an index.
You may further advertise your Vendue thread(s) in the "adbox" in the left-hand sidetable beside the cbox, the IC Newsletter, the homepage footer's classifieds, through character interaction via standard roleplaying, and in the field "promotion" in your account under edit profile > personal. You may also "bump" your thread every 7 days by posting in your selling/buying thread again, which will bring it to the top of the thread list.
A horse's value is generally determined by its: stats, armor, horseshoes, sensory powers, contribution if any, advantages from the Underground item "functional," temperament, age, experience, contest/quest/battle victories, stud/broodmare registration, visual appeal, if they are reborn, if they have a clone or companion, the roleplayer's activity and writing skill, and Vapid Fen protection tiers. If the seller is not aware of the horse's perks IC, they can be listed OOC for the roleplayer's knowledge; this can only be used to gauge the horse's value between members and does not affect the characters themselves.
By default, the permission of the tamed horse's roleplayer is not required for their horse to be sold unless other arrangements are in place through an OOC contract made through a lawyer. However, the horse's roleplayer is in control of their character's behavior during any attempted sales and may choose to sabotage with unpleasant actions.
Once a sale is finalized and all parties have posted public consent to the end terms, post in Invocation with a link to the Vendue thread, tagging the IC and OOC accounts of all involved individuals and explaining what compensation should be distributed. If selling a horse, staff member will then transfer ownership of the horse through Certification. The previous owner must remove the sold horse's name from their mini-profile information under edit profile > personal; the new owner must add the purchased horse's name; the horse must change their owner's name. Lastly, the Vendue thread will be archived into Closed Sales, whether it is a selling or breeding thread. If the thread occurred within a stable's purchased sub-board, then it will instead be archived in their personal records sub-sub-board.
If you wish to withdraw your thread, such as deciding you wish to keep the horse instead, then post in Invocation and staff will archive your thread.
