Is this the full list or partial list? If the purpose of an auction is to sink gold...not sure the items listed above will be very successful with that.

Regular auctions are 20-25 items. Grand auctions 40+ items. Not every auction has to be about setting new records.
If there's nothing on the list you're interested in, there's plenty of games out there that you can use to fill the time. If you're trying to be a non-constructive boss around here, we don't have such a position open.

Will this reduce a 0-slot mount to -1 so that when mounted I can have an additional pet out, sort of like how the -100 sandals can give negative weight?

I think you may be wrong on the record part, it may just set the record for the least amount of gold sunk of any auction. Sorry I don't rubber stamp everything like some other players. Just calling it like I see it.

Goes down to zero, but not lower. Well, since there's no 2-slot ethies out there, this might better be labeled as "make ethy mount be zero slots"

I like the looks of the hole and the tent. This isn't an ancient titan's hammer + water house auction so it won't fetch titans/house prices but it still has items which I find interesting.

Hole in the ground does look good... would be even cooler if it was a real hole and would allow you to fall through it into the basement of a house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The hole looks really cool I think.

Honestly reckon a "Remove Night Sight malus from an item" deed would be more coveted than the "Add night sight" deed. Night sight ruins the games reasonably nice lighting features. Plus all 3rd party apps have an inbuilt night sight feature.

Auction falls at 8am Monday morning for us Aussies so I'll be at work. If someone wants to try and win the hole on my behalf [pm John Warren in game. Would be super sweet if we could occasionally get different times instead of Sunday evening for these auctions. Same time but on Saturday puts it at some point on the weekend for everyone around the world...

As usual, thanks for the auction tho.

Seconded. So much so I wish they could just be bought with tokens or a reasonable level of ED. Not having Night Sight in no way provides an advantage for a player, would be nice if we could just remove it without much hassle or cost.

Thanks for the list Wil... As usual the "Night Sight deed" attracts only 1 bid. Trust Me, try the opposite deed, I guarantee you that a "remove night sight deed" would be far more coveted.

Also I know this doesn't get much traction, but please consider alternate time slots for these small auctions. No Aussie with a job can attend anything on Sunday night after 1800 or so (shard time), as that's work time Monday morning here..... I know, I know, do what's better for the majority... But even just making them Saturday means it's Sunday morning for us ... If it's Saturday evening (shard time) then it's the weekend for everyone around the globe..... I'm glad the main day of the grand auction is on Saturday, at least I can attend that one. If it's going to be a permanent fixture make it Saturday then everyone can participate. I don't mind if it rotates through different times or days and I can't attend every single one. But always Sunday evenings is rough beats.

PS listen to me about the night sight deed +C. I was smack on with the Legendary Halberd if I recall correctly...
