is it allowed to do mystery auctions? where people bet on a creature that they don't know what it is.Maybe giving a few hints about it... (it'll be a donation creature, but just not telling what it is)

I'd think, it's not allowed...

Rules of Conduct - Merchant District subsection wrote:The following information is mandatory for auctions:
- description of the creature(s) involved in the auction

and:

The description of a creature must either include a link to the creature in question, or the following information:
- species
- gender
- generation
- whether it is named or not

ok, thanks for the information!

If someone is auctioning off an egg, can they say that the auction ends when it hatches?

as no one knows exactly when the egg hatched, I would say no.
You can only see when the egg was taken, and there you only see the date. an auction needs a time to end. Otherwise people could still bid although the egg already hatched and no one could proof which was the last valid bid.
So I think this would not be allowed.

Also, some eggs hatch faster than others-Koi, kitsunes, direwolves, those eggs can be hatched really quickly so they auction would lst half an hour, where as some creatures are really slow at hatching-Icists, any quest creature, CWs, so that auction might last a couple days.

Also, to much potential for cheating- someone could post their bid, then swipe the code and hatch the egg and claim theirs was the last bid before it hatched.
