Your currency for placing pre-bids! Each coin = 1 bid. Buy coin packs to start your treasure hunt.

The first phase where you place coins to help trigger the auction. Every coin reduces your Buy Now price!

The final battle! After triggering, eligible pirates compete in real-time with actual money bids.

Bidders who participated in pre-bidding and can now compete in the Live Auction. Only the worthy may enter!

Purchase the item instantly at a reduced price based on your pre-bids. Every coin you placed saves you money!

Shows your progress toward triggering! The more you bid, the more intel you get about how close you are.

Earned automatically when an auction you participated in concludes with a paid winner and you didn't win — 1 point per paid coin spent on pre-bids. Spend them in Loyalty Auctions! Points expire 6 months after they're issued and have no cash value.

A special auction where pre-bids are placed with loyalty points instead of coins. Once triggered, the live phase runs in dollars just like any other auction. Some require a higher loyalty rank to enter.

Your standing in the crew, based on lifetime loyalty points earned: Deckhand, First Mate, Quartermaster, and Captain. Higher ranks unlock exclusive Loyalty Auctions.
