Auctioning items and businesses isn't the key to fixing the economy. Just because you're removing money out of the economy doesn't mean you're fixing it at all. It helps, but over time it's not going to mean anything at all. I've explained it many times.

Say someone buys Speedy Pizza for 200k.
200k was removed out of the economy.
Now the owner is selling pizza so he can make back the money he spent buying the business.
Players buy pizza, and the owner eventually raises 200k.

Where did that 200k come from? Players.
Where did the players get the money from? Jobs like mining / flower picking.
Where does the money come from these jobs? Nowhere. The money is added into the economy with no definite source.

You may take out 200k, but no matter what the 200k is going to creep back into the economy, thus all this auctioning is worthless.

edit:
Angel, before you were even hired back I've posted quite a few times in a constructive way about why certain things in the economy won't work. Nobody listened to me. The insulting is just a result of that.
