Overview
- Brokers are locations in the JLA Watchtower, Hall of Doom and House of Legends which act as 'auction houses' in DC Universe Online. They consist of automated kiosks which allow a player to buy or sell items with a small fee being paid up front for the service, making them available for 12, 24 or 48 hours. Unlike other 'auction houses', the broker system only has a simple buyout system, and does not incorporate open bidding. Players can also use a Proto Broker-Bot consumable to summon a broker drone anywhere (except for PvP arenas) for a short period.
- Members have 20 auction slots, premium access have 5 auction slots, and free players have 0.
- After an update, both mailboxes and brokers in the Watchtower and the Hall of Doom have been moved to banks for convenience.
- With game update 44 the brokers for heroes and villains have been merged.
- The deposit fee depends on the sell price that you set:
- A few items including non-episode Exobytes and Hero of Kandor gear boxes simply have 5% of the sell price, rounded down.
- Other items have a base deposit, that stays the same regardless of the amount of item, and applies even if your sell price is lower than that. Compound Omega has $150, Doomsday Plague Probiotic or episode-specific exobytes have $50, Soder Cola Extreme has $30, and Soder Cola has $6. This is added to the 5% for the total deposit. For example, if you try to sell Compound Omega at $1000, the deposit would be $200 ($150 plus 5% of $1000, which is $50).
