How to unlock the Auctioneer achievement in FINAL FANTASY IX - Definitive Guide
Note that four items are for another achievement (Sword of kings) which you need to win and sell on:
Une’s Mirror - Sell this item to the Nobleman at Cafe Carta.
Griffin’s Heart - Sell this item to an Adventurer at Cafe Carta.
Rat Tail - Sell this item to an Adventurer at Cafe Carta.
Doga’s Artifact - Sell this item to the Scholar that resides at the Synthesis Shop.
If he says they are going to take a short break, just go out and come back into the auction house. Oh and have ALOT of gil first, I'll have to come back later on.
Anyway, great solution.
Edit: just discovered it will be auctioned later on in the game, not with the first visit
You first arrive in Treno with Dagger, Steiner and Marcus. Walk to the front of the stage and a ? will appear when items are up for bid. Press X to place a bid. You can win this trophy after winning ten auctions (there will be four each time you enter the auction house). You can do this the first time you are in Treno if you have sufficient gil.
Note that early bidding tends to increase the final price. It is best to wait until the auctioneer says "Do I hear anymore?" before bidding as this lowers the chance of someone placing another bid, thus raising the price.
In the Treno Auction House, you can bid on and win valuable items e.g. accessories but sometimes valuable key items as well. Located in Treno, it can first be visited when you visit Treno with Dagger, Steiner and Marcus. You can obtain this trophy on your first visit during Disc 2 but you may not have enough Gil for it and regardless, you will need to win five different key items at a later time to obtain Excalibur (see Sword of Kings for more information) so it might be a good idea to wait until a later time.
You can win any 10 items from the Treno auctions starting in Disc 2 to unlock this achievement. Be aware that you need to win five specific items for "Sword of Kings" so I'd suggest waiting to get those first, then winning five other random cheap things after that to get the achievement.
