How to unlock the Shopaholic achievement in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Definitive Guide

The auction itself is a story element and you cannot miss it. Yet, as LiQing888 pointed out, you can miss out on the bidding itself. Be wary not to choose food instead of the actual bidding :)

There are 3 items on the block in total with a time limit to raise their price.

You can "change" their price by doing small sidequests right before the auction starts, but in total, you need 1000 crowns to buy them all. At this point in the game, you probably have more than that, but I was not sure if my 10K stack is enough. It was :)

If there is a modification if you skip all the side stuff, please let me know in the comments so I can update the solution.

If you are having problems unlocking this chievo and you are doing everything right, Roosta also reports: I also had problems with getting this achievement to unlock on the GOTY edition. After researching online, I found that resetting the Xbox's system cache and doing the achievement again fixed the problem. To reset the system cache, simply go to the Network section in settings. Go to the advanced options and then clear alternative mac address. This should restart the console and then you should be good to go.

Same issue for me, it's bugged, it took me 3 tries to get it. Last try I did not skip any dialog with X and got it. It may help.

Also glitched for me on version 1.60 on the One X. I tried 3 times letting the dialogue run without skipping without luck. A hard reset is what worked for me. I didn't delete my cache

This dlc is a joke. I wouldn't of paid if i knew it was so broken. Missions and achivement broke. They shouldn't be allowed to sell it.

This is a missable trophy during the quest "Open Sesame!" Bring at least 1,000 crowns. Make sure when given the dialogue choice you choose to bid at the auction. After your wee banker friend gets you into the auction house (cutscene) you will have the optional task of talking to 3 people, then take a seat on the bench when you're ready. Bid on all 3 items until you win them. Very easy.

This achievement is obtainable during the quest entitled "Open Sesame!" and is slightly missable. Make sure you have at least 1000 crowns on hand before starting this quest. 

Upon arriving to the Borsodis' Auction House, you'll meet up with Vimme Vivaldi and head inside the manor. Make an extra save inside the manor right away. Now travel upstairs with the banker, speak with all three of his acquaintances, and then wait for the auction to finally begin. While seated, Vivaldi will ask you if you plan on bidding for items. Respond affirmatively! If you tell him that you'd rather wait in the back, you'll miss this achievement. 

During each item's auction, you will be on a short timer to raise the bid or back out, allowing your opponents to win the item and thus missing this achievement. Always raise the bid against the other buyers! The first item being auctioned is a Brass Eagle figurine. This will set you back 350 crowns. The second item, a portrait of Starry Night Over the Pontar, will only cost 60 crowns. The third and final item in the auction is a rather stylish pair of spectacles that will go for 350 crowns. After winning all three items, the achievement will unlock. If you messed up along the way, make sure to reload the extra save file that you made earlier.

**Missable**

This is part of the main quest "Open Sesame!".

You will need a total of 710 gold to buy all 3 items that are put up for sale on the auction house. When asked to bid, simply keep bidding until you win the item. Your choices are on a timer, so don't take too much time to respond.

The trophy can be easily missed!

This may cost more than 600 coins, you can also ask the banker for another 100, then you will return everything.

we buy three lots - we take the first one after a third markup on it (the granny will raise the price after her), the second and third lots are tried according to the same scheme - now I got it

All your money will be returned to you with interest! And be sure to “borrow” 100 coins from Vim - the banker will not ask for them back. The painting will sell for 500 + a trophy in a jar for 5% gold (~100 coins when sold) bookseller in Novigrad in the shop)), the glasses are simply stylish, but you can get 150-200 coins, I think, and after dismantling the owl you get a letter with instructions and a key , explore an area with an interesting past, as well as good loot.
