My idea is basically the same as the first one you listed.
It will calculate an average based on previously sold items of similar quality.
My question was what to do when no item sales were found for that specific item, I think I'm just going to have it display "No sales have been made yet for this Item", and require ~5 or so sales to calculate an Average. But they will be notified that it's only an ESTIMATE. Just to help give an idea at how much your item is worth.
But yeah, there would have to be a coin fee for listing, to help them not be abused.
I've also decided to have two different listing types, one being a "Bid war" where you can set a starting price, and time limit for the auction, players will bid and the highest bidder will win the item.
Second is a "Fixed Price", where you simply set the price and wait for someone to buy it for that price exactly.
