I haven't had much time to think through how this would work but I think it would be helpful to be able to access the Auction House without logging into the Spiral Knights game as we know it. I was thinking a separate java app that would access only the AH and nothing else. Well... maybe buying CE too but you can do that from here. There would have to be some limitations in place so you can't be in the Clockworks and on the AH app at the same time. Or if you are in the Clockworks, your gear set, materials, and crowns are frozen at the point when you left the Arcade. That way you can't be constantly putting things up for auction once you pick them up or bidding on items in the middle of the game.

Like I said, I haven't had much time to think through it. I have some bids out right now and it would be nice to check on them without having to go upstairs, log in to SK, then get to the AH.

Also, it would be nice to have a Refresh button on the "My Bids" tab or to have the timing (Very Long, Long, Medium, Short, Very Short) update automatically like the bid price does when it changes.
