Pany auctions in the vend are pointless anyway. People want attention, so they'll hold it in the Exchange 3nodding whee


I held one once there that was pretty successful. Of course, I had a thread in Marketplace Discussion. whee

....i've noticed they said how the owners of the panty's/boxers or whatever that belonged to....hmm...a famous guy like lanzer or something the boxers price would rise....couldn't you just buy a boxer/panty and selll it saying it was Ling's? they alll look the same anyway....who are they trying to fool? though i've seen people actually bidding on those >.> 3nodding
Exactly what i thought.

No one sells cheap boxers, i was lucky to get some 1k store price boxers for 700g gonk

Yet another illogical observation:

I put a pair of Rough Black Jeans(550g in store) up for 480g. Someone bought them within minuets of my listing them and, low and behold, a few minuets later the jeans pop back up for sale...but priced 300g above the store price xp

Now I know there's some idiots out there who try to sell there items more than they're worth, but this is ridiculous.


And here is a whole nother catagory in this ridiculasness: those people who charge ridiculasly high prices that are so ridiculas that no one is stupid enough to pay(or so I hope rolleyes ) for no real reason

User A is selling a Purple/Blue Sun Visor User Image for 2,000,000,000g and a Royale Purple Pimpin' Hat User Image for 20,000,000g.

Another user has Gray Peasant's Pants for sale for 2,147,483,647g and the booties for 4,294,967,295g .

And the two bronze medals for 9,000,000 a piece? That's just showing off!

I wonder if one day there will be enough of these fake "spam" sales that moderators will have to be assigned to the Marketplace to delete them?

but I've never understood that. If your having a buy/bid then why bother? No ones going to pay such a stupid price. In fact, maybe three people actuially have that much damn gold.
and if it's just buy... why the hell bother? Who the hell's gonna pay? What does it prove? That your an effing moron?!

Yeah I guess neutral

You only have 4 vending slots and you're taking up 1 or more of them with pointless sales, which they probably think is funny neutral

don't remind me gonk

Further proof that playing fair works:
in the past 1.5 hours I have put 6 things up for sale. All were bought within 45 minutes. Why? Because I put the Buy now price within the range of the item. By largest experience was the flower crown. I've sold about 6 of them on the Marketplace since the place went up. Each time it's bought within 20 minutes of being put up, sometimes less, because while all the other crowns are similar pricings, their "buy now"s are generally around 800 gold or way more.

Being fair pays off. 3nodding I've made an extra 7.5k tonight to put towards my wishlist and fishing 3nodding
Although my bioggest peeve is Wristband. I can't get then, and I'm not willing to pay 800g for them either. stressed auctions are horrible when it comes to rares/uncommons/specials.

I'd prefer putting up a buy now price instead of optioning since bidding takes long and can lead to the price that you do not want xp
Many people tend to do biddings in the Marketplace where an item starts at 1 gold and the sellback is around 2k. And the buy now price is high (over the store price)

mmm buy now prices, just 50 gold under store prices, people love, because it's better than waiting 4 f-king days to be outbid or wait to buy it.
and it seem that the cheaper the item, the harder it is to get a good price on in the marketplace O_o
morons.
