which brings up an interesting point.
I do love the chopping block, like J i've made many a small fortune clearing out my useless eq, and on the other hand i've gotten some really nice stuff i'd never have the patience to cycle for myself.
the annoying thing is bidders you know have no intention of buying an item, then having to figure out second-lowest, etc.
I know the admins are extremely busy and this may never happen, but - perhaps a sellers blacklist? allow you to add people in your profile that simply cannot bid on auctions you post. with that, you may get burned once, but probably not twice.

and if i see something i really want, i sit down for a minute, figure out the absolute most i'd be willing to pay for an item, then bid that - none of this "i'll increase my tiny bid by 100k and then watch the auction for 9 hours" crap.
Don't be stupid - we have politicians for that

Hades blacklisted

Postby Hades » Sat Jan 20, 2007 9:49 am

Nope... for one...

I did have an intention of buying said item.. just to me it wasn't worth paying more than 15 mil coins for it and ... for two...

nothing to stop one from making a spare crier persona to do what you suggested making blacklisted nil

and now a point I'd like to make

Godrain sucks... it makes one having to rent to save affects which in turn costs coins. Can we do something about this? :roll:

We are slowly working toward a feature of the game/website that will stop this from happening if it is. It wasn't the intention of what we are planning, but it will go a long way to prevent it. In any case, you can see who made every bid on an item. If someone is abusing accounts for this purpose, let me know. I can find out who the originator is and will take action.

hello? hello? this is an auction. if you dont bid higher before the gavel drops you dont get it. here and in real life. Ive been outbid by 1 dollar at and auction and then offered the winning bidder and extra 5 for the spare item they had and been turned down. My advice is to use auction channel and ask what you looking for. its usually cheaper too.
