He also sniped this 150k post bid but it made him pay 30k more. It's exactly as the rules are written, however it makes no sense to me. I think superlatanium should revise this part of the rule.
The idea was to keep people from initially bidding `50k` then `52k` then `54k` and so on, which I'm afraid would be common enough and would waste a lot of time when there are two players competing where neither proxy bids. But many are proxy bidding these days, and those who aren't are still free to do so if they find manual bidding too tedious. We can try making mats' increment 3% no matter the current bid, see what happens, any objections?
QUOTE(BlueWaterSplash @ Oct 6 2018, 00:32) *
My proxy bid for this week's fiery rapier didn't work, I guess this means if someone bids the same amount as a previously placed proxy bid, the regular bidder wins?

Assuming that's true, I'm surprised it took me this long to realize it. I think it shouldn't work that way though. This creates a slight disadvantage to proxy bidding because they need to bid +1k to beat people who bid after them.
That's right, though it wasn't initially like that. Proxy bidders used to outbid manual bidders by 1k when at the limit, which I thought was fair because if someone bids more or the same earlier, that should qualify them for the item - but there were a bunch of complaints, so now the proxy bidder needs to type in a bid 1k higher for the same effect.

Like I've always said, whether someone's proxy bidding or manual bidding, bidding nice round numbers (like the next minimum bid increment) is setting yourself up to be outplayed. Best to bid 1k or 3k 10k or 11k or something more than the predictable increment.

Wait, what happens if two people make the exact same proxy bid? The second guy wins too? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Earlier proxy bid at the same amount trumps later proxy bid at the same amount.

If an exact same proxy bid trumps a later one, I feel the same should hold for proxy versus regular bids. That is how ebay and other auctions are set up.

I usually save doing that for my second proxy bid which is more serious. No sense in making a mess until the end. Looks like it didn't matter anyway, everyone came to fight over the fiery rapier at the end. Time for penalty taxes.

Ahaha, I spied on ravenfrost123 and now I know why he sounded familiar. He is the person who self-dropped the legendary hallowed rapier of slaughter which created a debate in price check. Considering that the Big Hand of e-Stark is already at 6m in this auction, ravenfrost's rapier probably does deserve 10m for its level.

Whee I won a power leggings I consider good enough to be endgame for only 50k. Since it's low level though I'll wear it without soulfuse and hopefully replace it with a slaughter when the right one for me comes along.

Not sure if it was script problem about "warning spam"

I got duplicated Automatically generated message Bid warning for just one wrong bid, both in PM & MM with a total of 4 msgs in slightly different sent time.

Besides I don't think it is necessary to warn user by PM & MM both, I guess MM is enough for notifying those don't come to forum occasionally.

CODE
[Mat04] 100 High-Grade Wood (seller: Mantra64) Lastwizard05 452k Proxy bid after #7, 4.5k per mat

I put in a proxy bid of 422k and it forced Lastwizard's proxy to go up automatically by 30k when perhaps he should only have been required to bid +3% to beat me? Nevermind, three people had put in bids at about the same time and the proxy web system was not realtime enough to stop me from putting in a bid that had already been defeated. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

By the way is Lastwizard05 = Lostwizard, or some other wizard?

I guess this name issue is related to proxy bid key, maybe I need an updated one

there is literally a price evaluation thread if you wants rough estimates :/

if you wants them auctioned, just MM them to super, you don't have to post here.

No auction this upcoming week, I'll be on vacation and away from my computer. It'll resume as normal the next week, on the 14th.

the tax %tage is fixed based on time, but the money for the discount come from taxing people who snipe the auction, if there's only small number of people who snipe or they snipe low price goods then of course the discount will get lower.

Bid wars on a relatively low tier item, grah.

[Hea06] Legendary Savage Power Helmet of Warding

#110 DL用户名 cannot cancel bids because there are fewer than 24 hours left
#71 Matrim_Cauthon edited, bids and commands inside the post are ignored

Two people broke the rules by bidding over my proxy bid and then trying to cancel. The system canceled the bids of the first person, although I am not certain he truly intended to cancel. I think he tried to re-bid but at that point was automatically banned from the item. The second person tried to cancel but it was after 24 hours so he could not.

I would probably lose either way, but I didn't feel like getting into bid wars with multiple people who don't know what they are doing.

Yes, items are eligible. Just send it to Superlatanium and items will be included next week.
You can specify you starting price (as you did some price checking), otherwise it will be 50k.
