Um, you're supposed to PM your bid rather than post it in the forum (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Now everyone knows what you've bid and could outbid you by 1c.

Oh well never mind. I'll announce the winners tomorrow (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Fine Ebony Staff of Surtr 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 - Winner: ROHAN55555
30,000c


My blind auctions seem to have run into a problem. Initially things went well and I received a considerable number of bids, with the winning bids being quite high. The problem with these high winning bids is that they caused people to believe they couldn't win the auctions and many people stopped trying. As a result the number of bids I've received has been in decline.

The items that receive the most bids are the "Stuff nobody wants" because people believe they could win. After receiving no bids last week the Fine Phase Gloves of Surtr got 11 bids this week. The problem is therefore not that people don't want the items, but that they're not bidding because they don't think they can win.

With people not bidding some items began to receive no bids at all and this created the potential for somebody to place a low bid on every item and win at least a few of them, which is what dcherry did this week. I'm surprised nobody else has done this since there was a clear opportunity to win items at below their actual value.

I'll therefore be changing to an alternative sale format start this week.

This new system seems plausible. If somebody wants an item but chooses to wait for the price the decline chances are he would lose it cos someone else might get that item. So given that the item is desirable and lots of people want it, no one can afford to linger too long and the actual value of the item is retained. Let's see how it goes in practice (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Superior Power Helmet of Slaughter - Price 200,000c (Decrement 10,000c)

If people see someone paying ridiculous prices for equipment it might encourage them to do the same (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I admit, I didn't pay for that Fenrir set. I got it in exchange for letting Eila kill me 500 times over.

That message has been maliciously edited. I used a smiley and not a thumbs up!

Also, you'll regret that next time you desperately need credits because I won't buy your crystals and I won't sell you anything ever again either so there!

That is the dumbest, most pointless thing I have ever read on this site. Monster kills don't even do anything, and if/when they do, you can bet your ass there will be something in place to prevent farming like this.

He made that up! sushi0, I demand you explain yourself this instance!

If I wasn't so amused I'd be furious.

What thumbs up? I don't know what you're talking about. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Oh I don't know about that. Your withdrawal symptoms from not having your daily crystal fix might make you come crawling back and beg me to sell you crystals. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

When you read something that is so dumb and pointless, what would be your first reaction? It seems like in your case you actually took it to be real. I am disappoint hitokiri84.

you actually took it to be real.

There is no reason to assume it's not real since frith stated he has already been farming it up himself. There still isn't.

Maybe because they read the guidelines?

I'm joking, of course. Nobody ever reads the guidelines.

I did, I just ignored them (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The problem is if nobody posts in a thread then it will eventually end up on the second page. In the mean time people might create threads to sell a single item and once it's sold will close their threads. That would mean active threads would fall below inactive ones, which would probably lead to them being ignored.

Allowing posting in threads keeps the active threads near the top and allows the inactive threads to fall off the bottom, so I'm not really sure of the reasoning behind that particular rule.

Because in the past people didn't make an auction for every single thing. I think a sub-forum just for auctions should been made by now.

I suggest those finished auctions/purchases in WTS/WTB should be deleted first.
Nowadays people simply won't report those threads.

And I also suggest some standard formats for auctions.
