Ohh, I'll be stalking the forums then. Yep reselling for higher prices sucks and it certainly doesn't help.

@jacobgrey That's game sites for ya, or just any game really.

@Julie At least we can agree that the market price is too insane. XD 20k-ish is fine to me. I guess it's a good thing it does balance then.

@Momò Sadly that too is basically how anything with a market works. People buy it and sell it for more; that is how market prices always shifts in games and what could cause imbalance at some point (depending on other people's behaviours etc, I have seen MMO economy go down because of this). Good luck selling though!

Those last second outbids are terrible. They're the worst when someone who has not shown interest in the auction only jumps in last second and just snipes it lol. It's so unexpected.

What where you bidding for?

Last second bidding is the way to go though. Basically why I don't do auctions anyway, I suck at stuff like that. You basically don't even want to bid until that last second, which is why those people come in unexpected. People put up alarm clocks for stuff like that.

Eh, I only buy Knuffels anyway, I'm good.

Yup, I guess it's the best and cheapest way to win an auction, so I get why people do it. They're not breaking any rules either, though it still sucks to lose like that.

I need to save up FP for my items on hold in Popo's selling thread, so I don't think I'll be doing much bidding either, lol.

Honestly, it'd be the only way for me to auction if I were into it. I prefer the buyout button though. Solid chance you get your item. I can imagine it sucks losing to it though. I just know that it's the one way to auction in games and game sites. Sniping. Heck, even real life auction stuff. My parents would often bid on cheap vacations. I just wish that there was a system that would bid automatically for you up to a certain amount; I know one site that does that, but it is one for real stuff.

Heh, I assume you namedrop Popo cause I know her. Probably a wise choice to save your FP, or just make sure you don't go below a certain amount of it.

I meant that I promised to pay Popo 630k. So no spending for me anytime soon. I think I'm going to sell some items too.

That bidding system sounds really useful.

I just remember the frustration D: I win a lot of auctions just by putting in a good price, but it sucks when I would have paid more but someone beat me to it. I would prefer a fair fight. I mean, I know it's fair for them to snipe if they have the patience and timing for it. But it doesn't feel fair.

100% agreed here.
