Mine is full of bids that I expect to fill. I hope the unusualness of it doesn't keep it from filling.

Am I supposed to be able to bid more than 2bil inf in one slot?
F'rinstance, if I am bidding 300mil per item should I be able to bid for 7 of them in one slot?
I was under the impression that this was not possible. Am I mistaken? -
I can't help but notice that the OP seems to tell us that he engages in the very behavior that creates the situation he finds objectionable—he tries to buy and sell w/o patience. This leads to the buy-it-nao and to the sell it nao prices that he objects too.
Since almost everything is available somewhere else via some other method, prices reflect buyer's whims. If buyer's don't mind paying exorbitant prices, someone will come along and take their inf for them. -
Quote:You're prob'ly right. In my mind, she's a tough, lead an army into battle sort of person. I guess in the minds of the show's makers, she's something else.If you're looking for the "gritty ancient battlefield amazon warrior" version of WW this isn't going to be your show.
In that picture she looks like a little girl.
It doesn't help that the golden items on her outfit look like they're made of cheap plastic. -
I'll bid 875mil
875,000,000
fyi I will be out of pocket on the 23rd, the date the offer is set to expire
But I will be back in game a day (or two) after that. -
Not that Amazonian warriors can't wear make up and be "feminine" when it suits them...
It just seems that going crime fighting isn't the time or place for make up.
It sends a message that I find to be very incongruous with my image of Wonder Woman. I see her as more of a no-nonsense sort of person when it comes to her mission in life.
Also, that actress doesn't look one whit a warrior in that picture. I'd like to see a more gritty, ancient battlefield looking vibe happening with her. -
Pleather?
really?
yuck

Quote:You wouldn't be making it take longer for them to sell their stuff at all. It's just not how the market actually works.I'm ruining active players' play experience by preventing them from being able to sell on WW without waiting a long time (and probably holding up their missions team with repeated visits to the market).
If you were offering a fair price you would be enabling someone to sell their item more quickly.
If you were not offering a fair price, your low bids would have no effect on the frequency of other players offering a fair price and thus buying the item. -
Quote:So the thing is less about the Market being broken and more about the Market not working fast enough to please you. A "whole day"....lolExcept the prices aren't high in general. They're only high if you're willing to post it for a whole day.
If only there were some way to make sure that an item didn't sell for less than a certain amount. The Devs should give us a way to make sure that we don't have to sell our stuff for less than what we would like. I'll post over in the suggestions forum that the Devs let us decide for ourselves how much to list our items for so that we don't have to sell our stuff for too little. -
Quote:I am more or less straight vanilla IOs plus w/e drops until I get to 50. Crafted vanilla IOs are relatively inexpensive when they are available.... so did nobody want to discuss the part where level 20 IO's are "optimal"? I almost never use 'em- I can wait till level 22 for SO's, then 27 or 32 to Frankenslot.
Well, that excludes things like the Numi and steadfast uniques etc. -

Quote:If you want to DO something about "market blockers" the things to do is to 1inf above the the "market blocker's" bid and then sell at at least inf less than the "market blocker." Then you can squeeze his profit margin and provide cheaper goods to the many.Certainly a "human blood sample" listed at 5 inf *would* be the one that gets bought when a player bids 200,000, but that is only *if* it doesn't get snatched up by a standing offer of 50 inf first. Odds are the two players (the one putting a human blood sample up for 5 inf, and the one bidding 200,000 inf) aren't going to post their offers at exactly the same moment in time, so the 5 inf offer will almost always be bought by the standing bids rather than the short-lived high bids. The 200,000 inf bidder will also probably end up buying from one of the standing offers.
This is true. The higher prices get, the less likely I am to sell my supply. I would much rather sell my supply for very low prices. If salvage sold at market for less than the vendor, I would sell all of my salvage at the Market. The higher and higher that "market blockers" jack up the prices, the more I will sell my salvage to a vendor. Free market theory totally backs me up on this one. The increasing inf being offered for a good decreases the likelihood that people will want to sell it. Totally makes sense to me. -
I cringe when I team with an unknown MM.
Good MMs are great.
But lots of other MMs... -
The kill-all mission in Silver Mantis is like that. I try to pull a mob of Crey into the mob of Skyraiders.

Quote:Sorta. Some of that is happening, but that's not why a price can go from 200inf to 200k inf.My theory is that some people have gotten the idea to buy every bit a certain piece of salvage that goes on the market, until there's none left, and then turn around and immediately sell it at a higher price.
Most items have more than one range of list prices. Lower prices are from people who're trying to move product. Higher prices are from people who have nothing better to do with their market slots that hold the high priced items.
At the end of every salvage stack is a lump of salvage that is extremely overpriced. Don't buy those ones. For common salvage especially, you need only wait a short while for some to list theirs for only a few inf.
Quote:So, if 10 people each put a clockwork winder on the market over the last 20 minutes, and 10 individual people show up and want to buy those winders, ordinarily they'd pay about 5k. But if a "market blocker" is on at the same time, the blocker will just put a few bulk offers in place, buy all 10 new CW winders, and force the 10 individuals who show up to pay them instead.
another pro tip: You can always buy an item for whatever that niche's flipper is paying +1inf.
It IS accomplishing something--they're clearing out their salvage storage and their market slots while making a bit of inf off of unwanted goods. -

How are these superior to combining multiple lvl 50 hamis?
