posted a recipe for 22mil and 5 minutes later 1 sold for 50 mil. i'll never understand it. lol. maybe mine will be next in line.

pvp recipes drop faster than purps. so far i got 2 since last night.

ok

Someone had the recipe listed at below 22 mil, and then someone bid 50 mil on it. They got the lowest listed recipe. Sounds normal to me.

Eryq you may not be a marketeer but someday soon if you keep racking up those PVP recipes you're going to post your screenshot here and join the billionaire's club!

Most probably complaining all the while how he hates the market and marketeering.

Amusingly ironic, if not completely disingenuous, somehow.

lol. i doubt it. im not interested in being a billionaire. i just sell what drops. no flipping, no running and crafting to sell or whatever some people do. just playing for drops i can use or sell if i can't. i think its silly to try to hit a billion inf then turn around and buy like a set of purps. i could have a billion if i sold everything i have on my toons and counted the inf i have on hand. big deal.

but youre saying the lowest item sells first?

Yes, the lowest item goes to the highest bidder (at the bid of the highest bidder of course). Thats how I can list an uncommon piece of salvage for say 1,111 and get 20,000 inf for it.

lol. i list mine for 1111 also.

Maybe he doesn't understand why someone wouldn't bid creep on a 50 million recipe? I don't get it either, but it happens all the time.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't get it either. I have an enhancement sitting on the market for 30 million and in the past few days one sold for 60 million and another sold for 70 million.

Somebody had at least 2 listed for less than 30 million...

The one way to find out what other people are listing them for is to place bids on what your about to sell - sometimes its preferable to do so with another character and place several bids that are just a bit (or a good bit?) Less than what you're selling/listing the IO you want to sell!

That way you buy those IO's that someone else at "too low a price" (or aka those that are underselling you) - just be prepared to actually buy & resell them at the new price floor you're setting up, and be very careful you don't have someone actively competing with you - that knows what that IO sells at when listed without any "reserve"/protective bids from another toon in place!
Or you'll end up buying more of them than you can relist &/or sell in a reasonable time-frame.
And don't place the "buy" bids with the same toon you're selling with...

[/ QUOTE ] I understand that part. I just don't get why somebody would throw up 60 or 70 million as their first bid.

they don't want to mess around re-entering bid and don't really care about inf.

I heard a claim that some people have figured out how to dup Inf. Given the number of bugs in the game, I wouldn't be surprised. Do that a few times and you don't really care how much something costs. Say it takes 5 minutes to dup 2 billion Inf. Someone who can do that is not about to bid creep to save 10 million here or there.

Sound to me that talking about duping for Inf on test. Which is well known: Transfer a character that passes all inf to 3rd party/2nd account or IOs into base, delete character and transfer it across again. Pass inf/ios etc on again. Repeat.


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

Nope, the duping I heard about was on live. There's no real point to duping Inf on test, because there's nothing worthwhile to buy there.
