Finally went and did it...

Panacea Heal/End proc IO. Level 50. Blueside. I listed for 1,000,000,000.

I fully expect the other 3 or 4 to sell before mine... and that I just took a 50 million influence lesson on don't be greedy...

But I had to... do... it.

Ebil marketeering has me. My base was choked with IOs I never used "in case of" with so many alts... I started selling and my jaw dropped on what I could earn with them. Stuff that as recipes wouldn't get 100k are selling for 5 million.

Do we really have this many insta50 AE babies with cash and no idea how to craft?

So I did it.. a 10-figure transaction listed.

I need help.

You've now broken the Cardinal Rule!

By Listing it for 1,000,000,000, you've created a paradox in the space time continuum and ripped a hole in the very ..er

You never list things on the 0. Even 999,999,999 woulda been better than 1,000,000,000

(d00m)


Good Luck on your sale. Just don't take your winnings for a swim in Lake Alice.

There are only two things that can stop it from selling... (well, maybe 3)

1. You get impatient and pull it off the market to free up the slot. (the most plausible scenario)

2. Inf Inflation stops. (not bloody likely)

3. The CoH subscriber base falls off to the point that they shut down the servers. In short: Game over. (the DOOM scenario)

Otherwise it will sell.

Actually, those same conditions would apply to anything listed at any price. :P

I think it's 60 days from a deactivated account now. If your account is active, you no longer have to log a toon in to save yourself from a WW purge.

Beef Cake recently sold a +3 Def Gladiator Armor for 1 billion crafted. This is straight up insanity lol.

When I heard of the market crash, IRT PvP IO's,I went out, pooled my money and bought the Panacea Proc and the Glad Armor +3% def for 1.3 bill total, crafted.

Glad I did.

And not only that, but if your account is not active for sixty days, all of your Wentworth/Black Market slots can be purged!

Any screenshots of this rumoured 1 billion sale? That would be a forum record IMO.

I fully intend to undercut your listing price by a small % as to reap a ridiculous amount of infamy from some fool-hearty soul.

My ebil > your ebil.

True, but in one specific sale he will be more ebil, can your ebil envy handle it?

Until the last one goes for more.... (there is only one level 50 proc left, and it's crafted. NO recipes are left or have even been listed since July 8th).

I'm starting to think people will pay anything for anything given enough time, frustration, and spare change. I fail at market and even I've been doing well lately.

I fail at market, Jadkni, but PvP IOs are just an entirely new kinda beast.
