That's awesome! I'm tempted to buy one for 2b inf just to say that I did, but I know it'd go to some random guy posting his for 50k and that would make me a sad ebil panda.
Wish I could see the looks on everyone's faces as they bid creep.
Til the servers shut down, there will always be a luck charm.

That so totally rocks.
At some point in the future there's going to be only 10 luck charms for sale and someone desperately upping his bid to try and get some of them.

lmao for anyone stupid enuff to pay those prices. i get plenty of them farming bp and/or demons.
srsly?
You know... it'd take some serious timing and teamwork, not to mention insanity, but those could still be bought.
I'm wondering how the game would list the uncollected sales... "Sold 10 for 20000000000"? Can it display that many zeros, or would it have to use an exponent?
Fabulously stylish, Fulmens. That's a hell of a listing.

Of course if you do sell all 10 in one go, that's at least 18BN inf destroyed, a fitting end to the project.

The problem with these luck charms is you have to buy out the rest of the market to get to them.. the level 20 miracle has a much less tedious market to buy out 
For entertainment purposes, indeed.
Actually, if the game stays around long enough, and the inf cap is ultimatly raised as a result of inflationary pressures...then someday we all may look back and laugh at the fact that we thought 2 billion was alot.
My ww jaw will drop when you post the pic of them sold.
OK, I am up to the challenge! Anyone want to join me it buying his 10? I am being mostly serious I bought all the luck charms once, it'll take a few of us, and some time to get the funds, but dam the LOL factor alone of seeing his screen shot of 10 luck charms sold for 20 Billion. msg me if you want to coordinated efforts.

You know, if anyone else rose to the bait like this I might have been tempted to post snark, but... Seeing as how you pretty much started your forum celebrity by farming luck charms in Dark Astoria you are allowed.
Also, this post is practically a challenge to some maniac to buy those out! DO IT GOLD FARMERS!?

Does this phrase rub anybody else wrong like it does me? Nothing against the poster who wrote it, but I really just find it an odd phrase.

That's an old, well-worn jeu de mots (a deliberate play on words)... in the same category as "Take my wife... please."

How fast do you produce 1 billion influence outside of the market? Because, that's what he spent just to put those up for bid. Inflation, lol.

I thought it was a Groucho quote, just went to check, apparently its from the Three Stooges originally.

Nobody will ever buy up all the luck charms again.
