Ahhhh, so the issue was greed then? Lol. :P
Nah, knowing Alpha-Zulu, he just likes to sell stuff face-to-face when he can. I do the same thing from time to time.

You cannot be that dense to not understand what he meant.
He posted this on Champion, not Market & Inventions.
He was looking for a Champion buyer; avoiding the large market fee of a billion plus sale.
'Grats on the sale, Oz. Let me know if you score another.

Except that the in-game market takes a cut of the transaction, meaning the buyer pays more and/or the seller recieves less. The percentage is small enough that for most things it doesn't really matter, but once you're up in the 1 billion range, the house's cut of the action is enough to IO out an entire build (for those of us with humble needs).
I expect Alpha's objection wasn't to the interpersonal quality of consignment operations, but rather to the idea of the game engine eating the inf when he could just ask around and pocket the commission price himself.
