I've been rich, and I've been poor. Rich is definitely better.
Light is faster than sound - that's why some people look smart until they speak.
For every seller who leaves the market dirty stinkin' rich,
there's a buyer who leaves the market dirty stinkin' IOed. - Obitus.
Your 2B luck charms must remain on the market for all eternity, to defy anyone who dares to buy up every last one available. Or, ya know, until some other crazy fool with an equally psychotic determination and cash flow comes along to buy even those up.
Rule number six of an empathy defender is NEVER underestimate a blaster's ability to die. I don't care if he has CM, Fort, both RAs, bubbles (both FF and Sonic), and is fighting next to a Storm defender with hurricane on. If there is a way to die in that situation, the blaster will find it.

Of course, you realize if they bought all ten, I'd have to destroy 90% of the money to collect it... another eighteen BILLION down.

So you think you're a hero, huh.

Yes!!
But let us know that you've made a profit doing so, or else... (you know the consequences)...

I hope to one day buy these Luck Charms, and do exactly that. I've yet to get my first billion yet, but one day, it will happen.

@Roderick
I was bored and wanted to buy the 2B Miracle +Recovery on villains but it appears to be gone. If i had the kind of money on heroes that i do on villains i'd be tempted take a shot at trying to buy up 2 or 3 of those luck charms.
*cough* I could move a billion or two over for ya. It's a start.

But wait, wont those 2B luck charms not ever sell?
I mean, the highest bid goes to the lowest-cost item. So if I bid 2B on a luck charm, i'll get the one that someone just posted for 1k. If somebody wanted to buy the 2B ones, they'd have to get rid of all the other ones first to insure that you get the 2 billion!
*shrug*

Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)

Which means they can only be bought if every other luck charm has already been bought... which has happened at least twice, as I recall. I have some listed for a few million, but that's nothing compared to his stack. |

I, too, vote that you leave them up, Fulmens. In fact, I vote that we petition the devs to erect a giant statue of your stack of billion inf luck charms somewhere in game. What would be a good location? Maybe near the WW in Atlas Park? Sized in proportion to their value, they should be at least as big as the Atlas statue.

It occurs to me (and maybe this is why Peterpeter has some listed for a few million) that listing luck charms in the tens or possibly hundreds of millions would be a long, long, long-term strategy for making money off whatever person really decided to buy them ALL.

No! It warms my heart to know that they are there. That someday, some way, some one might actually buy one. That you'll post a screenie of that, and that I may then laugh from the depths of my soul.
The needy can self help. Inf isn't hard to come by in this game. Just by selling salvage drops at moderate prices, anyone can at the very least afford up to date SO's which is all one really needs. And IO's are easily gotten as well.
But 2 Billion a piece Luck Charms? YOU HAVE THE ONLY ONES OF THOSE LISTED. Have the courage to remain unique! Don't give into the urge to let this part of the game experience slide into the territory of the mundane.
Fulmens, don't do it!
I'm Tealeaf, and I approve of this message.
