total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
I buy and resell at least 20 things for each one I buy and slot.
So, yeah, I can BUY IT NAO for most things.

So you think you're a hero, huh.

I would also like to thank the people who spend their play time providing me with the items and convenience I desire.
Buy it NAO or go home

I will craft just about any damned recipe I can get my hands on (as long I don't actually lose money crafting it). Yeah, I don't make a ton, but when you need a lvl 30 Unspeakable Fear Acc/Hold, who you gonna call?

Hehe, yesterday I wanted an Achilles Heel Proc, and the level 20 ones that were for sale were going for more than 25 million (my highest bid, which did not buy it Nao).|

So I went and burned 4000 tickets on level 20-24 bronze and silver rolls. I didn't get the proc I wanted, but I got 15-20 recipes that were worth crafting and selling. (In fact, a few -- Reactive Armor, Impervium Armor -- that sell in the 30m to 40m range when crafted).
I eventually got a level 12 Achilles Heel for a 9 million Nao price. It's a proc, don't ask me why the lower level one was selling for less. It has the same value as the level 20 version.

Been busy respec'ing the Goat (finally!), but will return to drop more infernal market know-how soon.
an aside, the performance gap between a good IO build and a REALLY good IO build is surprisingly huge.

So, here's me putting the rule to the test:
Even with the screenshotui at 1, you don't see the text; this piece has been posted for 25,000,500. Not really a diabolical push on the funds, but there's 0 supply, it's a good IO, and it's now for sale where there were, once, none. So let's see what comes of it in a few days' time.
I had a teammate post a Gaussian rech/end at level 37 blueside last night, and another post a BotZ -KB at level 26. I encouraged both to test the goatrule by posting well above the last 5, since for both there were zero for sale, and multiple bidding.
We'll see how it goes for them. I'll be honest and say that the price point on the Gaussian is one that I'd pay, if nobody else scoops it in the next few days, to save the thing for future use.
Edit: I'm kicking myself on the Gaussian price. It took less than 12 hours to sell. He could have made substantially more.

it isn't (usually) a tactic that results in a quick sale, but impatient buyers have yet to let me down over the long haul.
I've got the screens for my next installment, just need to edit them together and post 'em.
It sprang from buying a Miracle +rech NAO only to discover I had one in base storage (kids, this is why you shouldn't work on two builds simultaneously...well, unless you're a lot more organized than I am.)

Well, chalk that one up as a second data point.
Unless Goat bought it himself to corroborate his own rules...
Then there's the possibilility it's simply the extra zero mistake.
Sure, I was raising the prices, but that's 6x the amount it was listed as.
Edit: I don't suppose there's any way someone can verify they're the one to purchase that short of a screenshot, eh?
Goatrule success again.
The level 26 BotZ -kb that was posted for 20m more than anything in the last 5 sold for 100m (about 15m more than posting price). Took about 3 days.

Amusingly, while we often hear from the uninformed how "flipping" drives up prices,
this actually *does* raise them, and there's not a peep from the masses...
Unpossible!
Kudos to you gents - another fine piece of Ebil perpetrated on the casual warshading masses

PS> Yes, I know that the pricing isn't being spuriously driven up, rather the
last 5 are too low given the high demand and 0 supply...
Still, the simple economical facts don't make the scenario any less ironic and funny to me
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.
Every time I see your sig, I remembenr a quote from Terry Wogan:

It also presents some compelling arguments for bothering to roll random pre-50. The demand is present, the supply is zero, and the seller literally has the ability to set the price in the market as it stands.|

I used a variation on this technique to fund a villain to 50, starting in her 30s and doing the occasional play session of AE, followed by random bronze rolls. There was nothing crafted, and very little raw, for good mid-level sets (Efficacy Adaptor, Doctored Wounds, most of the decent damage sets), which meant I had the ability to ask prices that came close to or exceeded the prices for level 50 versions of the same stuff. And get it.

Yep.
It takes some patience, since everyone is used to there being NO supply at the lower levels, but when they find it they're more than happy to throw a large premium your way.

True.
I think the other thing that leaps out at me, is the evident fact that most
folks haven't figured out the idea of bid-creeping...
I guess that's not too surprising, but given the millions I've saved using that
simple idea, I'm not sure why it isn't more prevalent. <shrug>
Oh well, it's their play money... actually, it's now *your* play money...

I must be "Old School"
I bid creep on pretty much everything...To be sure, the number of bids and the speed at which they increase depends
a lot on the particular item, but I still do it... Even on salvage...
First, I *love* the idea of getting something cheaper than the last 5 - that's
a "W" in my book. It's all about getting the bargain
Second, over time the amount I've saved has gotten me more shinies in
the long term.
Third, you know the old saw: "Rich people didn't get to be rich people by needlessly
giving their money away"
And, Finally, the one that might make dave_p yell at me
is that it's all leisuretime - if it takes 5 mins, or 25 mins, it's all good to me... Efficiency only matters
if Urgency requires minimizing the time costs. For me, nothing in the game is "Urgent".
