Auction Rant Thread [v2] New Rule!

[~Dea~]

Okay..I seriously don't understand this.

why is it that when EVERYONE else auctions off their event items/Sand pile horse, that they get tons of offers!

When I do it....

Nothing. Not one.bid.

I.dont.Understand!

['Possum]

I hate auctions with a passion to begin with.

Then I decide to enter one anyway because I really want the things in the auction. For some reason the auctioneer, despite being on and corresponding with me all morning, has yet to post up the bids they've gotten so I have an idea what I'm up against.

I am beginning to feel strung along once again.

[.muse.]

Ugh, some people disgust me.
This person was winning my auction, and they dropped out. I was like, ok whatever, you were winning but you know good luck with whatever you were going to do with the things in your bid instead.

They told me they needed the things for a joker. Sure enough later I was poking around in the auction forums, the person had simply most of what was in their bid in my auction, put an auction up, and set the auto as what they were bidding on in my auction.

You know, I was totally cool that you dropped out of my auction, but to lie about why you did. That's disgusting. I can't stand liars and I'm glad to have another one blocked on here. Weeding them out with my blocked users lists slowly makes the game more enjoyable.

"Autos:
-Mainlist! (Maybe)
-2 september list (Depends on tier, demand and species)
-Jeweled Liontail + Hyena + any advent"

... You're auctioning tokens, and you're considering a main list as an auto? The sad part is they know the rare list...



(Don't get me wrong, I'm not coughing up a single list pet for tokens.. this just irked me so much)

The same happened for me. I got one swap with a common event pet and another with one hoard pet. I just decided to give up on the auction, apologize to both people, and decided to keep the horse. The only think I was looking for was a couple of wishlist uncommons, namely horses.

Autos for 2012 Beach event set wrote:
♥ UR Tiger Dog
♥ Any True Date Sept. List Pet
♥ Any True Date WL Advent level Dog

... It's so tempting I'll just go ahead and pass. If they genuinely expect to get any of these then I'm sitting on a gold mine with 2 beach sets. >.>

Was poking around the forums because of boredom...
When I saw a nice new auction.

For the Beach pets from last year's event.
A complete set according to them, I haven't checked the Archive yet.

What surprised (or shocked) me most was this part:

» Wishlist pets are ranked much more worthy than others.
» True dates are valued slightly higher in my eyes.
» Odities (ie. Cerberus, Sleipnier, etc) are valued higher in my eyes.
» I don't want items if they arent on my WL.
» Commons/Uncommons that are not WL, will not increase your bid at all unless they are 2010 or older.
» I don't like rats all that much, a bit, but not much.

|*|Autos|*|
♥ UR Tiger Dog
♥ Any True Date Sept. List Pet
♥ Any True Date WL Advent level Dog

Firstly, we all know true dates are worth the same.
But okay, I understand people have their preferences. Though that's a bit discouraging for bidders I guess...
Next is... "oddities" is a word people don't use on CS is it?
If you say "oddities" to someone.. would they immediately know it means a Cerberus or Sleipnier (according to this person)?
The part about the rats is just... "I kinda like rats.. but I kinda don't." sounding.. don't you think? o - o

And honestly.
Autos are suppose to be slightly higher.. it's like a hope or dream that someone will bid it.

But..... a UR Tiger for last year's Beach Pets? o - o
Where most are uncommons.. and maybe only 1 or 2 rares? O n 0

I don't...
It's like me saying I want to auction my current event pets for a UR Tiger. > _ <

(( The post looked odd. ))

People don't know how to run actions anymore. Autos are supposed to be something slightly higher than the pet(s) value- not something insane that nobody will ever offer (like a Tiger). And no, I've never heard anyone use the term 'oddies'. They made that up themselves. And true dates vs. re-releases is getting on my last nerve. They're the exact same pet with the exact same rarity. The only difference is the adoption date, which should only matter if the date is special to you, or you want your pets placed somewhere specific in a group.
