Auction Rant Thread

So, you wish to bid in my auction? Oh, look, youve been here since 2008! So maybe i'll get a great bi....-.- Oh look....30 pets....only a few of which are on my wishlist...none of which equal the pet...So...you didnt read my rules. Well, lets look at your pets, maybe you just dont have mu...Oh look..you have more than enough to make a proper bid. So why ignore my rules and send a fail bid?

Because
1. They are not too active on the forum so son't know what is fair.
2. They are active but still don't know what is fair.
3. They think that since you joined in 2010 you don't know what is fair.
edit:
4. They think that since they joined in 2008 they know better what is a good bid.

#4, I disagree. That would only be valid if they had actually sent a good bid.

First bids are usually under offers. Especially with auctions that last weeks, you want to be able to add something in case someone shows up and outbids you . Why pay more for something you can get for less?

Would be nice to show some effort.
My rules for ny grinned,state wishlist only, yet only two pets out of 30 are on said wishlist, those two being missed outcomes.

Ps. On phone excuse my typos xD

And then they said the grinners are their dream pets. Again, another type. Plus, why do people assume you'll accept something terrible for a pet or pets just cause they are "dreamies"?

Not to mention this person pulled the same stunt at my sunback auction

Edit: am I the only one who gets really annoyed when someone pms them asking them to join their auction?

Report those as spam, because that is what they are. It's the same if someone asks you to join their contest or similar things. (To report PMs click the ! on the top right corner of the PM window. )

I admit, I've sent a couple of emails out 'advertising' my auction, but only, and only because the user has stated in their signature that their dream pet is the pet I am auctioning.
Meh

ugh I swear I want to beat people with a brick stick (note, Want, not will)

It's clearly laid out in my auction what/why some pets will boost, asking people not to fight, nor to whine.

So many people pitch a bloddy FIT when I rated a bid with my dream pet (CE galaxy) higher then theirs
When CE's are clearly listed as huge boosters, AND despite that if you LOOK at the rares list (rought guide of supply and demand), the dogs they all offered are worth about half what a CE is.

One went as far to say "I hate auctions that work on favorites rather then rarity"
then why did they underbid so severely I debated not listing the bid? If they truly valued rarity they'd not have offered so freaking low then backed out with a nasty message when they got listed so low compared to people that FOLLOWED my rules.

UGH! I have a grinner Auction, had 4 bids, went down to 1 in a matter of a couple of days and noone even tells me they dropped out cept one that I messaged asking them..but still UGH!!!!

[| Aloy |]

I was looking at an auction and all they had was a link to the pet (not even the picture of said pet) and the word "BID" in all caps. Really? Just.... really?

[WilliamStripes]

UGH! -headdesk till i die- Why do people bid on your pet, THEN trade the bid away OR use the same pets for a different bid!?

Grr, unfair autos. Again.

UR Purple Horse:
Autos
UR B-Wolf(You Will get ALL the pets and more! Alot more.)
UR Cat
July PPS
Coontail Dog
ANY sundog
UR Mint Horse
ANY Moon Dog
Nick Unicorn
BE Galaxy(You get ALL the pets, and maybe more)
ANY Sorbet
Any Tribal
Any Toxic(Not yellow)
CE Galaxy
09 UR Dog
Rainbow Mane
Any Balloon

Hmm, the only reasonable one is "any balloon", or maybe the rainbow maned. And how come you can get all the pets with UR B-wolf or BE Galaxy, but not with a Moonswirl or sunjewel or Coontail?

Some very holey logic.
