Auction Rant Thread

[KumyaKuma]

This just grinds my gears.

I was in an auction for a plains zebra, the last zebra I need. I was neck and neck for a while with one other person, who then upped their offer to moonswirl. No biggie, I flounder around and offer more as well. I come back later and see if i was ahead or needed to add more and saw that they got a Plains zebra elsewhere and pulled out. Hurrah for me!

Some one else comes in bidding (I shall call them numer 2) a dogtag + some, however I was still in the lead. It was to end in three hours. I come back after another hour to check up.....
the person who offered the moonswirl came back in to get the zebra. Why? Because they offered their own dogtag for the first zebra they got and they want to get it back. So they went and arranged with number 2 that they would use the moonswirl to win and trade the zebra for the dogtag+...

-sigh- this just... irritates me to no end. D:

Sure seems like it, but I dont think it is... as much as I want it to be.

It's low and sneaky, which makes it unfair and cheating. >:C

So the person traded their Zebra for the Moonswirl but now they want it back?
Thats so unfair!
Oh I don't look bak at the post to much since this thread moves slowly.

If you are in need of that dog, I am your person! I don't have any autos, but if you offered dragons, zebras, and rare, wolves, It would defiantly increase your chances. Please post here before you bid.

The dog:



Um . . . what? |D

Yeah, I saw that. I'm not sure what made them think this dog had any value. :S

[wizzlekhalifa]

my bid
bid number 1 that is beating me
bid number 2 that is beating me
bid number 3 that is beating me
Is it just me, or is my bid the most valuable?

Ewww. Nope, you aren't winning. At all. O___d

I wish auctions didn't take so freaking looooooooooooooong.
Why can't it just be like,
"Here, look at these awesome pets I'm offering! I'm 100% overpaying, too, so it's a bonus! Now accept my bid because everyone else's sucks. c:"

When auctioneers have big giant capitals everywhere, especially if it's in red. It doesn't annoy as much as it scares me, makes me think they're some scary monster that'll eat me if I don't overpay. D:

Hm. I'm a little pissed off right now.

According to the auctioneer, we won the auction.
They sent us the trade, and then it was automatically canceled because
someone else now owns the pets.

I'm sorry, what?

I'm hoping this can be resolved, but if it can't..

I'll be even more irritated. >8I

I nobody seems to have any interest in my Blue Sorbet UFA. I pt it up two days ago, and the only bid I have so fair is one that is highly unfair to me. Does no one want a sorbet? :c
