Auction Rant Thread

[aos si]

When people auctioning off pets do not know rarities at all. :c
Suddenly your bid that is supposed to be in first place is unfair. =/
also: when you add someone's dream pet(s) and they don't accept immediately even though it's under the "auto" list.

No bids for my Blue android...

Oh on top of that I was the highest bid for a 2012 August pps lion and the person canceled the auction because they decided to give it away. I traded away tons of pets just to get 900 plus rats for this auction. Now I have them and nothing to do with them all because people arent big fans of rats. This is just great [end rant]

Sent a trade a week ago for a dogtag bun. We talk about it for a bit, then the trade rots for six days. I sent a PM yesterday, just a friendly reminder. The person cancels it with "Clearing out trades, resend if important". Fine, whatever. I resend the trade (and I even add another 2009 rare), then the person PMs me that the bun is in an auction. Apparently, they counted my original trade as a bid. -_- And now it's back again, a bid in their auction that I never knew about. The bun doesn't have "auction" in its name, it's not in an UFA group, how the heck was I supposed to know? So, fine, I'm bidding in an auction.

But it gets worse.

The person PMs me back that I can look at the other bids. I had already seen the only other bid for the dogtag bun besides mine, and I was easily winning. I go back to the thread, just for the heck of it.

I was suddenly freaking outbid.

In the two seconds between the first time I saw the thread and the second, some horribly mean person had bid a tufted blood dog and two late '09 rares.

All I can think about is that things would have been so much better if that trade would have gone on rotting.

This is why I am so paranoid about sending trades for pets that are "both for auction and trade".

Sorry that this happened to you though :(

Gets extra Joker goes to auction it at least 5-10 joker auctions. Trades up to moonswirl goes to auction page and guess what? Moonswirl auctions everywhere! Rawr... All this supply takes away the demand

I really hate when auctions aren't up to date. I can't stand it and I know other people hate that too. But, now I'm stuck not being able to update. It really sucks and I feel so bad. I'm so anal about things like that and following my rules. It's driving me insane. I can't even keep the communication up. I've had two bids for days and haven't been able to post them or send the user a pm saying I have their bid. I have no control over it but still! An auction should stay up to date and people should know about Thier bids. But I can't update them yet, I just can't. Nothing agianst them, it's a problem on my end. Is it even enough that I put a thing on the very top of my first post. I just hate how it's being run!

And yes, I did just rant about my own auction and how I'm running it even though I have no control over the situation.

That terrible moment when nobody bids on your auction for a good pet, and you check out some other user's auction for the same pet, and they have like 30 bids.

?!WHAT?!

Someone please tell me how this bid is winning over my bid for a green liontail?! I'm so angry that I'm paying a ton more than the winning bid and I'm still not in first. This isn't fair ;-;

I dunno...

Totally makes no sense to me.

Anyway, I hate it when you send an auto for an auction and they send back a suggestion saying they'll think about it...


Oh, yeah, this is yet another reason I stay the hell away from the Auction Forum usually D:
