Auction Rant Thread

[charmens]

Getting told through a pm what bid you should not accept.

Um, excuse me. My auction still has time on it. This isn't my first auction. Do Not tell me what I should and shouldn't do. Maybe I have a preference for the bid. Maybe I don't. Just because you wouldn't accept it doesn't mean I won't.

Along with that, gettin unfair bids. Or bids you have to cancel because people can't seem to follow rules.

or better yet
getting a pm "accept my bid NOW!!"
my reply "um, its an auction, and your bid is unfair, to accept wouldn't be fair to anyone else"
literally the next day i got the same message

That's just bad. Why can't people have some patience. If you didn't send an Auto then you just have to wait til the end of the auction. Demanding that your bid be accept whether it's fair or not is just annoying.

Ever since I started doing 1 week long or less auctions I've been more aware of how long people put auctions for. Longest one I've seen lately. About 6 weeks long. I don't really want to think about entering an auction that drags on for so long. Who even thought an auction that long was a grand idea?

Was gonna auto a auction with art, i'm half way finished with the art and now they want to cancel the auction...that was a waste of about 5 hours..oh well.. v w v;;

rant; People who auction pets that obviously have no demand. You are wasting everybody's time, since hardly anybody will want to pay fair for it. Would you pay fair for a sorbet while you can get one with a BA? i think not (just an example btw). No demand means don't auction it e.e

I have a Malk Mutant that I am a bit willing to put up for auction. I would first like to see what people have to offer, and if I see something I like, he will be up officially!

Pets that give you a really good chance:
Any store pets
Sunback (yeah, right, like someone's gonna offer one...)
The rare brown Malk wolf
Rares List pets

HAHAHA. Is this a joke? I hope so.

I see too much of this. I've recently seen about 5+ auctions with Omgsc-Uncommon pets with horrid demand.
I really think CS should somehow re-teach people(Mostly new members) about demand/rarity/fairness of pets.
The way the CS economy is now a days...It's driving me nuts. >.<

........'A bit willing to put up for auction.'.......

Um, a bit? Why are you auctioning it then?! Don't put a pet up for auction that you are not 100% willing to put it up and trade it away. That's the number one thing that drive me nuts with auctions. If you aren't willing to trade it why put it up for auction. To just see what people offer and to waste thier time?

Sadly, if they don't listen the first time, I doubt they'd listen a second time. But, it'd be so nice if they did...

First bid I got for an auction I just started.

I'm not horribly upset about how unfair it is; I understand if they don't know how much the pet is worth. But they broke at least two of my rules. I set up those rules for a reason, and there are only five of them; how hard is it to read them? Dx
