    ✮ Wait, what? Why are you advertising that you have list pet/s that you're auctioning when none of them are? I. What?

    edit;
    What was this person thinking?
    Oh I forgot, of course an uncommon from the event is going to be a worth a main list. What?

I just saw an auction for last month's PPS cocoon for stuff too high. People still expect so much for this uncommon? I think it was an old one, though... I'm too hungry to think straight, I think.

I'm wondering if checking the auction forum is a fruitless endeavor. There's nothing I want/can afford, there is one with what I want but they want stupidly high overpay as boosters, or I'm not willing/able to afford to outbid the top bid. I think I'll stay out of there for a while.
If you see me on here too much, feel free to PM me and demand I get back to work! Thank you!

Bidding (sorry I know it's not much but it's an entry)


....

For all 23 2012 Store pets
Each of witch, due to age, is worth a 2009 rare.
And you offer that? I even tell bidders that these pets are worth that much, and that they are infact able to get me onto the list. So what is this nonsense?

Hello!
I will do my best to aid you with your
trade on the FTT, but I do not handle high
demand trades. Best of luck!

PLEASE STOP GIVING ADVICE BASED ON EXCESSIVE/OUTLANDISH DEMAND

This is becoming a HUGE issue in causing inflated and outrageous demand, and holds very little merit. If you are getting offers that are well beyond the worth of your pet, congrats. Please stop pretending that is the normal going rate of the pet, as it really usually is not.

I kinda looks like the people have fear bidding in my auction since I tied my winning bid. I mean, there's no need to be in fear. That the bid wins is not automatically the fact that you cannot bid anymore. It's a quantity with quality auction, which means when somebody beats the quantity and the quality they can win.

I think the only reason you don't have any bids is because you keep cancelling them all. Mine included.

      It really irks me when people post on their auctions "I love the bid!! Auto soon"
      If it has a pet in the 'autos' section and you still haven't accepted it because of 'demand.'
      Then what's the point of autos? Not like your not going to stick with them.

A lot of users do it so that other bidders have a chance to beat it- not because they want more, but they want to give them a fair chance.
The day before any auction I run ends, I close the option to send bids and send the trades back as suggestions, telling them who's winning and when it's ending. There's nothing wrong with people not auto-ing autos- and if you'd look at the Auction rule thread you'd know they aren't required to.

On a rant note, Auctions are b o r i n g.
I have 2 bids for my pets, and neither is fair at all..

And now my bidders run away. Why do you take part my auction when you give up? Ugh.

I'm talking about when they keep it like that for weeks; I understand when people do that, considering I do it myself

It just really bugs me when a requirement for a auction is you MUST bump it or else your bid will be cancelled. I feel like that's pretty rude. It's just like when you MUST put a code word or they will cancel, if you follow all the rules, why should it matter? Also I don't feel I must bump your thread (I usually do though) but isn't that more the job of the auctioneer? I mean if they are really looking to auction that pet they should advertise and not force the bidders to as well, it should be up to the bidders to decide what they want to do.
