Auction Rant Thread [v2] New Rule!

[-Compass-]

Shima longtail auctions make me sick.

Not just because what the auctioneer expects ("expects", not "wants"), but because of what people are willing to offer in order to get it.

You're just ruining the economy further, people. Seriously. It's called "enabling" and obviously it's also applicable to mass society in and of itself. There's nothing wrong with wanting some overpay for an auction pet. But. There. Is. A. Line.

Yup, this is how I feel about August PPS auctions ^^

And me with Rainbow mane auctions. Oh my, it really has next to no demand but I still have to pay tier up for it -.-

[catt;]

I was looking through auctions and saw the cookie advent, so I decided to click on it and I saw this...

boosters:
CE Galaxy
Joker
UR Malk
Nonjewel Sundog
Ravendog
Orange Cerberus
Blue Dragon PPS
Rose PPS

those boosters...

I have this pet for auction:
-snip-

My PPS Lion (August 2012, very rare)

I´m interested in WL-pets, hoard-pets, items, C$ & mostly my dream-pets.
You can look in my trade thread (link snipped), if you want to know what I´m searching for!

This auction will end, when I found the right trade:) No end date till yet.

Some helpfull guides for auctions:
Do´s:
+write a message in your trade
+offer WL-pets (I´m not really interested in other pets.)
+offer C$ (please not ONLY C$)
+offer bats, I collect them
+offer a fair trade (I WILL use the "Is this a fair trade"-thread!)
+offer items on my WL
+offer me my dreamies<3 (major & minor, listet in my trade-thread)

Don´ts:
-make an unfair trade
-send the trade again if i canceled
-be rude
-offer rats, horses, ponies, owls, spiders, nick pets!!
-offer no pets on my WL (at least ONE pet should be on my WL, please!)

Autos:
+combi of all my dream-pets^^ (I can dream can´t I)

Boosters:
+UR Bee!!!
+dream-pets
+WL-pets
+List-pets

The UR Rat has like ZERO Demand. I have an Auction, I think its reasonable, i'm not asking anything outragous [Am I?] and i havent even gotten a BAD offer... ZERO Offers. I think its pretty bad when a OMGSR Pet has so little demand it doesnt even get bad offers... What the point? *sigh*

Exactly why when I auctioned my PPS lion I put a limit on how much people could offer. But believe it or not I got more than one person mad at me for not letting them offer 09 VRs or whatever. That doesn't even make sense!

Also I don't understand. This user sent a bid adding to my side which I cancelled saying I was only accepting offers on single pets. So they resend just offering on one pet - it was a great bid so I put it in the lead.
Then they send me a suggestion with some other pets asking if I would consider adding them to my side if they auto with their bid?
So... does that mean your bid is what you'd actually offer? Or is it just some sort of loophole that I'm missing?

I myself am running a Shima Longtail auction and while I can agree with you guys to a point you also need to understand that this is how the real world works too. Supply and Demand, If lots of people want something it is worth more then something no one wants. I am trying to keep my auction somewhat sane and I have decent/fair boosters at the very least. But if people offer me huge crazy amounts then I'm not going to say no so long as they understand that they are overpaying.

Gryphon Store pet
Aussie (Not the UR)- Large Booster
Camo Dog - Huge Booster

No one is interested in my BDM Bunny Auction
I keep thinking I've done something wrong... Like making the boosters and autos more valuable then the bunny itself, but I don't think so I even checked the Advent List to see if they were correct and my Bunny was defiantly higher up the tier then the boosters I mentioned and on the same tier as the autos...
Why do people not like my auction?? *sighs*

That winning bid though...

[Birdschildren]

Finally got a few bids on my auction!!
But, neither one of the users have read the auction rules =.=
I spent hours trying to present the thread nicely, even if you just skipped to the important bits would be nice

The link to the auction is in my signature... Does the thread, to anyone, look difficult to understand or read..? Please inform me if it does, or if the boosters are unfair, because this is really starting to upset me.

I just came across an auction for a low tier Advent List pet... This is what they expected:

Boosters:
C$
MALK WATER ELEMENT CAT
Any of my dreamies.

Autos:
A Fruit or Pickle or Flower or Bee
An amazing amount of C$ and one of the above

Umm... I don't think so XD
What is it with demand these days!? It makes no sense!

[Skye Selkie]

This person just canceled my bid with 'sorry :c'

Why?
Why would you do that?
You had a group named auction which I offered out
You had a whole thread that read through completely
Why?
Why!?

[monty]

I finally had someone bid in my auction.

I'm gonna cry.
