Not so much an Auction...

Why are people on the official forum "auctioning" their equipments... but will not sell it unless someone offers their buyout price anyway

What's a buyout price?

**Hessah** · 10-24-2008, 12:57 AM

buyout... so... a typical thread would look like:

[Picture of things they're selling]
S/O: 1g
M/I: 100s
B/O: 8g

S/O - Starting Offer... where you start bidding..

M/I - Minimum increment... you must go up by this amount from last offer (so if first person offer 1g, next person have to offer at least 1.1g)

B/O - Buyout... Instant win if you offer this price.

So often the auction will go for like 2 weeks or w/e (rediculously long) and its often sold to some random person that bought their item from their vending shop in game...

Yeah lol, I remember those long auction threads. I would just skip through them. Now, I just skip through the entire website.

Yeah the annoying ones are also the ones where the thread is like 3 pages long, selling several things and the OP doesnt update the current offer!

(not that it matters anyway)

This is why I'm actually excited for the in-game Auction House.
