Lol @ silent. Yeah, I know it is all part of the game. And I have had stores set up beside me before that set their prices lower than me and all though it is like,

, I take it as it comes. But, this person was clearly â€œstalkingâ€ my store to outbid me. We went back and forth - back and forth. It reminded me of the time I was setting up a buying shop and the same person (for WEEKS), would come set up beside me and set their buying prices just a little bit more than me. I would even move my store to a different location and they would actually follow me. I started taking screenshots to report him, because Dakkon told me that is was harassing another player but I needed proof. But, I guess they ran out of money or time or patience, because I only managed to get 2 screenshots in two different locations before they stopped. So, since they left me alone, I did not bother reporting them.

Spirit, are you using one of your Spirit characters to vend? You might want to use an anonymous alt in case it's some dillweed from FF or the officials.

Yeah, I use Wind because she has the premium houses from Remiâ€™s on her. After they run out though, I might try that.

The buying incident, I knew who it was and they are infamous on the officials forâ€¦.. well, letâ€™s just say they try to control the market. I had words with them on a buying thread on the officials, next thing I know my buying shop is literally being stalked all over Elderine. I would watch them set up, immediately pop out of my shop and move and within 5 minutes, their shop was set back up beside me in the new location. That was what qualified it for harassment.

Ｏｎ　ｔｈｅ　ｏｔｈｅｒ　ｈａｎｄ，　Ｉ feel like the auction house will be good.

An auction house will stop all those lame auctions that people post up and have people bid on only to not sell the item because the minimum price wasn't high enough.

(If it wasn't high enough, why didn't they set the price higher in the first place.....

)

It's a broken system.

If the prices go up, I　ｄｏｎ＇ｔ　ｔｈｉｎｋ　ｔｈａｔ　ｉｔ　ｗｉｌｌ　ｂｅ　ｂｅｃａｕｓｅ　ｏｆ　ｔｈｅ　ａｕｃｔｉｏｎ　ｈｏｕｓｅ．　　Ｒａｔｈｅｒ，　Ｉ think that it would just be a natural inflation that would have happened regardless.
