  1. Hi there, I wanted to make a little point : Sell : you set a price, people buy it or not. Eventually if several people want it, you sell it to be highest offer. Generally small/common items are being sold, because most of the time the price is easy to evaluate. Auction : you set a starting price and a countdown, you wait the end of the countdown to take the highest bid. Normally big/rare/valuable items are being auctioned because the price can vary a lot depending on how much people want it. Also those items are often the kind that you can only get during events, or have really high stats, or are just plain hard to hunt : which makes their price even harder to evaluate. Disguised auction : You give a price (or not huhu) then ask for people to pm. You receive a first pm saying I offer "that", then a second offering less than "that", so you answer to this second pm that the price should be at least "that+" in order to win the auction be the one that will get to buy your shit. You ask for offers and getting pm, you don't give any clue of nothing and you expect to have a shiny overpriced offer coming out of nowhere. You try to get the maximum price out of shitty/common items. Generally : you never say anywhere that you're auctioning (can even use the S> in order to disguise even better), but everything in the way you "sell it" looks like an auction, except it's not following the rules Why am I being a bitch about it ? Because this kind of thing : "So this car is for sale, what do you offer ? Also please don't say it out loud, whispers it so that other people don't have any clue." looks way to shady and it kinda of dissuade me to participate at all. Not even to mention some of those sellers that will just feel offended or leave the PM without saying a word. They ask to offer blindly and when we do, they're not happy. Basically they just want you to offer all you have at once or get out of their way ; no compromise, no haggling. That's (among other things) why Cyane made a clear topic about auction rules : Now, that said, am quite sure that most people are not doing it on purpose. Some of them just don't know about the rules, some of them have no manners, and so on. Well, it's not too late to get better at it ! Of course there is no rules preventing someone to be a jerk and saying "am selling it, I told you am just selling it, am just not happy with the current price so I wait for better". People to which I'd answer : "then don't sell it now, wait until you're happy with what people could offer". Or, make it an auction so that people know what to expect. At the end of the day, it's mainly about me not standing this kind of hypocrisy ; but am sure am not the only one in this case =)
