Lemon Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Umm, you need to set a starting bid and an end date and time for Auctions. Edited February 4, 2017 by Lemon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TripleR Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Well, I mean this is posted as sell and not auction, I think technically this is allowed, even if it is an almot semi-auction type setup. No different than someone having an item listed with -offer for the the price in a tradelist. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soly Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 How fast can I type a new rule about item selling that you have to put a set price in S> topics? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleR Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Probably faster than it took you to type out this post. Honestly I am not opposed to that. I am pretty sure I kicked up a fuss about something very similar with people posting sell topics that just said pm offer only. That said, and I am pretty sure it's not the case here because everyone knows the kind of prices these are going for, but what about when you are not sure of what you should sell something at? Often you can ask like several different people for a price check and get several different answers. I guess that's why I did my spread needle in an auction though haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soly Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 That's simple, sell it at the price you think is convenient for you (and maybe others). If someone said 50 pds and other said 75.. sell at 65 or something? or just do 75... if someone said is too high and you agree with him, lower it, the thing is... Everybody will then do "S> to best offer" and have their non-ending auctions.... Btw isn't that , "best offer", what auctions are about? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleR Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Well, why not make it a rule then? It's a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannv Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) On my point of view in an auction you are obligated to sell an item even if the offers aren't what you were expecting, you have a commitment to sell your item. You can't just go back and decide you don't want to sell your item for what was offered by bidders. When you are expecting people to offer, lets say, "I expect to receive x ammount, but I'm not sure about the price" so I let people offer items, PDs/DTs that reach this x ammount of value for my item. Maybe I'm understanding this in a wrong way, but aren't we taking out the freedom of sellers to sell their items for an offer that they like and have an agreement? "I'm selling a PGF (Seller thinks: I expect to receive 300 DTs). Offer... Wants are: max Excalibur, Lindcray, Psycho Raven, PDs, DTs" If someone PMs that person and say that he will buy your PGF for 300 DTs and someone else offers you items that are more than 300 DTs, would you honestly sell to the person that offered first or to the person who offered more? I doubt anyone but seller can have a control over that, others will say it is an "auction, he sold for the best offer"... But as the seller and owner of the item I think he have the right to choose the best offer right? That's how I see auction vs selling for offers. Auctions you are obligated to sell for the best offer; the second not, you can make people offer and that doesn't mean the people will pay what you are expecting and also doesn't mean it is an auction, maybe seller is expecting an offer that call your attention... I don't think we need more rules, sellers and buyers needs more consciousness when selling/buying items. Sinceretly I support freedom. This is server is almost 9 years old and such rules weren't needed since then... Edited February 4, 2017 by yanvbraz 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleR Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Well that is what setting a minimum bid is for, although people do tend to lose their shit if the starting bid is high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soly Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 But isn't it the same thing? The only different thing is not having an end date... Lets see with your example Spoiler 25 minutes ago, yanvbraz said: "I'm selling a PGF (Seller thinks: I expect to receive 300 DTs). Offer... Starting bid, 300 DTs. 25 minutes ago, yanvbraz said: someone PMs that person and say that he will buy your PGF for 300 DTs First bid for starting bid. 25 minutes ago, yanvbraz said: someone else offers you items that are more than 300 DTs Second bid. 25 minutes ago, yanvbraz said: I doubt anyone but seller can have a control over that, others will say it is an "auction, he sold for the best offer"... But as the seller and owner of the item I think he have the right to choose the best offer right? Since there is not a direct relation between items and DTs, items and PDs or PDs and DTs... the previous "items that are more than 300 DTs" is subjective, and since the auctioneer is ... well the auctioneer, he decides what's the highest bid. So basically... if you expect X, then do S> thing for X If you want the most, above X then do A> thing, starting at X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoutgu Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Personally i think its pretty easy to distinguish an auction and a selling post. In a selling post the seller could put an item up without a 'time' limit which allows him to see which offers he will get. In an auction, the seller has to put a time when the auction will end which gives him no choice but to accept the highest offer. Also, with an Auction you're also taking a higher risk as you do not know what the highest offer will be. You could get lower than what you expected or higher and thats the whole point of an auction.
