View Full Version : I (unintentionally) sniped my first auction!

A long time ago I resigned myself to not getting the items I wanted in a competitive bid situation. Both a straight bidding war and putting in my best price just wasn't working for me. I don't set real life timers to remind me when fake item auctions expire. No big deal, life goes on.

Well I've been working a character through the mid-levels and was bidding on a +1 Fearsome Docent. I had about three bids over a three day period, each time outbid. Yesterday, I get home from work - the wife and kids had left for a minute - so I log on and make a bid. Within 15 seconds of placing the bid I got a message saying I won the auction. Score!

Didn't get the POP VIII, the superior combustion item, and some other item, but I totally rocked on the ugly looking docent.

Man, my boy Bee searched high and low for some fearsome brigadine that was ugly as all heck. When i found some and passed it to him, i've never seen a more excited barbarian! So yeah, ugly and fearsome work great together. And yeah, i've done that once before, but the auction said 2 hours, and it was in my box (in the harbor) before i could walk back to it, lol.
