Sigh.

I had some stuff on my level 5 Cleric (my high level character) and wanted to give it to my wiffleball character, (the Drow Rogue/Ranger that I plan to play, at least until 1750 favor).

I was going to mail it, but thought, Hey! I can sell it on the AH and buy it with my other character and save a lot of money!!

So I put the asking price a bit higher than the thing was worth. Gloves +2 strength with some other ability. Then I saw a person I had grouped with on the starter island and was chatting with him when I saw the message.

It sold. Seems they go for about 10x what I asked for it.

DOH!!

Lesson 2
I was also bidding on one of thsoe featherfall rings. it was 32,000 gold which was a good deal since they go for so much more and the time was running out and I kept myself in the running. Then I thought: I wonder if I can bid just slightly above the bid someone else puts in.

So, a higher bid came in and I adjusted my bid to be 1000 more (instead of 3000 more) and ....

The auction expired.

I had been constantly hitting the refresh button to see the current bid to make sure I could place a bid quickly and may have gotten a bid in before it expired... but ... alas...

I did manage to buy a +2 set of weave armor that is AC7 plus Dex bonus (which is pretty good (AC10) for level 3 dungeons )... not what I wanted ... but the stuff I bid on gets out bid and sells before I can bid again. It is both easier and harder then I thought to spend the money I got from Gornn and Slink.

Of course at level 3 (I'm not advancing levels so as to get the most exp from the Soloable dungeons so, I'm level 2 Rank 14) there is not much I can really use.

LIVE and LEARN!!!
