Auction House Laughs

[IronClan]

Okay here's the idea, spot something particularly ridiculous to the point of being worth a laugh or at least entertaining, post up a screenie, and maybe a short comment...

I have two, this first one I've been seeing every day for the past 3 months (not exaggerating) when I check medium armor for good twink gear, at first I loled then I just shook my head, then the gold standard changed to plat and I roflcoptered and it's been another month since that:

When the standard changed he went from not selling it for something like 5 million gold, to not selling it for 9 million gold, aka 900,000plat.. and a few weeks ago he upped the price to 1mil plat...


and


9000pp at House J vendor with zero haggle.

Wow, just wow. I've seen some pretty bad stuff, but these rank up there.

Oh man that's better than either of mine, I actually LOLed... If the time left on it said 8hours or 1 2 or 3 days I'd accuse you of staging that! unbelievable...

Sad, actually pretty pathetic, funny as all h*** none the less. +1 rep! But excellent example of our (not so great) AH in need of fixing. Ive noticed that after vending and then repairing then going back to the sell screen if i had an item in my bag that has taken damage (not permanent damage, just damaged) the vendors wont buy the item from you til it has been repaired. IMHO I say that Turbine needs to fix the AH to where it will not take items that have permanent damage, PERIOD! if anything by doing this there will be a lot less pages to go thru that are filled with junked out, trashed items.

That one makes me wish you could report auctions...I feel for the poor newb who thinks they are getting a deal and don't notice/understand durability. I saw a similar auction for an Icy Burst Vorp of Pure Good that had 15% left.

I must say the outrageous prices on random drops is nice, but when you see something that you can easily go and buy off a vendor... that takes the cake in my book.

Guild Spam looks good and tastes great.

Buyer beware on the AH is the rule.

The poor newb with 500k plat sitting around to spend on a lowbie weapon? really?

my favorite is all the obvious 10x pricing on items.

at least hopefully the 20 pages of winter recipes will go away until we have winter games out of season again.

The most ridiculous thing that I spot when I jump onto the auction house is a lack of decent search features. I would screenshot the AH UI but I'm lazy It's ridiculous that I have to sort through endless pages of small chains, small bones, and medium horns to look for an epic scroll.

**rant off**
