Pale Lavender Ioun Stone Auction

[Tomalon]

Thanks, its all about the timing

indeed and timing was perfect on this one!

But that's the point. Since you don't know what the highest bid is (only that you are not it) you would more likely bid the highest amount possible

There's a reason all the high level auctions in the world aren't done silent.

Hmmm seems to be a lot of mystery here. Does flack by any chance work for turbine's ingame acct management department

LOL. You got me. I was drunk with power. A little to drunk probably because I sent myself a stern warning about my Mabar activities. :P And yes. Perfect timing.

But that's the point. Since you don't know what the highest bid is (only that you are not it) you would more likely bid the highest amount possible

If you are willing to pay 500 plat and you know the highest bid is 1 plat, you will only bid 2, no reason to get near 500. that's not to the OP's advantage

Sure it sucks when we're biddig but I've always made my "auction" threads like this

PM will be sent

Exactly my reasoning.

Not true. If you look back through the truly valuable items on this server, they went for a lot. If its valuable enough the op can basically ask anything he wants.

If the bids are going up, they will keep going up until people dont want to pay any more. It really doesnt matter if its in small pieces or big chunks. By not stating what the bid is he is excluding more people from the auction that might bid. And likely getting messages for no reason at all from people that arent willing to pay up.

Maybe I am screwing myself by not having an open auction but I stand behind my stupidity and stubbornness. But seriously there have been some very generous bids. If it we're to end now I would have no regrets making the trade.

If I ever get lucky enough to pull something so in demand again that I can't or won't use, I'll probably try the open auction and see how that goes.

Thanks all for your bids. I'll update again around 6PM tonight.

What an amusing concept.

A silent auction.

So the OP basically wants more than he can possibly get on the AH, but doesn't want to appear greedy to his peers.

Hey guys I have some stuff to sell, why don't you offer me everything you have and I'll let you know if it's enough.

So you come to the Sarlona market place from Khyber and try to start some drama? Go troll somewhere else.

[Flack]

We have a winner. As of now the auction is over and the high bidder has been contacted via PM.

Thanks for all your interest. If I ever pull another one I promise I'll put it up for open auction .

[Quikster]

I think the idea is, you would have to match his outrageous bid, plus yours. Hence, you cant be out bid, just outta scales

Guess he didn't take this seriously!

[toughguyjoe]

It would be wildly helpful to know what it went for, if you don't mind.

PM it to me even, Mums the word, promise.
