    Edited to fit "Auction standards"
    LOT: cannonballs from the Ararat - the only thing on server thus far, will be nice with cannons in a fortress.

    These were introduced in 2015 and only 1 drop since then, it can happen that these will be the only till next Halloween or forever (due to special 2016 year event hue).


    Standard 24/48 hrs rules.


    current bid 750k gold - @Erlkonig

    come on people, where are those professional collectors, willing to acquire the only thing on the shard and art lovers who know that money are dirt?

    I'd love both of your treasures, @Too Old For This ... but I'm low on funds and really busy in RL right now. @Arnold Lutz has made you a starting offer for the cannonballs. @Larloch sounds like he's interested in the chest. @ElleFeyRa is another player who collects ornate chests, so perhaps he'll be interested. Good luck with the sales!
    What hue is the chest? 1150 or 1153?

    NoH pirate boss I assume.

    Last year during the test run I got some DC looking cannonballs from that boss.

    yep it was NOH, compendium says it's probability is 1/50 and it's from 2015, but not a single one since - these are the first, and who knows, maybe next year they will be replaced.

    So I'm looking for a REAL price for them.

    A real price? you wouldn't know the real price if it smacked you in the face. That's why you have to do a PC. You need to source out the shard for your price. Rather then come up with what it is valued on your own.

    Then when someone gives you a price, you basically laugh and say it isn't good enough. @Arnold Lutz is a pro collector, and you want someone to go above and beyond on your basic items? Shame on you! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH IT'S WORTH!!!

    ^^^^You people are funny, paying 300x the standard price because "it has a special name". Maybe pay for a different hue, but talk about wasting money on a "name brand". Didn't your parents teach you about not buying the hype......


    Rant over.

    They are tossing good amounts at you, as time goes on and more maybe circulated you will get offered less.

    You're so right, I should be wasting my pixel money on more important and meaningful pixel items

    well... the halloween event is 50% over this year and so far (this year + 2015 Halloween) it dropped only once, I really, really doubt that we'll see +10 more of these things by the end of the next week. So the question will be closed at least for a year if next year they are not changed for some other type of rare loot.


    I just saw how people bid like 4 mil for rare mask dyes, though they have no value for me, but I must admit that I understand 0 in collecting all the rare stuff, because we all get our own from the game. I expected the prices to be at least 1 mil for the only thing on server.

    But that's just my point of view and I don't want to be the dog-in-the-manger. So I think we can turn this to auction actually with standard 24/48 hrs conditions.

    I accept The Crooked Warden's offer as a starting bid and if nobody bids higher will gladly sell those to him, cause I really like the picture in his signature :) and I'm not planning to make some deco in the nearest future.
