Hey now...I have three repond weaps for you silly townies. 1. a surpassingly accurate massive war fork of force and repond slaying....S/B 150k 10k increments...sco 2. a two handed axe of force and repond slaying....S/B 200k same as before 3. a surpassingly accurate substantial bardiche of might and repond slaying S/B 50k. ALSO I AM tnt Wench on irc FEEL FREE to offer a ridiculous amount. I may just close bids and take some dough from someone depends how I feel. Alright guys holla back.
Closing bids, all items sold. War fork was purchased for 350 IRC offer. ALSO I HAVE A VENDOR UP WITH GOOD WEAPONS....south of white marble in occlo. tnt vendor house.
What kind of auction was this? I won it at 250k 24hrs after last bid, annnnnd you lose someone gave me 350k. Wow! Cool
Awe man sorry, do you not see on the bottom of the post about feel free to IRC me a ridiculous offer. Do you want to pay 350k? I haven't sold it yet...I'll be home at 630 central...I want to be fair but 100k over auction price I jumped on it :/ I don't really care about feelings either this is strictly uo business @ it's finest.
Not a good idea to set an auction and accept irc offer at the same time. Your best option is to ask to your "irc buyer" to bid on your auction. On that way, everything will be alright. Congratulation for your first post, without people like you, this forum thread will be boring! Sorry if we was "strict" with you @Baskin but there too weird things on the trading post lately.
Allowing someone to privately bid via IRC also opens the door for sellers to make "false bid claims" by saying, "I was offered X amount via IRC," and therefore would allow people to manipulate their own bids by trying to jack the price up. It's best to keep it in forums only so that all bids are clearly seen and in the open, and no scamming is made possible. I'm not saying you did that, but that's one reason why auctions should be kept in forum.
Quite literally the opposite, this is UO business at its worst. Your listing is vague, had no end time, you posted end times and then took a higher bid (without a 24hr chance for anyone to outbid) from an unnamed buyer (yet you still have the item on hand.) Poor form and a blight on your sales reputation is what this really is. Good luck in all your future dealings.
