yep. Shad forgot that 1 hour of farming costs minimum 60k gold (just take 2 dragons), or you could make a Coon on 3 chars for an hour and make 21-22 plat at the same time...
Shad's master plan was to quit UOR, raffle all his items off, Rejoin UOR, request all his items back, & run shit auctions.
I think you're being overly simplistic in both cases. You have no clue as to what their personal situation is/was at the time, so you cannot know why they left or came back when and how they did. @shad, I think @SteelyDan and @Too Old For This ... are mostly upset because you seem to be wanting to extract more than what "fair" market value is. In this case linking @Cynic's post implying that a green amib's value is 170k so that is what people should pay. I saw it first hand on the lvl 5 maps, when I bid and before winning you top it with a post saying "Lvl 5!!" as if implying I'm paying too little for them, when in reality I was paying more than what I have bought dozens of lvl 5's for. This case is pretty much the same, I didn't even bother posting a SB because SB is above what I consider fair value for this item. It is fine and good to top an auction, it is just the form that may rub potential buyers the wrong way.
Follow the rules Shad, my sales are going directly to bottom because of these bullshit bumps. Clean it up 1 bump every 24hrs This is a warning
