The other day I also noticed that there were offers of moon deeds priced just a little bit below the CLDs, seller hoping someone would make a mistake and pay 3k for a 25 ped item. This stuff needs to be regulated by MA somehow because it’s actually hurting the game, if a person makes that mistake they’ll quit and never come back.

I had plan to, but minimum selling price is TT+1 ped, while his offer is tt+0.01, if anyone has any ideas I am down to sarcrifice some money :slight_smile:

I dont see the point of this kind of buy order.
You cant post something for under 1 ped.
I post a CLD for 1 ped, this shit wont buy it, 10 CLD for 1 ped neither.
One have to post 100 CLD for 1 ped for this to buy his stuff.

Posting all your CLD for 1 ped is not the mistake peoples used to make.
Posting the stack for the price of 1 is the mistake they used to make, the top buy order will buy the CLDs.
This is just ped donation to AH.

While we’re at it we should eliminate the ability to sell stuff on auction for less than TT. I’ve Had this happen to me on a stack of 990 oil of some sort before where I was trying to set the MU value at 101.x% but I accidentally sold it for 6 ped instead of 1006 ped… seems like a stupid system and yes it’s ultimately my fault but at least don’t let the auction buyout get set to 2% of the TT value. Minimum should be TT hard coded in.

Hold on let me place an order at TT+1

While I grant that use cases for intentionally posting items under TT Value may be niche, I think we should be very cautious about “eliminating abilities” as a solution to perceived auction problems. Repeatedly applying this mindset is how systems become rigid, inflexible, and feature-poor over time. Instead, we could achieve a similar outcome by giving individuals more capabilities rather than less; we could have an Advanced Settings page where each auction user can set their own conditions for which warnings and locks prevent items from being accidentally sold, and change them at any time.

Your post is about the selling side, but also very valid. We can see the person aiming to catch someone out here, however. I noticed it too, and I agree MA should do something about both orders and offers that are like this. At the very least, there should be an initial warning to the person responsible of a ‘dodgy listing’ flagged by MA, and maybe even a dark red listing or so to other players, that ‘the software’ considers the order or offer to be well out of normal bounds!

As for the thread, having a new discussion every time someone posts an abnormal auction order is starting to feel like having a new discussion every time someone gets a spam email. It’s probably not healthy to dwell on the same frustrations over and over. Sellers would have to be very cautious posting expensive items with or without these auction orders. Maybe there’s some scenario in which the seller otherwise notices the mistake right away, dodges a bullet, and gets to cancel the offer, but they would still be racing against everyone else browsing the new item view, so it’s pretty likely that the outcome would be the same.

No it’s definitely not healthy, BUT the only way to get something fixed now a days is to bitch and bitch and bitch until the company changes something.

You wouldnt believe how many “drunk” players missclick in AH

These are obviously resellers hoping to scam someone.

I listed 7 pulsar 2 plates the other day with one accidently for like 900k buyout. Was happy someone told me because I don’t look at my auctions after I throw them on. Honest mistakes happen. 900k was a bit too much for him so he got the plate for normal MU in the end :slight_smile:

The other way around, if I sell something way too low on auction instead, I consider the item lost. So many fucking mistakes are made with those deeds though, we have a better system (exchange) so why not convert the deeds to that?

But this is all wishful thinking, people will continue to get scammed untill unreal. MA hasn’t really given a damn about this issue so far…

Remember, unreal will fix everything!
