If I wanted a SH I would be pissed...Follow

C'mon guys and gals...two of you wonderful members of Bismarck paid double on the AH for a scorpion harness making the last two sales for 23 million and 26 million.

You want to talk about messing up the economy? Don't blame gil sellers anymore...blame the morons who wish to pay twice the already inflated price for an item that should never have been worth more than 5 million tops.

I havent ever made a complaint thread and I dont intend to again, but when I see a blatantly ridiculous thing like this happen...it just pisses me off.

lookin awful shadey on Nony's part >.> I always thought he was a good guy too.....

All of them NA possibly one char with mules.

I'm still in shock and find it disheartening to say the least =/

this is just another case of a couple of greedy retards trying to artificially inflate the price of something so they can scam some poor gil buyin fool out of his money. it is really disgraceful that someone I used to know would stoop to this. It probably isn't the nony I knew but some asshat that bought the account and is now trying to jerk everyone around. the obvious answer is to not buy the stuff at the inflated price and let them eat the fee for listing it. will that happen? doubt it..with gil online as low as 5 bucks a million some 40 yr old virgin will swipe his visa and pay the hundred bucks to buy 20 millon gil. but that is human nature to be greedy like nony and lazy like all the asshats that drive the gil selling market.

Heres the follow up...

Two graeat player in an effort to erase the SH history sold one to themselves for 1 gil. Kaiser and Grayfox, many thanks to you. However in their zeal, some *** hat jumped in and got a SH for less than 100gil. So these two pioneers lost money trying to do a good deed.

I would ask that everyone who cares send them each 5k gil. Lets see if we can get them some money back in their pockets. I dont care if they are rich and don't need to be reimbursed. People need to be shown that good deeds really do pay for themselves.

I have not spoken to either person and this is not a ploy to get them gil...I just think it is the right thing to do.

pardon the cross server posting, but someone linked this in Midgardsormr, and i just noticed this on KI and wanted to share (yeah, i'm bored at work):

Not only do I want to kick the people who tried to jack up the price in the nuts, but I want to **** kick the guy who screwed over the two people trying to HELP the server from here to canada and back...

Yeah, this is really starting to get retarded. I saw those SHs sold last night at 23 & 26m... These morons have been doing this for the last few weeks to al sorts of items on the AH, but this time it was just a little too excessive.

This alone proves it always isnt the sellers jacking up the prices. About a week and half ago I put a SH on the AH for 8.2m and it sold for 10m. I got a talon for cheap the other day, made a weskit and listed it on the AH for 8.9m ~ the going rate was 9.9m so I figured I'd give someone a little break, it sold for 10m.

I also noticed these same 2 ppl that bought the SHs did the same thing to elusive earrings last night, however the price bump was only about another 1.2m or so. It is just starting to get old and retarded.

In regards to the guys selling the SH for 1g and someone bought it for 10g ~ well thats some funny stuff right there. Would have made more sense had they listed it for about 7m or so - that price I think is reasonable.

sorry to hear this, i'm on fenrir randomly popping other server's forum to see if its the same and.... and its the same '-'

Stormriderx is someone I know in RL, and AFAIK none of those are his mules. He's AFK right now so I can't ask him what was running through his head. Based on RL experience: he doesn't like to wait.

Ok.. Stormriderx is my RL friend's mule. He meant to bid on a SH+1 and has since sold the 23mil SH via AH for 15m....

I would check them but I don't know my POL email password.

That proves that Bismarckians won't stand for the jacked up prices. I still think whatever it was going for (7-10mil?) is completely outrageous but hey, like a good friend once said, bein' Ãœber ain't easy. And I'll never be Ãœber
