I admire the way you bid, Allereli.

[Allereli]

I admire the way you bid, Allereli.

thank you

edit: btw if she withdrew her 1.4 mil (1.3?) after I bid 1.5, would be cool to go back to 1.2 :)

[droit]

I'm not sure that's how it works...

[iJin]

Actually, if I withdrew my bid at 1.3 mill after she previously bid at 1.2 mill, She would of been bidding 1.5 after a nonexistant bid (Since I withdrew it).

The bid should go back to 1.2 mill. Since it's only fair.

[droit]

Alright, alright.

1.2 then.

[NocturnalRob]

5% = 60k, slut. i also accept payment in the form of ranger spells

Since there was bidding activity late into last night, I'm extending the auction until this evening to give people a chance to get home from work.

:club:

[droit]

If it makes you feel any better, I'll set 8pm Eastern as the cutoff for bids.

[Allereli]

No, it doesn't, I'm going to the mall after work.

[Brielus]

2.5m

[NocturnalRob]

Couch...couch...C-O-R...um...ARE you going to the mall later?

[Rimalon]

WHY THE HELL DO PEOPLE PAY SO MUCH FOR RARE WOODS?!

IT CAN'T JUST BE FOR THE E-PEEN.

[Brielus]

I just want it because I've a really nice alter for it thought up, and I've never had anything lor.

[Allereli]

Because of the way this was run, I will not be bidding any further. I thought Droit was a better person than to pull this crap.

[Brielus]

you can still outbid me, he hasnt really done anything wrong.

[Allereli]

you can still outbid me, he hasnt really done anything wrong.

sorry, set a time to end the auction, then extend it after no bids have been received for almost 12 hours, that's bullshit

[droit]

I'm sorry you feel that way. I thought I was doing the polite thing by allowing those who had just noticed the auction a reasonable period in which to bid. I won't retract the action now, but I'll try to be clearer in the future.

Edited to add: The 8pm deadline still holds.

[Allereli]

I thought I could get more money by extending the auction.

fixed

[Brielus]

DAMN YOU DROIT YOU CLEVER SUMNAMABITCH!.... my bid still stands.

[droit]

Well, sure. It is an auction, after all. The item should go to the person willing to pay the most for it, not the person whose schedule happens to give them the advantage. With that in mind, since you've had the longest interest in this item, I'd be happy to further extend the auction to a time that would allow you to have your final say. When I set the 8pm time limit, I was trying to both allow new people to bid but also to be reasonable to you. Yes, I'm benefiting financially from extending the auction, but I'm not a completely greedy person--I did reduce your bid after Kitsun withdrew, did I not? Again, I'm sorry you seem to have taken personal offense to the way I held this auction. If there is a time you'd like me to end it so that you can take part in its closing, please let me know.

[NocturnalRob]

If there is a time you'd like me to end it so that you can take part in its closing, please let me know.

12 hours ago?

[Allereli]

If there is a time you'd like me to end it so that you can take part in its closing, please let me know.

On Friday night you announced the closing time for the auction as Monday morning. If people didn't notice it for two whole days, then IMO tough shit. You reduced it because I outbid Zuie who at the same time deleted her post, which I thanked you for. I call people out just as fast as I thank them.

I'm pissed because the staff wasn't for me, I was going to give it to someone as a gift, but I'm not going to bid more than what should have been the winning amount.

[droit]

Well, I apologize. All I can say at this point is that I'll be sure not to make the same mistake in the future.

[Allereli]

Well, I apologize. Because someone has bid higher and I'll get more money I won't retract the extension, no matter how much of a dick move this has been.

fixed

[droit]

You know, Brielus just sent me a PM giving me his permission to negate his bid and give you the staff for your earlier bid, which I was leaning towards doing. But posts like that last one are making it a lot harder for me to make that choice.

[droit]

So do you want it for 2.2m, or do you want to continue trashing me for making a mistake in the way I ran this auction?

[Allereli]

You know, Brielus just sent me a PM giving me his permission to negate his bid and give you the staff for your earlier bid, which I was leaning towards doing. But posts like that last one are making it a lot harder for me to make that choice.

Because I have no right to be pissed about it and post my opinion...

I'm just calling it as I see it. Give it to Brielus, I'm not taking anything back.

[droit]

So be it.

[droit]

This auction will continue until 8pm because we here at Droit & Droit have a newfound appreciation for sticking to stated deadlines.

[875000]

3.1 M

[droit]

Sold. Please IM me at GS4Droit.

[AestheticDeath]

Did I read it wrong or was the gal bitching even though she didn't win?

From what you said, it was high bid when you checked in on the 29th, that bid was 2m to dwarventank, not 2.2m to her.

Besides first time you check on the auction could be ANYTIME on Monday. You could have just not posted in the thread until 11:59 PM

[Lyberty]

bitching is what she does best it seems

[GSIVPlayer]

GOOD LORD...

I'm selling my Carved Lor Runestaff as soon as i get back..

[Lyberty]

Be sure to offer it to Allereli first

[Kitsun]

The problem with running an auction with a pre-set end time only encourages people to bid snipe at the last minute. I can entirely see a rolling deadline being fair to counteract it but I find it is just easier to update going once, twice, thrice.

These lor runestaves have really gone down in price too. The few originals sold for like 8,000,000 each.

Seconded. Learned my lesson the first time I put a time deadline. Just say night and if people don't bid right away their loss.
