I started this theard in appraisals. Moving it to here to start the auction. A few things said in the other post http://forum.gsplayers.com/showthread.php?79273-Trying-to-find-out-how-much-6200-Premium-points-are-worth


I am trying to find out the value of my premium points. Have been away from the lands for a while and on coming back saw that I had that many points. 5.6 years to be exact. I want to sell the points I will only take serious offers. From what I have been able to gather on LNET is that they are worth around 7.5 to 10k a point. I want to sell them as a group but will consider offers. Again only serious offers. Starting Bid is 50m will not even consider anything under that. So please if you want let me know. I will also consider trades. I am a rogue...so I want something that a one handed ambusher would use...will consider anything prefer 7x or higher...if lower it better have really good crit weighting or something. Already have an extremely rare 5x fel hafter max crit weight...Also looking for a shield...Armor also...So if your interested let me know.

Berean is in game name.

The system doesn't show a starting date for premium service on this account (obviously, this shouldn't happen). Please send a note to billing@simutronics.com for investigation. Thanks for your cooperation, and we'll have it fixed ASAP.

People wanted to know what I had that would hold me accoutable....

Hey everyone...I have no problem at all with you alls messages. Ihave been out of the lands awhile like I said..and I did not even know premium points were worth this. I have no problem coming up with collaterall....Like I said I have some extremely rare stuff....or stuff with very personalized double alterations (when you look at someone then a show when I show it to them....I will list some of them so yall can see what I would be give in return for trust. I do not scam. I have been around along time..Also if need be I will have a gm be a third party witness I am not out to scam anyone or give myself a bad name. I will list a few things that I hold dear to me...and if you like you can hold them...So I have no problem making sure we can make it work.

My Items you can hold if you need to.

some fingerless black leather gloves - Two small pockets.
SHOW IS - Crafted of supple leather, these gloves are short and are designed to barely come to the edge of the wrist. Thick strips of hard leather are sewn into the palm with thin silver threads for reinforcement. The same sturdy silver threads bind the raw edges of the fingerholes and keeps them from fraying. Slender silver buckles, stamped with sigils, form a simple clasp at the back of the hand.

One of my Favorite Items:
razern-edged ashen lockpick case - Holds many many picks extra weight holding
SHOW IS - This small case, crafted from a dark ashen metal, has been masterfully edged with shimmering blue-streaked razern. Small runes, barely visible at a glance, have been lightly etched across the top of the case, appearing and vanishing as light catches their outline. The case is glossy and smooth all around, except for a small, strangely-cut keyhole on the front panel.

My Weapon Harness Very Nice I think:
supple dark leather weapon harness-
SHOW IS - Padded with ebon felt, this ashen harness has scales double-stitched in charcoal grey thread. A buckle over the shoulder is set with a sapphire to form an eye, the chest strap below forming a long, slender snout, the flaps on the back gleaming with the faint blue and violet sheen of wing membranes. The abdomen strap buckle depicts interlocking talons, while an extra strap beneath resembles a spiked tail, completing the stylized dragon.

My Armor Fantastic Alteration in my mind anyways -
some glazed ebon-on-black brigandine -
SHOW IS - Crafted for comfort as well as protection, the armor has a rich, pure black color. Fine lines of ebon enamel appear almost magically as the light shifts over the brigandine, forming an incredibly detailed dragon spread over the torso. Leather wings array down the left arm, and the head of a dragon turns to gaze out from deep sapphire eyes. One forepaw clinging to the shoulder and its hind legs stretch back and fasten at the hips with talons so realistic, its tail coiling tightly around the leg. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph. 4x brig

As you can tell the past two items have been Dragon themed...think they were very nicely done..

My Cloak -
deeply hooded ash grey woolen cloak
SHOW IS - A delicate transition from stormy grey to charcoal darkness makes the cloak resemble billowing clouds of soot. Tightly-woven of high quality wool, the cloak provides comfort without sacrificing function. Matte silk thread is stitched irregularly about the cloak's hems. A braided ebon cord forms a simple knot at the wearer's throat, securely fastening the cloak snugly into place.

Now the Big money Item - Well a set actually...Two weapons...altered to be a pair. Both heavy crit weighting. Rare 5x Felhafter with I think max weighting. A Dagger to match with weighting.

Weapon Number 1- My Baby
suede-wrapped fel hafted waraxe 5x Heavy Crit Weighting
SHOW IS - Slender strips of sun-bleached suede are worked into a tightly braided weave around the long fel haft of this waraxe. The wide blade of the axe is razor sharp, its wide body acid-etched with sinuous patterns of interwoven sigils that dance across the shiny surface towards the ingots that bind it to the haft. Deep carvings spiral around the fel haft and are filled with an ashen dye that has been varnished over to provide the haft a weather tight seal. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.

Matching Weapon - Weighted Dagger for ambushing
suede-wrapped vultite dagger - 4x crit weighting
SHOW IS - Slender strips of sun-bleached suede are worked into a tightly braided weave around the hilt of this dagger. The narrow blade of the dagger is razor sharp, its length acid-etched with sinuous patterns of interwoven sigils that dance across the shiny surface. Deep carvings, filled with a ashen dye, spiral around the fel knob that serves as a pommel.


Ask you can tell every item I linked has a basic alteration when you look at my character and a show when I show it to you. These are personal items that I spent a long time in coming across and many different airshows and so on. I just want to trade the 6200 points MB is 50Mil to someone who will get more use out of it. Again I will take a trade....So let me know if interested or whatelse I need to do.

Will also consider real money but its going to be the going rate...and its expensive..So hope to hear back soon.

Also Draccor, Enzick, Drewain, Zeminar, Tesserus are a few poeple who will vouch for me. I promise I am trust worthy and have played this game to long to throw my rep away.

Also I will for sure 100percent be getting a GM involved I don't want any of my items taken and I don't want to take yours. Would rather just make sure everyone feels good about the whole thing.

There have been two bids one by . SILE - When you put this up for auction I'll open with the 50m min bid. Way I will go about it if I win. I will exchange a 7x perfect weapon for your 5x fel hafter, after the work is done I would buy the weapon back from you for whatever I won the auction.

If that is agreeable to you.

Second bid is 52 MIL by Slit Eye. Those are these user names on here. So LET THE BIDDING BEGIN...think about it folks the big merchant festival coming up...6200 points could rock somebodys world. I will also Take a buyout

MB - 52mil by SLIT EYE

Will take a Buyout of 90mil or will take 550 dollars or will consider cash offers but it has to be above 500

Do you care if It's a mix of coin and cash?

Also, am I the only one that thinks PC has gone bizarro world? Lots of auctions in High End Folder that are 1 to 5 million and here is a 50 plus million in the regular auction folder.

I met him last night in game and spent an hour singing to his items. I encouraged him to do a lot of research before selling to make sure he gets an ok price. And voila this thread. Facepalm..

Berean, you need to sell your PPs as one auction, and each of your items that are worth 100k+ in their own auction.. or just do a big auction thread, but do it right. List key item specs in thread description, etc. You need the maximum exposure for your items. Also now is a bad time to sell with CCF coming.

Someone trusted like Buckwheet or Briarfox can help, they are good merchants and also in the cool club. (in case you need someone trusted to oversee your sale)

Like I said I have some extremely rare stuff.

Not really.


I promise I am trust worthy and have played this game to long to throw my rep away.

Ok, well can you throw a "sincerely" before the "promise"? That will make the difference.


Also I will for sure 100percent be getting a GM involved

That's it. This must be a safe deal now.



After listening to this guy on lnet the other day and now all of this - there is a scam in the works.

Berean I suggest you get a trusted merchant to be a third-party on this. You're going to get robbed.

Someone is going to buy the silver star and volunteer to be the GM involved in this deal.

I think Berean is well intentioned, just with a few things going against him. New account on here, being relatively unknown, and a little nieve.

He probably kept to himself or played with others who have not been around for awhile. There are a few people who play the game and don't really interact with others.

I can't go above the current bid because of the unknowns assoiated with the deal. It could be a scam in the works like you mentioned, hard to say for sure either way.

I hope it isn't and this goes through with no hitches.

Berean asked for a bard last night on Lnet. He claimed to have about 200m in assets. I can confirm he has a +17 imflass double chain (had been enchanted by a Sildam or a name like that - was blackened, looked like a failed project), +22 fireleaf medium buckler, 5x wall shield, 7x tower shield, 5x handaxe with weighting, and two items with interesting loresongs. (A ring and an orb). He didn't ask me to sing to anything else with significant value.

Many of the items he presented to me were old enough that they have odd looking inspect/analyze and songs. I am no expert so he should probably get anything rare re-evaluated.

You see Lord Berean.
He appears to be a Half-Elf.
He is tall and appears to be wizened with age. He has brooding stormy grey eyes and tanned skin. He has short, wavy sandy blonde hair with lighter streaks. He has frown lines.
He has a smoky black shadow tattoo on his wrist, and a stooping ash grey drake tattoo on his wrist.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a stainless steel bracer wrapped in ebon vruul skin, a russet velvet knapsack, a razern-edged ashen lockpick case, an enruned silvery glaes ring, a faceted dreamstone ring, a deep blue glaesine orb, some glazed ebon-on-black brigandine, a dark leather locksmith's toolkit, a whorled pale sapphire wristlet, some fingerless black leather gloves, a lead-bound ceramic badge, an ornate black spidersilk satchel slung over his shoulder, a tightly woven spidersilk sack, a supple dark leather weapon harness slung over his other shoulder, a deeply hooded ash grey woolen cloak, and some polished black leather boots.



Any ideas? (see below)

You accept Berean's offer and are now holding a deep blue glaesine orb.
>;ising
--- Lich: ising active.
[ising]>loresing orb that I hold;let your value now be told
You sing tremblingly:

"Orb that I hold
Let your value now be told"


As you sing, you sense a minute vibration somewhere within the glaesine orb. The crystalline stars within the glaesine orb shimmer slightly in response to your song.

Roundtime: 5 sec.

You sing tremblingly:

"Orb that I hold
Let your purpose now be told"


As your voice rises and falls, all light fades into a blackened void of nothingness. Suddenly, an implosion shakes the void, the searing brightness at its center blinding you momentarily before your eyesight returns.

Roundtime: 6 sec.

You sing tremblingly:

"Orb that I hold
Let your magic now be told"


As you continue to sing, you see the image of brightly glowing spheres hurtling away from the center of the implosion, bringing light to the far reaches of the velvety darkness of the void.

Roundtime: 6 sec.

You sing tremblingly:

"Orb that I hold
Let your special ability now be told"


As you conclude the song, the glowing spheres begin to slow their advance into the darkness, eventually hovering with gentle grace as pinpoints of light in the unending sea of midnight. Pulsating slightly, the spheres hum with the resonance of all the ages.

Slowly, your eyesight returns and your surroundings fade into view.

Roundtime: 7 sec.

>inspect orb
Inspecting that may not be a sound idea.
>
Berean slides an enruned silvery glaes ring off his finger.
>anal orb
You analyze your glaesine orb and sense that there is no recorded information on that item. It may or may not be able to be worked on by a merchant alterer.

You can tell that the orb is as light as it can get.
>exam orb

The orb is shaped of pure deep blue glaes, crafted into a perfect orb. It hangs from a delicate silver chain affixed with a tiny moon-shaped mithril pin.

Tiny shimmering crystals hover inside the orb, pulsating slightly with the light of the stars. Currently they form the shape of the constellation of The Gryphon.

Barely visible on the glaesine surface of the orb, some words have been etched in minute script around its circumference.

Berean says, "As Taajir concludes the song, your vision dims one final time. Glowing spheres of light hurtling away from a bright center begin to slow their advance into the darkness around them, eventually hovering with gentle grace as pinpoints of light in the unending sea of midnight. Pulsating slightly, the spheres hum with the resonance of all the ages."

Berean taps a deep blue glaesine orb.

Berean says, "The silvery light of the crystalline stars glows softly as you trace one finger across your glaesine orb."

Berean traces one finger around the edge of a glaesine orb, which slowly changes color from cerulean to indigo.

You carefully inspect your silvery glaes ring.

You determine that you could wear the ring around your finger. The ring appears to serve some purpose.

This item may NOT be altered. However, singing to it may allow you to glean some information about its history.

You can try to TOUCH and READ the ring.

You get no sense of whether or not the ring may be further lightened.

Flecks of pure silver shimmer across the dark blue glaes, worked into the forms of swirling runes.


"Ring that I hold
Let your value now be told"

The harmonic vibrations that your song evokes in the silvery glaes ring convey a sense of great age. At a rough estimate, the ring is worth 1 silver, but a collector of antiquities might be willing to offer a significantly greater sum.

Roundtime: 6 sec.

You sing tremblingly:

"Ring that I hold
Let your purpose now be told"

As the silvery glaes ring responds to your song, you sense echoes of ancient enchantment drifting softly through the resonances. It is difficult to say whether or not the ring is innately magical, but, if not, then it has certainly been exposed to a great deal of magical energy over an extended period of time.

Roundtime: 6 sec.

Qaatil makes a quick gesture while calling upon the powers of the elements...

[ising]>loresing ring that I hold;let your magic now be told
You sing tremblingly:

"Ring that I hold
Let your magic now be told"

The resonances of your music caress the ancient weave of enchantment within the silvery glaes ring. You recognize both spiritual and elemental components, twisted together and permanently altered into a new form -- the unmistakable taint of sorcery.

[ising]>loresing ring that I hold;let your special ability now be told
You sing tremblingly:

"Ring that I hold
Let your special ability now be told"

As you sing to the silvery glaes ring, you evoke the image of a short man with silver-streaked hair. He holds the silvery glaes ring in his hands, studying it intently. As he traces a fingertip over the runes, they flicker into life briefly with a faint green glow, and he nods his approval. He signals to a liveried servant nearby, and the servant quickly comes to take the ring away. The vision drifts away from you as your verse ends.

Roundtime: 7 sec.

"Ring that I hold
Let your value now be told"

Another vision comes -- a fleeting image of a ship's aging gangplank. Muscular human stevedores load the vessel under the wary, watchful eye of a liveried servant. The image of a silver hunting hound cradled in a white lily has been embroidered on the sleeve of his tunic. With sharp words, he orders the stevedores to take care with his master's cargo, and, as your senses narrow upon one particular coffer, you sense this silvery glaes ring lying inside, so many centuries ago.

The vision flickers away, vanishing from your mind.

Roundtime: 6 sec.

R>
[ising]>loresing ring that I hold;let your purpose now be told
You sing tremblingly:

"Ring that I hold
Let your purpose now be told"

The vibrations of the silvery glaes ring craft the image of a vast treasure room in your mind. This vision is much stronger than the image of the ship had been, for the silvery glaes ring lay there for a much greater period of time. Guttering torches shed orange light across shimmering piles of gold and gems, all carefully fenced about by a web of sorceric enchantment. You sense human figures in the room, but their presences are frail and fleeting -- they come, they gaze, they touch, but they only rarely take anything away. Only the treasure remains through the years.

The vision draws to an end.

Roundtime: 6 sec.

You sing tremblingly:

"Ring that I hold
Let your magic now be told"

The image of the treasure room coalesces once more in your mind's eye, captured by the vibrations of your song.

The torches gutter and die, and people no longer come, but the treasure endures still. There are bejeweled dishes, gilded musical instruments, ceremonial pieces of armor and weaponry, exquisite jewels with a sparkling fire sufficient to make gnomes faint, and more beyond that, but it has all left to gather dust in an age when people no longer come to admire it. In the shadowy darkness, the treasure remains, and the web of sorcery remains, for years... decades... centuries.

Your verse winds to an end, and the image fades away.

Roundtime: 6 sec.

R>
[ising]>loresing ring that I hold;let your special ability now be told
You sing tremblingly:

"Ring that I hold
Let your special ability now be told"

The harmonics from the silvery glaes ring draw you back to the treasure room, but something has changed -- the sorceric web has been damaged, and its enchantments wend over the trove in a different fashion. You sense the uneasy power of the earth, and your music brings you to comprehend that an earthquake that wrought this change, shifting the arcane balance in a small but subtle fashion.

Time passes... you sense the years marching silently past as the vision slips away.

Roundtime: 7 sec.

You sing tremblingly:

"Ring that I hold
Let your value now be told"

In the last fleeting, faint resonances from the silvery glaes ring, you see the treasure chamber a fourth time, and you sense presences in the chamber once more. They have conquered the web of sorcery and come to take the spoils, and dust billows up with every step. Somewhere in the chamber, there lies an enruned silvery glaes ring, awaiting the touch of a new owner. A new owner comes, and you feel the hands touching the ring's surface as if that surface were your skin. A wave of dizziness washes over you as the new person picks up the ring, and, in that dizziness, your verse ends.

The vision wavers away into nothingness.

Roundtime: 6 sec.

R>
[ising]>loresing ring that I hold;let your purpose now be told
You sing tremblingly:

"Ring that I hold
Let your purpose now be told"

The sense of great age returns in the resonances of the silvery glaes ring, but you can detect nothing new from the ring.

Roundtime: 6 sec.

You trace the runes upon your silvery glaes ring with a fingertip, and, as you do so, they glimmer into life with a faint amber radiance. The light vanishes after only a second.

The glaesine orb was given as a gift for some quest or event a number of years ago. It switches shows and constellations when you rub it, or whatever the activator is. Nice piece of fluff, but I think they can only be used by the original owner.

Poloneus thanks for the info...Im not a complete idiot. I honestly did not know that a gm would not sit in on this. I have been out of the lands for a long time. I have discovered by your replies that a gm overseeing anything will not be possible. I just want to make a good deal with someone. I don't want to be scammed. I don't want to scam anyone. I have not invested *Let's just go with Premium points alone on this account* 5.6 years worth of points to just have my name burn. I love this game and I have always came back to it and hope it is always around. Whatever I need to do to make sure everyone who is involved in this trade feels like it is good for both parties..then I will do it. I do not plan on being scammed though. So like I said ... Just want ot make a good deal if you have any questions or want to talk in game or something just message me on net on Berean.

Berean, here is what I would suggest and it WILL cut into your profits a little but it could possible return a higher price. It also depends on a couple factors. I have done this before and it has worked out just fine.

1. Transfer your character(s) to a new account.
2. Give control of your account with PPs to someone that has a good strong reputation.
3. Third party will update your security question and answer, and change the password and then do the PP transaction.
4. Once the transaction is complete the trusted third party gives you the new password or changes it back and then you change the security question/answer to something new.

So the primary issue is the transfer character price if you have a lot of characters that you want to play during the time period that the PP process takes. Sometimes it can be a few days, other times it can be a month. Not so bad if you only have one character, but could be cost prohibitive if you want to play many.

If you don't care about not having your account name and only have one character, you could just transfer the character to a new account and then do a account takeover to the buyer so that they can turn in their project when they want. This also means you could possibly get a higher price if that person wants to pay for premium and just wants to use your account as a nice base to get to say 7500 points or something.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Archigeek
02-27-2013, 11:35 AM
I would say that if you have a 52m bid, count it down and take it. That is a very good price for you. No point in further complicating things if you have a bid. I've never paid more than 7000 per point, and you're already north of there.

Buckwheet's process seems like a long process. Why I put myself out like this I'm not sure, but I'll escrow the money if the buyer/seller need a 3rd party, nothing in it for me, just to get it done. If silvers I'll put it on a mule, if money I'll keep it in PayPal.

Buckwheet
02-27-2013, 12:13 PM
It is a long process. But short of someone doing what you are offering to do, its the only way to keep it risk free for a buyer from an untrusted seller. If you take cash through paypal with the option of holding it, you are at risk of the buyer doing a charge back and you would get stuck holding the bill. I just don't like opening myself up to that risk level. But more power to ya! In your example the untrusted seller still gets to turn in a potentially expensive item or keep it and log out. The buyer would get their money back but still be left missing their item.

In my example its roughly 24 hours each side of the character transfer, and the buyer gets the account to submit their own item. If the costs are prohibitive(since it IS premium) and the seller is worried about someone taking characters/items off their account that is where a trusted third party comes into play. They make sure the seller doesn't have items stolen, and they also ensure the buyer the item is submitted, AND they aren't holding anyone's cash that is subject to a charge back.

If there is a charge back it happens from the buyer to the seller directly. All the third party person ensures is that the points and the expensive items are used in accordance to the agreement. From the tone of the posts here it was the seller's trust that was in question when handing over say 100m item. The only way to introduce trust then is from the seller's side, which would require a trusted third party.

If the costs are prohibitive(since it IS premium) and the seller is worried about someone taking characters/items off their account that is where a trusted third party comes into play. They make sure the seller doesn't have items stolen, and they also insure the buyer the item is submitted, AND they aren't holding anyone's cash that is subject to a charge back.

If there is a charge back it happens from the buyer to the seller directly. All the third party person ensures is that the points and the expensive items are used in accordance to the agreement.

doesn't the send as gift option prevent any chargeback?

edit: regardless, I'm just offering, details are details, I'm only willing because I don't think that either party is out to cheat each other.

If they use a credit card there is almost no way to prevent a charge back, even if they use Gift. It shows on some credit cards as "cash advance" and they can just say they did not authorize that. If they dispute through Paypal with a Gift payment then Paypal will close the case. Its if or when they go directly to the CC that it can cause a problem.

And by all means I am not saying people can't or shouldn't go out on a limb for someone. I am just explaining why doing a temporary account transfer is a secure option if the circumstances are right for the buyer, not the seller. The seller can still face a chargeback.

I'm currently the bidder. My only concern is losing my item to be worked on. There are a few things I can do before hand to ensure the points exist, and there is also the axe as collateral, which while not worth the same amount (when coupled with a completely ruined reputation for himself and his vouchers) may keep the deal on the up and up.

It is slightly disconcerning that the names listed in the original post as "vouchers" have little if any internet history, posting history here, or much presence in Elanthia as a whole. It also doesn't help that another person the seller claims as a voucher has flat out denied their ability to vouch for them. Right now I'm basically running on faith.

02-28-2013, 06:34 AM
Hmm one of the people who sang to my items and has been ginving info here has one of the biggest auction threats and a great rep on this board...so please don't diss him. He never denied saying he was vouching for me he was saying he has not known me long...that he himself will buy them and to be honest im sick of alot of the people on this board. I deserve to not be trusted because like ebay or other auction sites your bidding history is everything. I have had this account along time. I do not want to ruin my name..I don't want to start over. I started playing on this same account back when I was in 8th grade im 30 now. I already said if you need to talk whoever wins the bid and want to get to know each other and so on for a while we can do that. Talk on phone whatever its not gonna make you have 100 percent faith but there are steps we can take to make things happen. Yea alot of those items I linked are not the best....but I have a couple 7x tower shields I have the fel hafter 5x tthat has a little extra crit weighting i know for a fact that I can sell for 15-25 mil....every single item I have on is Altered for when your looking at my char and they all have an extremely long show....These items are personal to me...but they are very nice alterations....Those alterations while granted are not worth what they used to be in the past...are still going to up the value on them a good bit. I would put al of these in a container everything I own. Plus my weapons plus say a 5mil note multiple items from lockers that will sell and give that bag to a trusted third party to hold..If I screw you on your item your gonna get MY stuff. All of it every single thing that I spent 3 days staying up straight on in airship wainting in line for the next merchant to log on and racing there trying to be first. Some might say those items I linked are nothing...well to you there nothing....to me they are my character. I love those items I paid 75 dollars to get on that airship. I expect lack of faith and I deserve that...but Im not going to screw anyone over and I am sure as hell not going to be screwed over. So the All of my stuff which will end up being worth pretty much damn near what the Current bid of 52mil is well I take your one item which...I AM IMPROVING FOR YOU WITH MY 5.6 YEARS OF PREMIUM TIME 2000$ plus dolllars of my money. Well your item is the one getting improved maybe it will be something amazing already or maybe its gonna be a 7x weapon that is worth 10mil. I am putting myself on line here to. So trust me or dont trust me but I said I will make sure to do whatever I needed to do. So I would like to move pastt this. I am going to start the bid now. Slit-eye maybe you should look at Luftstreitkräfte posts he only has 576 post or something but he has had huge auctions on this sites with bids and buyouts and trades with other characters...This guy has multiple accounts a ton of high lvl chars...he has a rep....SLIT eye your basically in same boat as me..you have 160 posts...nothing on here you dont have a rep. You don't have anyone backing you so explain why your bid should count. SILE who bid 50mil I know this guy has a rep. I know he has money in the game.I don't know your char in name..your bid you sent in a private message so....yea I don't feel that great about your bid...so maybe tell me why I should trust you. MY items that a third party is going to hold for whoever wins...they mine alot to me. They are al my own personal alterations my design....so I don't do this lightly with a chance I could get screwed over...especially when I could use those points on some of those altered items and make it worth a ton of money. So why should I take your 52 bid and Not siles 50m bid. At least it seems like he has mre rep than you...he had the decency to bid on the board where the public could see and somewhat holding himself more accoutable. So right now SLIT EYE your bid of 52 mil is winning but I don't exactly feel comfortable and I almost want to go back to SILE bid. So why should I let your bid count....Who are your characters...who do you know. You can choose to get mad and do whatever you want. I honestly am not trying to be rude but im tired of being dogged all the time. So I am standing my ground and I am talking to everyone who plays this game and are on this board..I am sure I will get alot of shit from alot of people on here calling me an idiot and whatever else.I don't give two Sh**s I am done with this. I love this game I love the commmunity pff well what is left of it.....why don't yalll just give me a fricking chance to prove that I have some integrity. I need to be doubted I never had even been to this website before now. I have been away from the lands basically snice like 2004. I am a legit guy that and I will prove that...so please to all of yall just give me the chance.. I know im still gonna get alot of negative shit from people...but I know what my auctions and how I hold myself accountable will show. Can't wait to read all the crap I am going to get from alot of people because of this message. i get it just part of this game now along with the shitty people on LNET when you ask an honest question. I hope maybe I get some kinda respect from this..at least from the old gemstone players who reemever what this community used to be....we realy were something. We can be again if we don't treat every new person like a piece of dirt. I am ranting and I am ticked. I apologize, but Sliteye don't dog my friends. Draccor has a couple accounts..and he might not be on this board much...but he has max lvl chars.......Zem has been around along time. Luft has more accounts and high lvl chars than you can count and plays every night....So maybe say who the hell you are before you dog my friends.

CURRENT BID 52 Mil to SLIT EYE - Has to prove to me who he is and why he deserves to be in this auction.
BID I WANT TO TAKE RIGHT NOW: 50MIL - SILE: Because he has been respectful and at least I have seen him in game.

Just wanted to say one thing...I appreciate all the helpful advice I have gotten from Allereli's, Buckwheet, Archigeek, Luftstreitkräfte, and Sile....I hope none of yall think I was being rude to yall in my long message. Everyone has been killing my rep sending me nasty messages how im an idiot and I am going to scam people and so forth and through this whole thing yall have been helpful I have hungout with Lufts characters the past few days and we have had a blast...All of your advice has been great and I thank you for it. I just log on everyday since I posted that I was sellingthese and I have 15 private messsages on what an idiot or what this or what that....It just sucks...so I hope yall don't think that was directed at you....Now Slit eye a little was at him because he was saying my people had no rep and I am going to stick up to my friends....he only has 162 posts he bid in a private message and I dont even know his chactter name so I did question him. So again I just want to thank yall and none of that was directed at yall.....or anyone for that matter on this post that has been trying to help. Ask Luftstreitkräfte I have been pretty sad and upset about this whole thing. I truly care about where these points are going and want someone to be happy..

So thank yall. Thanks for taking the time to help. I was actually going to ask either buck or Allereli to be the third party holding the stuff.

Also sorry to everyone else who reads these boards..I know most of yall are awesome..its the few who just love to be a mean person and say mean things for no reason when I have done nothing to them. SO thanks to everyone who has just destroyed my rep and put me in the red for finally sticking up for myself....I guess that sucks. Wish yall would not have murdered my rep. Thanks to everyone who helped out and continues to help out.

If you're not happy with the facts of the situation, leave the situation. Your listed comrades don't have an Internet or Elanthian presence to speak of. The person you mentioned vouching for you said "I sang to his stuff and have known of him for a few days" and backed it up with "Not sure how that means I can vouch for him". By the way, Fel hafters were always heavily weighted, so how you've come to the conclusion that yours is extra weighted is beyond me. The items you listed don't come close to fifty million by today's standards (let alone "old school GS") and therefore don't do a good job providing a sense of security - the very reason for collateral to begin with. Your post count on these forums is in the single digits.

Now I'm not telling you all of these things to berate you. I'm trying to let you get an understanding for what the truth of the situation is with your attempt to sell off these premium points. You're welcome to throw my bid aside and go with the lower offer - it's bad merchanting and would probably cause a few more eyes to look at you funny.... but it's your right. Your best bet is to take a chill pill, and get the sale done and over with so that people can begin to see you as reputable. I don't believe your last two posts do very much to pull you in that direction. My advice is sell the points and move on, or spend the points making yourself an item worthy of selling in hopes you can come close to that bid you're throwing away.

Slit eye has a good rep on here as well. While I've never personally dealt with him. He has been involved in a lot of transactions on here. Especially as of late. And has bought pp a few times.

Post count doesn't make a person trustworthy. Not does how long they had an account, or how green / red your bubbles are. But it's a combination of this and so much more.

Here is the deal, I am going to finish the auction. If buck or Allereli's will be the third party to this, or if anyone knows a good person to be the third party person to this thing I would just like to get it over with.

I want to show the community Im an old player who is basically out of touch with this community. So I am going to run the auction. It will go as following. Going Once. Going Twice. Last Chance......SOLD. So there will be three days. On the Fourth day the winner will win the auction.

I apologize to everyone on this board..I really am decent person that felt attacked, and maybe thats more my fault instead of just going off all the bad private messages I got.

Again...I am sorry. Let's get this party started and make someone happy.

I told him I'd teach him how to sell things.. I also told him I'd do a BO on the points and work with him. Looks like he changed his mind. Offer still open though. <shrug>

I talked with him last night too. Seems sincere but I've only talked with him for a short time. I think Archigeek has the right idea, do the pp sale. Get that done. Then handle the rest of the stuff as you like. 52 mil is nothing to sneeze at. I'd also suggest you get some in game goals. That will help you focus on what you want to buy/sell/do etc.

I was not clear on your Buyout Luft. To me it looked like you had removed your post. I see it now. So drama is over auction is over. So here we go.

Luftstreitkräfte's - Wins 6200PP from Berean with BO. Guessing it will be one of your chars Qaatil, Taajir, Dero among others that will be claiming this prize.

So now all I need is a third party to hold his note and to hold my stuff while we do the trade. So I ask again will Allereli, Buckwheet, or Zelas....or if there is a person on these boards who is a normal third party person who could help us out I would love that. For going through the trouble of being the person trusted with the money and my stuff, I will give a tip of 1mil coins.

I hope after this people can start trusting me some more, and realize I have been gone 8 years and just out of touch with this community. So soon as we set up the third party holder I would like to get this trade done asap. Tonight or tomorrow if possible. Before the weekend is over. Also if prize is not claimed by monday...Slit-eye will be winning with 52m bid Going twice.

I was honoring his bid..before the buyout he had a going once...problem is luft.....You are the one who sold yourself out of the auction. You made a deal with me and you broke it. You said you did not have the silvers...and silvers were worth 10 dollars a million....so market value because I want silvers...and lets just go off of the 50m silvers...

well your own words....would mean you should pay me 500 dollars not 400. Otherwise I am fine waiting till after event and getting silvers. I am trustworthy I don't care what anyone on here says. I have mad a trade with someone on this board and I will show again by going through a third party with this that I am a good person. So give me crap fine. I don't care. My actions will speak for me. So if Slit Eye wants the bid still he has it going twice tomorrow will be last chance and then sold. Only reason it is still going on is because someone backed out.

When people were bidding on this auction of yours silvers weren't worth 10 dollars a million. That is a very recent thing. This is why people state how much they are willing to exchange silvers for when they start an auction and why they don't usually let it last 3 weeks.

I'm sure he's a great guy and all, but there's no way I would hand any of my items over to him to work on. At this point, the only way I would be buying these points would be if he moved his character to another account, made this an account takeover and had a middleman who held the silvers until the work was actually done. But then again I tend to be over cautious. 50m silvers is a nice chunk of change.

ok look...it went like this Going once to slit eye 52 mil. Then Luft Bought the Buyout...Sold to him. I did not know if Slit Eye wanted them still so I started it again, that was my bad and I admit my fault. I am new to this auction thing.

Luft bought them out....the only reason it has taken this long is because what last Friday or something is when he did the buyout...he said that Friday that Sunday would be when he would get them.

I even asked Allereli to be the third party holder..and buck.....well it took all this past week to finally get a hold of luft...and he is the one who dropped out....that's not my fault that's on him. I have the whole conversation saved and I could blast him if I wanted to....I choose not to because I am not tha type of person.

If you look through my post..I said how I would do an Auction..going once going twice...last call...sold. When sliteye was bidding he was on going once.....so I honored his bid yesterday and started with going twice...today would have been last call....Like Yall don't have to jump all over me, I am going to honor his bid, I am going to prove to each and every one of yall that yall have me pegged as something I am not. So lets get this over with.

with a 52 MIL Bid SLIT EYE WINS.. SOLLLLDDDD. Can we please do the exchange today. Al or buck or another trusted third party we can get this over with and prove once and for all that I am just new to this crap and that I have no intention at all of ever screwing anyone over.

SO AGAIN SOLD DONE OVER WITH. Only reason this stupid auction went this long is because someone else backed out not me. I should not be the stupid scape goat. Specially when the person who backed out has a sketchy reputation....just sucks. So Slit eye if your on my aim is Candack16 or message in game Berean. Congrats

Sometimes deals fall through, shit happens. He did mention he's new to the auctioning thing. At least he honored the 2nd in line for bids. Good luck with this

Also...I said I did not want cash from him. I wanted silvers. He said the ammount of silvers I would get. Its not my fault if silver prices went up or down, I don't care about that. He should have made the trade and honored his buyout the day we finalized it instead of waiting around...so thats his problem not mine. He is the one who did not honor his end. Love how I am the one who is the bad guy. Its like this is a joke. Auction lasted this long because of someone else. Not me.

You do not know me. I have already said that I would have a third party hold his note. Hold all of my stuff. Also if it came down to it I would let someone else get on my account and do the alteration. It is going to be someone I trust though and that everyone in this game knows. I have done nothing to anyone. So everyone just treats me like crap. Its great. Like i said I will show that when this is done I am an honorable person. Why don't yall all just take a breath and give me a chance. This crap was not my fault. It was the fault of soeomeone else falling out of the auction.

This. I kept telling him to update it. I was like "If you have a 52m bid, take it, update the auction daily, get your $ bro."


Luft.....your full of crap. Like seriously. No wonder you have such a horrible rep in game. Jesus all of this is your fault. YOU. You BO last friday wait till yesterday to tell me...ehhhh nevermind...i mean come on dude.

All week keep getting messages on aim from you..still looking for right item still looking. Bull sh## I was not going to rip you. I was gonna take high road even though I was ticked. Your the oone who has dragged this crap on. Love how you make me look like the bad guy when your the one who held this whole thing up. If anyone should be mad at anyone its you.

Im not the second in line with bids. I was the bid winner until everyone seemed to have mental breakdowns. To go back to "going twice" at this point is rather insulting. And now to hear you say youll take another couple days on it Berean? Lets not get greedy. Your rep is getting pretty soiled.

Slit-eye I honored your bid. We were at Going Once...I never ever typed Sold to you. You were leading in bids...it was the very next day I said the order how I would do things....Luft bought it out....so when i honored your bid...at going oce I posted yesterday going twice to you. So i am sorry for the misunderstanding. You are the winner its done with. So can we please do this today? Also my rep is getting soiled by a bunch of people who have no idea who i am. Im a good guy you will see when this is over. Everyone else will eat crow its all good. So lets get together and finish all this and make you a great item.

My actions will speak for me.

They have, and even for a massive Premium Point bid being run by a very new poster, they have not spoken well. Inconsistant prices and auction rules, misleading comments, shady guarantees, flip-flopping between buyers and ignoring higher bids, and dragging out this auction for an incredibly long time. Even if you are 100% trustworthy, you do not seem to be 100% competant, and at this point, I would not feel comfortable trusting you to handle a purchase of this magnitude, for all I know, you might screw up the premium point purchase and still demand I pay you.

Also, saying "just trust me and you will see" gives no credit whatsoever. Anyone can say that the moment before they rip you off for half a grand.


I have done nothing to anyone. So everyone just treats me like crap. Its great. Like i said I will show that when this is done I am an honorable person. Why don't yall all just take a breath and give me a chance.

You have been pretty shady in this deal already, and between flip-floping between buyers and dragging this out way to long, you have inconvenienced buyers who basically admitted they were making this purchase partly because you were in a tough situation and no one else would do it. Your "chance" was a week ago. Luft backing out shouldn't have set you back this much, and I sure as hell don't blame him for it.



Post 1:that's not my fault that's on him. I have the whole conversation saved and I could blast him if I wanted to....I choose not to because I am not tha type of person.

First off, learn to multiquote. Six consecutive posts to different posters . . . in a half hour too.

Also, we get it. You refuse to accept responsibility, and want to blame Luft. Is Luft at fault for backing out? I don't know, maybe. I also think this is a pretty crappy auction and think its pretty fair to do so. You have handled this situation in a very unprofessional manner. A few days delay doesn't change that fact. A slight delay due to Luft is hardly the only issue in question here.

We also don't need to know "who you are" to know that this was a very poorly run auction and you respond to constructive criticism in a very hostile fashion.
