If you are bothered your deeds won't get sold, why don't you put a 1000 Ped startbid and 2040 PED buyout ?
If not, what do you call normal business ?
It the perfect example of making it impossible for other to do normal business!
Same as I stand in front of your face when hunting.
Ahhh... so you want to do a buisness here but cant and pissed off now? Welcome to capitalism, where persons who have more money, time and brains - have more profit and rights.
im kinda wondering... he buys at 1991 peds and sells at 2038 or even below... his min bid is his buyout so each auction takes what? 45 peds fee? that sounds like an aweful lot of work for an aweful low amount of profit and when you consider that the total price for clds might go down meaning that some of his underbid sales dont sell at all then he is looking at quite some risk for very low profit. doesnt seem smart to me

Using alternative trade channels is possible the same as I can say to you can hunt somewhere else but not in this spot!
And besides, why should I be FORCED to use other trade channels?
Thats simply against rule 8 in the EULA.
I have nothing against resellers, but this guy just takes in to extreme and totally claims all CLD sales at the auction.
This one guy forces the entire playerbase to work around his way of dealing on auction.
How can that be correct?
People will do anything even for the odd pec. Probably doing better than sweating. I can understand why Wizz is pissed, but it how AH work. This type of thing is grey area, that only MA will decide if this right. There has been rumors of bans of late for AH manipulation, so who report if he think his fishy.
So if you undercut him, that's fine. But if he undercuts you, it's market manipulation. Got it.
well, it's not an awfull lot of work.
It's just a few clicks on auction, and it surely makes a whole lot more than sweating!
And if he does it from his mobile it's just damn easy for him!
If nobody disturbs him he indeed makes around 40 ped per deed.
My estimate he sells at least 5 deeds average per day.
so making 200 ped daily. Thats 6000 ped per month.
Add to that the ped he makes with the same trick on the imp ares rings.
And other items he trades in.
So he's actually dong quite well.
That why he doesnt bother placing order after order, and offer after offer.
He must be making MA a lot of money in auction fees, not only his fees but also the fees from others trying to sell their deeds through offers.
actually when he buys em at roughly 1990 peds and sells em for roughly 2040 and the fee is 45 peds then he just makes 5 peds per deed. or how much is the fee for deeds? didnt have one in inventory so i checked with a low tt item and that showed me roughly 45 peds fee
This is more than the odd conspiracy theory, auction manipulation is against the rules, and if reported, will be investigated. Its not fair if someone has the time and resources to screw up the auction. This person will get caught out. Anyone rememeber Wirlo?
Now, am I just being paranoid or is just just fishy?
It's surprising so many players seem to be defending his actions here.
His avatar seems to be created purely for this task
His name fits the job and he never globalled on anything.
He seems so have made it his job.
The thing is that proof is impossible to obtain from the outside. Only MA has the ability to substantiate proof from their databases. All you can do is collect suspicious evidence and submit it to them. Sometimes you may feel the need to bounce it off the public to validate it, and this is where the conflict with forum rules arises. That the forum rule exists because some people tend to go off the rails with accusations all too easily and hurt innocent people doesn't make the quagmire go away.If there was proof, send it to MA and that will get the avatar(s) banned, etc, which will also solve the problem.
Until that happens, the avatar is innocent.
There is a reason naming and shaming isn't allowed on the forum's.
He work like that with AUD too.
You sell AUD in auction, you'll see the same amount of you minus 1ped. You put an order, you'll see another order (quantity 30 for 24h) with some more pec.
As i saw, there is 2 avatar with this trick.
true...but you kinda not see the whole picture...
Those 2 or 3 guys LIVE here in EU....they WORK here like an RL job..always or mostly online with pc or app...and ALWAYS looking if something changed...
if 1 new "competitor" enters the oder/buying things...then he counters...thats his job...sry..but thats it...
i saw bidding of him and wizz...and he won bec of 1 ped....lol
so they are always present in order and bidding in real time...
if you brosw the auction you see the offers from him like +1900 ending in some hours..and new ones with like +1850 ending in some days..
therefore the order on auc from him is like +17xx......theats the "normal" cycle when you have "unlimited"peds...
a normal buyer/seller doesnt have to compete...he sell to the actual price or buys it...
But a "middle" trader has no chance for the professionals...thats also why some are mad about it..as you can see in other threads and here...
but thats a like a professional behaviour like in RL...offer,demand,market,availability..etc
Maybe but i am betting he uses a bot for auction orders
