Does anyone know why someone is reselling the new Queen Bed Customisable (C) for a fraction of its cost to craft? This is not a "boohoo markup" thread. I'm not personally selling this bed (though I did discover it). There has been some targeted harassment lately in the furniture department, and I'd like to know if the same character is behind this odd market behavior as well.
The item is new, level 7, expensive to make, and limited in quantity. There have been 2 legitimate sales of the bed that I know of, plus 6 fake sales. I say fake because the MU is extremely low, ranging from 12 peds to 72 peds, far below cost to craft. To try and catch these underpriced beds, I put up orders to buy @ +100, and hours after they expired the player started selling more again at the low price.
I have not been able to catch the auctions while they're up, so I don't know who is doing it. I suspect they're using an alt to rebuy so they don't actually lose the MU, since again they are selling far below the cost to craft and refused to sell to my higher order. So far, the motive for this market manipulation is unclear to me... is it to harass a particular seller or does this individual just hate Toulan furniture?
Finding out who is doing it is obviously the first step in understanding what's going on. If you saw any of these auctions, please PM me the name privately. Or post any other non-identifying details here. Thanks!
