Dear Entropians...
Many of you know me for the petition man :p
Is true im here again to aplly for more 30 items auction...

If you are a crafter is too hard to put all your crafted stuff in auction our a good hunter even miner 30 items is not enough for a midlle level player ...

If you think the same post our leave your name if not post too :yay:
 
30 items ore just 2 pages is just right! I dont want people to fload the auction with like more than 3 pages of tt shitt and others.

Sorry, but I have to agree with this.
 
instead of more then 30 items, more items in a single auction could do the trick too.
for example you want to sell a complete armor and not all items separately.
or sell a compete outfit (pants, shirt and shoes)

What that guy said! :)
 
if you are serious, there are shop opened for business.
Auction is a nice tool but a crafter can sell more in his store if he advertize it properly or word of mouth.
 
I think higher auction limit would be great.

Reason being... people who want more items generally just use alts anyways, which is lame and many of us rather not have to do that.

Who cares if they load up the auction full of TT crap, we have filters/search function now.... more PED in MA's pockets, in which case hopefully they can spare some extra to the players.

I rarely need 30 these days, but when I use to craft/trade a lot I used 30 most days.
 
Get a shop. Most shops have a minimum of 50 item slots... monthly fee on those shops, if they are in Genesis, Sakura, Omegaton, etc. are only 12 peds a month... Take that .50 fee in the auction x 24 and you have the same amount... so once you do own a shop it'll only cost you monthly the same amount it'd cost you to run 24 items through auction a month.... so if you are selling over 30 items at a time, it's actually cheaper for you to own a shop. Plus, the shop is online 24/7 for an entire month when you do pay that fee, and that's the only overhead cost you have... with auction, if you paid to put 30 items up at a time it'd cost you a minimum of .50x30 = 15 ped just for 7 days, not 30 days. To get the same value as the shop and run it for 4 weeks that'd cost you 15x4=60 ped, and no guarantee anyone will bid... with the shop if no one buys, you can just yank the non selling stuff and put in stuff that will sell. Do you really want to pay 60 peds a month to run the 30 items through there for a month or just pay 12 ped a month to have 50 or more items available at any time?

--edit--
Edit - if they do add more items to auction, hopefully they'll also add more item slots to all shops at an equal rate to the number of new item slots they are giving everyone to what they are putting in the auction, and "balance" it out by making all items in every shop/shopkeeper also appear in the auction for "free" if the estate's monthly fee is paid up.

Yes please, I need more space to auction stuff.

Also maybe is time to put a tax for those who sell items crafted by someone else, the crafters should be encouraged, not resellers.
Also some rep system can be introduced, so those people that give good deals can get more space in auction.
 
Cool idea. Would also mean more ped for MA from auction fee and more variety in auction.

Resellers are good for a healthy economy. They keep liquidity in the system.

It`s always good to have someone there safeguarding and preventing your items for selling for ridiculously low prices.
If you`re selling an item and reseller buys it and tries to flip it for profit, it means either reseller made a bad move and will take losses or that you sold your item too cheap. Either way you win cos you got your money and without reseller might have not been someone there for you to buy your item, at least not as fast and instead of 1-2 days you might have waited 3-4 and kept your money locked away.

Just check the role daytraders play for example in RL.

very agreed with
 
Nothing wrong with resellers.... problem with them is when uninformed people use them :D.

Generally its not worth the time or effort to sell 5ped of belk on auction, so you sell to a trader for discounted rate, he then tries to stack it with other stacks he buys and sells for a profit for time/investment. Each trader will have different profit margins, the best trader is the one that pays you the best obviously :D, thats for each to find.


Its a win win though, people buy @ price that is being offered... then the person who buys will resell @ a price that is offered... and in the end if all goes well... another person will buy that @ the price listed. Sure the best system would be that you cut out the middle guy and split the profit/savings to each on the ends... but that fact is crafters dont want to sit in twin and deal with that crap (most the time).

Also, people who hate/dislike resellers I dont understand.... we all buy coke dont we from an establishment that isn't coke owned/operated? I hate buying coke from a restaurant for $2-$3 a refillable glass, when that buys me maybe 2 2L bottles at a grocery store, and maybe even more if I went straight to coke.

Or the worse... buying alcohol from a restaurant.... where 1 bottle will cost $4-$6.... where they bought it from the liquor stores @ $10-$13/6... who got it from the distillery/brewery for even lower.
 
As a Armor plate crafter I really am desperate for more slots, I have several bps I can't even click due to lack of slots.

I would even be willing to pay 2000 peds for 10 more slots, similar to shop upgrades. I would prob be willing to do that a few times.

Either way, I think armor and armor plates should be allowed to be sold in sets (so you only need 1 slot not 7) and maybe allow for box lot auctions? why not let people throw a pile of items into one auction. This would be fun and a great way to sell off all those short stack odds and ends.

And while talking about auction updates, I really like to see L item orders return with minimum and maximum TT limits.
For instance I could order a Korss 400 for 110% with tt levels of 50-177 or an Empty Skill implant for 550% with a TT of 10-20 peds etc

Also they need to fix the order for explosives so you can order more then a few ped tt as it is right now. Ordering by tt amount instead of by explosive unit makes much more sense since they are now 1/1000 of a pec each.
 
For once, I agree with you, more auction slots are needed.
We've seen a massive increase in itemdrops (tiering, new vehicles, new MF chips) but strg room or auction slots don't go up.
When I come down from cp, I'm pretty sure my auction spaces are fully loaded for at least 48 hours.
Wich means, I don't go back up till I had the chance to list everything.
 
I do not have a problem with resellers in general, and I even use some of them when I have low MU items to sell. But I am against 30 more slots in auction as I think it gives more ability to "market manipulators" which is a very different thing.
 
Ever since I started crafting enhancers, I got confronted with the 30-item limit in auction. So you definately have my vote for this !

PS : To comment on some people in this thread : I do have a shop (see signature), but I have noticed that auction sells much much easier...
 
Yea, more slots is needed, it happens now and the I used up all slots, and that sucks.
Enhancers fill the slots up fast:(
