You would think someone that owns a 900mil item would have a more impressive account

Some people aren't into flashy shit like trophies or custom userlookups.

Has anybody actually put up an auction bid, anybody among us?

If anyone had, I'd recommend they NOT say so.

[Information]

A simple yes, can't harm anyone. Can it, anyhow, I haven't incase anybody was wondering. Unless you were serious about buying it, you're only helping it reach the desired price which is something in the millions, apparently.

Of course, who hasn't?

Can't win what you don't bid on

[Eliam]

I see zero point in bidding early on auctions, as it only raises the price. Someone care to explain? I mean, I guess you could reach a point where you outbid a lot of people, but...

[Scot]

Most people are just bidding to "tag" it so they can go back to it easily. The rest want to raise the price so people with lesser np won't be able to bid.

That was the only thing that occurred to me.

The person should have made a higher bid increment on the pea since now it is likely that it won't sell for that much

[sharkbng]

It will probably end up going for the market price. People arent going to bid the high amounts until the end.

Err it wasn't the bid increment that was the problem it was the starting point . . . max bid increment is 5000

It will probably end up going for the market price. People arent going to bid the high amounts until the end.

. . . Do you know how many bids it will take to go up to 500 million+ which is the market price for attack peas? 100,000 bids at least . . .


The BDC is going crazy . . . a lot of people are saying that the seller's lookup has a CGer . . . I'm like O.O

P.S. the 500 mil part is the last time I saw an attack pea sold so my information on how much it costs may be inaccurate.

But you know there is also snarkie, which can bid 1bil at any point she wants.

[emerkeng]

Hopefully when it goes down to 30min-2hours everybody will start bidding . . .

I mean the person has a size 5 shop, some rather normal looking pets and barely any trophies. How did they earn their NP anyway to have such an expensive item? Something seems extremely fishy here

where are you coming up with all this info?

i wonder what the price would actually go up to...

ps. im thoroughly enjoying the bdc flipping out over this. it is quite entertaining.

IDK but just looking at the player's account it doesn't look like they could afford it because attack peas were expensive even when they were first released.

where are you coming up with all this info?

He's making shit up . . .

i knew that much. i was just trying to figure out where he is pulling this shit out of the air from. hahaha

[sharkbng]

Because ive been told that snarkie has before bidded 1bil on an auction. Could be false but have heard it a lot on the neoboards.

Edited by sharkbng, 03 August 2010 - 10:40 PM.

[Ambition]

20 million is the max amount you can bid on an auction lot. Placing any attack pea in the auctions is underpricing it.

[sharkbng]

Okay so what ive heard in the neoboards a lot recently is that sometime in the past Snarkie, a neopets programmer, bidded 1bil on some item in the auctions. Yes i know 20mil is the max, but shes a programmer so she doesnt have rules haha.

But this is all just rumors, could easily be false

[Scot]

20 mil is not the max bid. It's the max starting bid because you can only start with 10 mil and have 10 mil increments. The auction price will go as high as people are willing to bid.

thats what i thought too. but it doesn't seem to be increasing too fast so i doubt it will go that high. but you never know. it is possible. and people could start bidding like crazy. too bad i sold like all my pure so i can't try my luck there.. although it may not be legit but it would stlll be fun to try.
