ill bid 3 bars of gold. i could probably offer a buyout price if you are willing to negotiate.
thank u for consideration.

I have a felling you're some gank alt.
but i could be wrong, anyways you're offering pretty much 60 pearls for it

each gold bar is 1000 pts (100 pts a nugget)

i definitely am not from any gang. My IGN is Pupse and i live in a friendly development town. I do trade a lot but localy only cant seem to geather enough of stuf to post the trade thread here on forum because i sell everything i make to the people i know in game and locally. anyone who knows me in game will never find a bad word about me. anyhow we have just set up a trade-depot on this world. and i will write a post as soon as i feel i have enough of things to actually be able to sell something through the forum and not directly to them people i know in game.

also some people dont consider gold as valued at 100pts they think its way overpriced, but however 3 bars is my offer as it stands for now. its an auction right?

I understand but...isn't that an auction?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auction

English auction, also known as an open ascending price auction. This type of auction is arguably the most common form of auction in use today. Participants bid openly against one another, with each subsequent bid required to be higher than the previous bid. An auctioneer may announce prices, bidders may call out their bids themselves (or have a proxy call out a bid on their behalf), or bids may be submitted electronically with the highest current bid publicly displayed. In some cases a maximum bid might be left with the auctioneer, who may bid on behalf of the bidder according to the bidder's instructions. The auction ends when no participant is willing to bid further, at which point the highest bidder pays their bid. Alternatively, if the seller has set a minimum sale price in advance (the 'reserve' price) and the final bid does not reach that price the item remains unsold. Sometimes the auctioneer sets a minimum amount by which the next bid must exceed the current highest bid. The most significant distinguishing factor of this auction type is that the current highest bid is always available to potential bidders.

I can't say that I'm an expert in auctioning, but that did not say that I MUST set reserve price or anything else. Starting bid is enough.

Erm, trade topic says that I want to sell bone for pearls, not gold. Sadly, gold is not freely convertible currency in this game. Every trader makes his own exchange rate, not every trader accept gold. Pearls, on the contrary, accepted by almost any trader, and have stable exchange rate. And we can't tell is bid in pearls is higher than bid in gold, while we don't know how many pearls one gold bar cost.

yeah but you dont understand what STARTING bid means. it does not mean "this is how much i want for it", thats what reserve price means though.


edit: also, 1 gold bar is 20 pearls in value. it doesnt fluctuate as much as you seem to think.

I want no less than 35 pearls, starting bid == reserve price. Why wouldn't I name it like this? But it's not that important, i think.

About gold, if you think so, it's easy. Go to random trader, change your gold bars into pearls for 20 pearls per bar, make a bid. Our village do not need gold now, we need pearls, why would we accept gold?

if you want the starting bid to be the value, why dont you just put it for sale at that price instead of trying to auction it? making the starting price the value of the item is just one of the most baffling things ive seen today.

Even if that's the case, that thread adds up slightly more drama to the forums
