Who hurt you?

Why not wait a minute or two after using /auction to see if someone responds?

Happens far too much when I send a tell to buy something and the auctioneer has logged off.

Right up there with the people who refuse to lower their price by 1 or 2k plat when selling a 50k+ item to the point where they are still advertising it at that price 3 or 4 months later when noone is biting.

Y u no bargain?

Probably just trying to get it as an entry into the EQ Tunnel discord where it records all of that. Then people can go back through and see who was selling it, etc.

You sound extremely upset for something very trivial

Not surprised you're a player on Green

What a weird (and wrong) assumption.

Because they bought the item for 1-2k from someone they bargained with.

Gotta sell at a price that the market will bear. Them's the breaks, son.

Problem is someone will always buy it eventually. So if you’re a tunnel cat sitting there auctioning and that’s what you do with your time there’s no reason for you to drop the price no matter how long it takes. People drop the price because they just want to get what they can and get out of there. Tunnelquesters don’t have anything else to do

If the seller gets 3 tells they probably realized they're selling it too cheap, particularly if the buyers names are "Walmartt", "Ectrader" and names like that.

Yes, I have noticed this trend. I remember back when the arch-villains of tunnel-questing were Caros, Deals, Boutik, etc.

Price manipulation is a real thing. If the price is significantly lower or higher that could be an answer if you’re even looking for one. Tunnel dwellers been manipulating prices on the trackers since trackers have been a thing.

If enough people do this the tracker will reflect this and people will get these reasonable prices.

They are logging around multiple traders and manipulating prices through auction logs. It's extremely fucking annoying when it happens to you.

The auction tracker is the most inaccurate part of the wiki in my opinion.

I guess better than not having it though. While people certainly manipulate it, but I’m guessing people would try and price gouge on unsuspecting buyers way more than they currently do
