People who think that p99auctions was helping tunnelquesters...lol. Tunnelquesting is all about arbitrage/differing levels of information. Was the info on p99auctions 100% accurate 100% of the time? No, but this is was a great source of information that was lost, especially helpful for people who aren't in the tunnel all day monitoring prices.
Could people skew auctions by auctioning fake prices? Yeah, but from what I saw this wasn't too common. Even so, it would skew the avg price but I'd usually just look for the lowest price that someone was WTS at (If Canni IV had an avg price of 22k, but you saw auctions at 14k and up to 27k...you can figure out what's happening.) Usually the people trying to screw you don't advertise prices, and 99% of the time someone told me that the auction sites prices weren't accurate, they were trying to screw me. A sad day IMO
