I never said they won't.

My point is that *I PERSONALLY* find p99auctions helpful for making money in EC flipping stuff.

That's all.

This is all silly anyway. Items don't have a 'correct price'. The price of an item has nothing to do with what people have recently auctioned it for.

On the buying side, if you see an item auctioned and you want it at that price, then buy it. If you think it's too expensive, then don't buy it. That's all there is to it.

On the selling side, if you are having trouble selling your item, lower the price. If you can sell it at your price, then don't lower it. If in your opinion it sells too fast, raise it.

There is no other determinant of value than what someone pays for something. The reason sellers like a pricing source is they can use it to browbeat the sellers by trying to insist there's some kind of known 'fair price'. There is no such thing.

Sounds like TunnelQuest will become much harder.

Has to be one of the resellers in EC. Look into it.

Isn't it obvious that the real culprit is the guy who ran ahungry? The guy put ads on his site to make some money off p99 and got his lunch eaten by the vastly superior p99 auctions site. Now he's back as the clear #1.

Perhaps, Ahungry is just the unwilling beneficiary of p99 auctions demise? Just pure luck, it happens man. Take that hat off it's a bad look for you! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There is no proof of that, but it was my first thought too. The ahungry site is an important enough source of income for the creator that he attempts to block anyone that uses the site with an ad-blocker, and I'm sure the traffic entirely disappeared once p99auctions opened up.

Either way, it'll be a good case for Braknar, you know whoever invested in bringing down p99actions is doing so because they will benefit financially one way or another.

I guess I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was tristantio that did it, but only because the dude has done some pretty questionable things in the past.
