Just started getting into making gold from the AH. Am I understanding this correctly…
If there are 100 items listed at 50g, and I put up 50 of the same item at the SAME PRICE, the next person who buys that item will get MY stuff first?
Something seems…wrong with that.
yes first in last out
unless you undercut
not really potions tend to sell fast
As crazy as it sounds, for most materials and consumables on the ah this doesn’t actually make much difference. It does give you a bit of power if you are aggressively relisting auctions, but if you’re the type to just list once per day things usually move anyway.
Correct
Does seem odd, but eliminates the need to undercut.
Would you prefer people undercut you by a cp instead it being the same price?
It’s cheapest first unless the buyer scrolls down the list and deliberately pays more for buyouts.
Because they’re cheaper than the mats used to make them and I know that’s because of experimentation byproduct.
you dont need to make some of them the lvl ones from boxes and bags sell for some odd reason
Auction house is the same rules as me for house parties. Last in first out
[chuckles in undercutting the competition]
I think, yes, I would rather that be the case. So I have 5000 of something sitting on the AH for 47 hours and someone comes along and puts up another 5000 of them at the same price… But THEIR 5000 goes first and mine get returned (and I’m out the deposit)?
A rank one corrupting rage is listed always for less than half a rank 3s price. It’s a steal. The CRIT différence between them is not that severe. The only rank threes I ever buy are tepid. I buy rank twos
I never undercut. No-one wins a race to the bottom.
All my stuff sells nearly instantly anyway, So I’ve never had a need to undercut.
Nevertheless, thank you.
It’s to discourage frantic undercutting, I think.
If you undercut by 1g i dont think its gonna hurt your bank
It has the end effect of undercutting without actually doing it. Before, you’d put up your stuff for 1c cheaper and it’d be the first to go. Now we skip the undercutting step.
It’s more like a stack than a queue, but a stack is LIFO. It SHOULD be First-In-First-Out, but it’s not. Whoever puts an item up at the current price is at the front of the line. Whoever undercuts makes a new line.
At least for high-volume items (e.g., stuff that is region-wide rather than server-specific), it should just be automated FIFO pricing like the WoW token is; guaranteed sale in X hours, but price is based on algorithm-determined imbalance of supply/demand queues.
probably to stop the need to undercut, Id think.
Either way both created an environment where you have to sit at the AH all day relisting if you really wanted to keep your stuff front of the line.
I don’t undercut unless the price is rediculous. For example, a white 2 silver vendor sold item for 3,999 gold, I’ll put in for 9 bid and 99 buyout.
I will also pay a few gold extra to buy the older item, or pay extra to buy from the person with the best name.
