Rumi Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Will you give your values for sharptear and nutcracker? If nutcracker is a little more than 3gc, then my sharptear would have to be near worthless (which it may well be) to be outbid by DD. Same with my hug In fact, if you're accepting creatures, is it reasonable to post a current price list at the bottom of the original post each month? Maebius' offer with nutcracker last month the me for a bit of a loop. I decided to wait to see if you would accept and accidentally missed the rest of the auction. I'm still a little confused how you accepted half a nutcracker for payment, but I'm happy for (and maybe a little envious of) Maebius getting a sweet deal. Thanks for clarification.
Esmaralda Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 I agree, I would like to continue to bid but I am unsure of where we stand value wise so I'm not sure what the next bid should be.

Fire Starter Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Posted January 16, 2013 Hmmm, a hug! Tempting enough
Fire Starter Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Posted January 17, 2013 This is what I have in mind: Now, let me state something - it's up to us to determine the value of something like creatures, or else, put in a bid, out of the normal currencies, who are used in this realm. So, whoever is stating an exact value of something else than coins or currency notes, might end up disappointed in our decision. But it's up to us to accept the bid, so it's up to us to determine the total value. Also, something I will add in the rules - we won't accept such creatures as the common one in the shop, aside the rustgold drachorn and the others, which appear only on special occasions, meaning no Pimps, Imps, Jokers, Sharptears or BP Archers would be taken as a serious bid. Everything else in this matter, that we come across in the future will be reevaluated accordingly.
DARK DEMON Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]But then if anyone bids creatures, and if only you will evaluate the price, how do we know who's in the lead, and how much the next person has to bid? It'll have to be constantly updated as to who's in the lead, cause there might be someone who thinks he's won it but is then told he lost, although he would have bid higher again if he had known.[/color][/font]
Pipstickz Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 [quote] [color=#a52a2a][size=5][font=Arial][background=transparent](Winning will be the last bid, placed 24 hours after the previous one, [/background][/font][/size][/color] [color=#a52a2a][size=5][font=Arial][background=transparent]but no more than 3 days after [/background][/font][/size][/color][color=#a52a2a][size=5][font=Arial][background=transparent]the end of the Auction[/background][/font][/size][/color][color=#a52a2a][size=5][font=Arial][background=transparent].[/background][/font][/size][/color]) [/quote] There is lots of time for discussion. If you are unsure of the value of someone's bid, simply post "I am willing to bid higher" or something similar.
Fire Starter Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Posted January 18, 2013 Ummm... Presactly what Pipstickz said. Since there are no exact trade values for creatures, items, etc., around the ending of the Auction there is enough time to refine it with the top bidders.
Peace Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 [font=comic sans ms,cursive]So, may I ask what is the highest accepted bid so far in this auction?[/font]
