[Sold] SOLD WAS NOT AN AUCTION

The unrealistic market price is because of the bid war you participated in, just saying~
well, i m willing to pay up to 75m premium for THAT particular ww but that doesnt mean i m willing to bid any ww to 200m or this is the new mkt price. but again, looks like the other trade will fall apart so that isn't going to be the benchmark.

Well I lost out on the last one and although I would like to get one of these, I don't want to be responsible for driving up their market price. I just wanted a really nice one. I mean Neton said he would pay 75M and I would really like this so what should I do? Well, I will put up 80M.
I bid 80M.

@Toranaga i said i pay up to 75m PREMIUM and "PREMIUM" means market price + 75M. for example, if the market price is 125m, then i would pay 200m for it which includes 75m PREMIUM.

also, why u keep saying u lost out on the other ww trade? the seller will relist the pet for sale and if u keep the same bid of 210m, you should be the highest bidder and likely to win the pet. of course, unless u back out your bid, thats a different story.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I am kinda new at this. I just see a pet I like, bid, and pay so if there are some rules other than the ones the site states then I apologize for the mixup. I have said over and over and over I would pay the price I last bid on and told him he has until Sunday to decide. He keeps relisting the pet at 50M increments for buyout. To me, that is totally unfair. He had a more than reasonable offer. To pull the auction and raise the price not once but twice and at an amount that is almost ridiculous to many, is something I would think fair dealers and traders would frown upon. I was not the one backing out and if not for people saying things that were not true and totally unwarranted, unfounded, and just spiteful, I would have that pet now in my stable.
Ok can I ask a fair question. What would be a fair starting bid on this WW? It's not as nice as the other so I don't know how much I am willing to go but if the other seller goes through and I win this one, then I will 2 nice pets.

honestly, i dont care about the starting bid because it should reach the market price, eventually. but if it doesnt, i m sure someone would jump in a bid it up.

for the other trade, if the seller changes the increment to 50m, i m sure i would not participate.

I keep saying I lost out because I placed the highest bid fair and square and now the price has gone up 2 times. I asked him to sell it to me for my bid price but for some reason he wants more. Anyways, I played by the rules and have given him a chance to take my good faith offer by Sunday. If he relists, I won't bid which means he just lost out on that great deal. I am not going to keep bidding for a pet, win the thing, then have to redo it cause he wants more. Anyways, as for this one, I said 80M and will stick to it. Like you said, it will probably go higher and that is fine.

220mill that you bid is 140mill premium of standard prices. But since the price is that now .

Well you will see that many will want to sell their WW now.

@Toranaga i think you should attach the screenshot of your conversation with the seller proving him refusing to sell you the ww at 210m, the price you bid for. because now, you are accusing the seller @Cutter not honoring the trade.

separately, if other pp ww owners think this is the new market price, they are welcome to dream on.

You don't need that. I have said many times in this post I AM WILLING TO HONOR MY PRICE BID OF 220M TODAY. He asks me if I retract my bid and as you can see from my answer, I was willing to stick with it even when everyone on that thread starting retracting and making a big deal about the price. So as you can see, I was willing to pay the 220M. I gave him some advice that might help prevent these kinds of things and he decided to relist the auction. You can see for yourself in the threads I said I would pay the 220M even after he relisted for 300M then 350M. Do you not see a problem with that? You know something, forget it. I just got on this site to bid and get some nice pets to play with in the game. I don't need this trial of my honor and frankly, no one in this site has a right to do it. I have lived up to my bids and paid for my wins. Have I not? SO what is the problem here. I am totally over it but as you see that I did not retract my bid and was willing to honor my price before he decided to relist it. Relisting it after I said I would buy it at my bid price means what to you? Oh you all are not pushing me off this site. I wonder what would have happened if I stopped my bid and let the last bidder become the highest. I bet he would be riding it now.

I don't see his offer on this or did he take the buyout price? Since this was a OBO, I should have been given a chance to counter the offer unless my gold is no longer good on this site.
