Rats!  I put a lot of stuff up for auction in ART yesterday and nothing has sold.  I checked and NONE of my items have the "Bid" button or the "Buyout" button!  The clock is counting down so I guess everything will be returned to me at the end of the 24 hours.  I wonder if there's a fee for listing at auction (ther4e is that extra button).  I spent quite a bit of time listing all that stuff too. < heavy sigh>

I just bought 4 things from you, lilyr.  You won't get rich from my purchases, though.

Thanks for telling me you WERE able to buy things Tirama.  Usually whatever I post is snapped up.

Due to Daylight Saving Time starting in the United States, you may be 1 hour out of synch with your usual buyers.  Nobody showed up to buy my junk at the usual time, so I tried 1 hour later and there was the usual feeding frenzy.
 

I'm amazed that any of the junk sells.  Most people who do the auctions have all their auction achievements.  Most of the people buying from me I've seen since I started playing the game, so they should have completed their 100 Bronze and 100 Silver sets achievements. 

So what are they planning to do with this stuff?  There's tons of it out there, so there's no real profit to be made reselling this stuff.  I could have bought plenty of junk for a coin each, but what's the point?  To make a profit of 4-9 coins?

I did manage to find a few items to resell, but most of what I bought was for me.  This is the 6th day I've been selling the same junk.  Considering I do two sessions, one in the early afternoon and one in the evening, I've probably sold 1,000 pieces of junk and that's a low estimate.  And I still have more than 100 of some items.

I'm still waiting to customize. If I spend my money, there's sure to be a sale on food or keepsakes or something.

Not doing a junk sale today.  It looks like people have finally realized that they can't resell the stuff and make enough of a profit to make it worthwhile.  Selling some good stuff.  It's finally worth the effort to sell Mary Janes, and all those bargain Pashminas have finally disappeared, allowing me to charge 5,000 coins and get it.  I'll need to play mini games later and replenish my stock.  Still collecting Cameos, but getting pretty tired of Capt Matthew's yacht.
