Guild Wars 2

Case in point: Evon Gnashblade Representation Buttons. That poor (or rich) charr lost the election. His ill advised supporters must have dumped thousands of these into the marketplace. Yet, the current selling price is 4s79c. Now comes the interesting part.

I despise that fool and his tax, so earlier in the week when some sellers did the reasonable thing of selling below 1s, I bought out all the low-priced stock and systematically destroyed them (except for one, but that goes on my charr loving succubus because that’s how she rolls). I then thought about it and put in a reasonable buy order for 50c (probably still over-valued, but I’m throwing his supporters a bone here).

Not 12 hours go by or someone outbids me by 50% with a similar sized order. So I dump the few units I managed to get (seems like Evon supporters are a proud lot and won’t sell a worthless item for 50c) on this person, and use the profit to outbid by 1c on a small order (I figure I’ll still get to destroy them when this order comes in and I wanna now see where this goes).

Not 12 hours go by or I’m outbid again. Do people honestly flip or want to flip worthless items like this? Do the clever flippers ever invest in pet projects like this just for the giggles?

People buy that because Evon is so cool.

Yep, it seems bot accounts are randomly storing stuff up.

Yesterday I flogged a bunch of breathing mask skins I’d put up for high prices ages ago.
