Second time it happened that TP automatically listed my ectoplasm for 3 silvers. Before I saw it I didn’t have time to react, because it always happens when selling really fast…

I just double checked, and I was right the first time – if you try to list something lower than the highest “Buy Order” listing, the sale price defaults to that price. So even if you tried to list it for 3s, it would have “sold instantly” at the highest buy order price, which is around 40s.

Unfortunately it’s possible (only when you try to sell really fast apparently – otherwise it is not despite what others in my thread said) that they will actually sell for 3s each if you managed to list them as such.

I don’t think that’s true. If you list for 3s, then your items will sell to the person with the highest offer at the price you offer, i.e. 3s. (It’s the “punishment” without trial for people trying to evade the listing fees and sales taxes.)

No, that is how it works. Lots of people don’t seem to think it works that way, but if you actually… try it, you will see that it does. Try to list a BL chest for 3 copper and see what happens.

Unless you sell quickly before the TP has loaded anyway, apparently.

Ah, you’re right. I just tried it. That’s a big change from TP 1.0. (I tried to sell a masterwork dye for 1s; it didn’t let me sell it for under the lowest buy offer. With nothing in the bank, I ended up with 6s+ instead of < 1s net profit.)

Thanks.

No worries, the thread I linked was my own thread with many others suggesting the same (including JS) but I don’t think any of them have actually tried it, because it doesn’t work like that now.

It must still be doable though, as my thread and this thread suggests, but only before the TP has loaded properly.
