Guild Wars 2

Be careful about putting anything too valuable on the TP. My friend put a legendary (Sunrise) up on a Sell order then decided to cancel it to sell it at another price only to have it disappear completely and when he contact Anet they said that they cannot track any of the trading post transactions at all and said he is just out of luck and won’t get his hard work back. Be warned.

Never heard about magical disappearing stuff from broker

Well it happens, Anet even said it happened, and that if it does happen, they can’t/won’t do anything about it.

I bet he just sold it much too cheap .. and only got what he sold it for and not the price of the highest buyer .. else you don’t even cancel a Legendary to change the price because you always loose 5% with that.

I’m not too sure, but there was no evidence that it sold, not money, wasn’t in the transactions or on any characters. Sadly since I do not have first person access to his account I cannot check and give a conclusive answer. (And according to Anet it shows that he never had it at all, not much him selling it)

I thought I had this once, until I realised that your most recent buy/sell can’t be collected until you ‘clear out’ trades before it. This is relevant if your placing b/o’s for blues and greens in the 100’s for MF.

If someone sells your say 1000 items and then you sell a Legendary, the former has to be collected first ‘then’ the gold for the legen’ will show up, like it’s in a queue.

It creates the illusion that you legendary has disappeared, but, of course, it hasn’t.
