I followed this auction to the very end to make sure I wasn't outbid, and the auction page never showed me to be outbid. However I did recieve 3 bot notifications that I WAS outbid, yet still the auction page showed me as the highest bidder. Either I didn't win, or the seller deleted the auction. Can someone at basil check out if there a a glitch in the notification system/auction page? Thanks... Sad day =(

Either you never reloaded, as others did every few seconds, to make sure they were never outbid. Either that or there was a major glitch.

Deeena said: "or reserve" I find reserve is mainly used as a safeguard to set a low price and get a bid war started on your item, with the whole 20 kradia users who use basil I don't think a bid war is very likely. Unfortunatley, it's a possibility. =( @above, when I'm on my computer and not my itouch I'll pm you a little image relevant to this, in the meantime, rest assured I hard-refreshed about every ten seconds as the clock wound down.

Its the sellers right to either cancel the auction early or place a reserve. So long as the auction doesnt show up as ended with you as the winner no one was "screwed" out of anything.

i wouldnt blame him for closing the auction chaos scrolls can sell for up to 200mil (i dont care if you think less but i sold 2 for 200mil each yesterday) since its a different world i think he was looking for a higher bidder

I contribute to the community alot, today I sold an 11 dex WG for 5m, a earring int scroll for 1.2m, and I regularly help out any meso-challenged lower levels. Is it wrong to be excited over getting a great deal on a chaos scroll to Resell? I guarantee you that you would do the same thing, and I was planning to pay the guy over the bid, because I hate to see people get ripped off like that. Don't go calling me greedy just because I was excited to make some more money.
