Well either (i) someone buys it and vindicates the price set by sammy or (ii) everyone decides it is too expensive and sammy wastes some PED on auction fee.

Ok. But that answers the question of what happens if that pair of Phantom feet sell.

My question is, can someone help me understand the starting bid on this pair of Phantom footies?

Free market doesnt force Sellers (or Buyers) to be smart

It was smart when the item gets sold.

My opinion - an innocent rich sammy was turned over several times in his early eu career by unscrupulous people willing to take his cash, the worm has now turned, and he is now desperately trying to do the same to todays innocent unknowing rich nubs.

I could have got the whole sorry sammy saga completely wrong, but thats how it seems to me.

MA should delete the stupid market value history

I see no problem with that screen... Is the way EU works. You can use bear, boar, gremlin, or pay a crafter for its knowledge. If you don't pay a crafter for its knowledge, a smart trader will buy all the items from crafter and you will pay a trader for that knowledge of the game. Was always like that and will never change.

From game perspective... those are items no gamer really needs. Gremlin or bear work great with phantom. If you want phantom just because it looks cool, go and pay the price. Is cheap for some extra personality and a bit of style...


Is nothing you need in this game except the knowledge of using what you have. All the rest cost markup you (don't) have to pay.

I agree 100%. However, I still don't understand the strategy behind listing an item for a starting bid that is greater than any previous sale price.
