I saw this post a while back, and thought, interesting idea...why not? I don't sweat myself, but know of friends that do....this will help.

However, after thinking about it, and seeing the volume of "sweaters" skyrocket (Nea's, IMO, has been flooded), if they make it into auction, the sheer volume of sweat will drop the price considerably. Just my thoughts, I may be wrong.

I appriciate your right to your opinion , but this thread was formed to collect names for the petition , not to debate the positive and negative ramifications of selling sweat in the auction.

I am including a link to the discussion thread on this issue.

Sweat at auction

You never +rep'd my post: http://www.entropiaforum.com/forums/...8-post164.html -- which added me as #120 to your petition.

Not that I'm "begging" mind you, but if you are in the +repping mood...

By the way, I agree that not all things should be sold in auction, but I think it should be possible to do so and be a matter of choice. There are valid exceptions, and I approve of MA's change to prevent the auction of TT items. There is a downside, but it's minor compared to the upside.

I think the poster that referred to manual shopping was referring to the social aspects, and I agree, but I wanted to post more on the technical merits of having a choice:

Some times, I prefer to visit the stores and 'streets, talk to the sellers, etc., to get a real feel for the market -- is the item selling higher on the street, shop, or auction -- is it selling at all, etc... Since I rarely buy some things, I consider the potential savings as an alternative cost to my "play time". If I could potentially save 10 PED, how much time is it worth to look for that savings, in other words. Basically, the auction is "the quick place to look" and for many items will cost you more, so it's the opportunity cost that determines if that's the only place you look.
