[Thug Life]

one more good post from you elite thx, +rep

[EyeContact]

Excellent post, +rep

Now someone just needs to add a link to this post in all the auctions who do not follow these "rules"

[edit]You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to e-lite again. You post too many good posts man [/edit]

But another thing many ppl forget is to write if it is Male/Female versions of Armour/Clothing.

Hehe I tried to cover it all.

I just wanna post in this thread to bump it, and hope that auctions on EF improve alot. Latley there has been a few more nightmare examples.

I like this guide, and I think it should be a sticky thread in the auction forums here. Otherwise it will not be useful, because it is already disappearing beneath the other threads...

In the last week I realised that nothing has changed, still most auctions are a mess, so I hope that maybe this guide will become a part of the forum rules, I pesonally think this is necessary.

There was a few days ago already a thread about how auctions here at the forum can be improved and it had further suggestions which I really liked:

Rules for selling or buying items

Maybe this could also be a part of further rules, I would support it a lot!

Well yes, If people think this post is good and useful it should be sticky. But thats for MindBuster to decide. I don't know if he saw the thread. If you think it's worth it then perhaps you could PM him and ask for it to be sticky.

Yes that is true, I will add that. It wasn't when the article was written

I'd like to bump this thread, because I am getting angry about another thing related to auctions...

If you host an auction, you also should take care about that it finishes properly. In more than half of the auctions I bid, the responsible person never showed up again. This cannot be normal practice!
