My point is that they had more info than anyone else had.

And our point is that, in this case, any extra information they did or did not have doesn’t matter, because there was enough information for everyone to react in the same way. They gained no benefit from any extra information they may have had.

The mods have access to everyone’s alts, but that doesn’t mean they should pretend not to know that people with public alts might not be the same people. If the information is public, they can act on it just as much as everyone else. Just because no one said ‘We are going to remove Dragon balls and Master Balls from all stores’ in a dedicated ‘Upcoming Changes’ thread doesn’t mean it wasn’t public that something was going to happen.

And just to drive the point home:

No, I did not.

i am going to strive to win this for the minimum bod Log in to see images!

Just FYI: There is a reserve on the item, so it won’t sell for the intial minimum bid. You’d definitely have to get it into the low-to-mid 6 figures to hit the minimum reserve.

I knew that itembuildr items wouldn’t be in the store forever and bought accordingly. Log in to see images!

fffffffffff, meant to buy it on my alt

New one relisted at that price, man. TM me if you want to sell back the MB that you accidentally bought.

well I guess you can wait till they show up in ppwn shop >.>

Yup, that’s always an option. Unless someone has more Flezz than they really need and don’t feel like waiting for a random drop that may or may not ever appear.

But then again… has the Wireless Headset ever dropped in the Ppwn Shoppe?

Hmmm….

My bumumption was that since the Balls were created from a mixture of the Headset and another item that it might still be tagged in some way like the Headsets, as far as how they appear in shops. I honestly have no idea if they can/will show up in the Ppwn Shoppe.

So basically, congratulations to ET for giving an observent player the ability to quintuple the flezz they invested in Master Balls, or more. This is just plain ****ed up, and the fact a moderator doesn’t see a problem with it just makes it worse. Did you even consider running your plan by ET first?

What plan? To resell items I purchased, and make a profit? I’ve never seen the need to check with ET on any other Auctions (except for one, a long time ago), so why is this any different?

Because the items are no longer available to every single player? What makes this any different than the Limited Edition E-Peen Falcon Plaque?

I didn’t create the limited supply. I had no foreknowledge that it was going to happen, only the guess, based on public info. I took a risk, and it paid off. If the Master Balls had been put into a public shop & repriced downward, then I’d have made a bad choice to invest so much in them.

Acid, you’re just contributing towards proving this games economy is a ****ing joke. What you’ve done here discourages other players from taking part. Because why bother if they have to put in magnitudes more effort, to make the same amount of flezz?

You do realize that I’m not anywhere near the top of the Flezz Leaderboard, right?

And this actually proves that the economy is viable. The more rare an item is, the more it’s going to cost.

I didn’t create the rarity; I’m simply capitalizing on it.

I despair at ETs ineptitude, and the corrupt mods and incompetent advisers that surround him.

Hmm, now this is definitely borderline trolling. If you have a constructive criticism, please submit it properly.

As far as calling me ‘corrupt’, I’d like you to prove that. Seeing an potential business opportunity, and choosing to make a significant investment risk and hope it pays off, and then benefiting from that gamble, isn’t corruption.

Corruption would be if I looked at other merchants inventories and banned my competition for no reason other than to eliminate them.

I’m simply running a business, and doing so in a fair & honest manner.
