Hmm sadly, Upon further looking into the price of masterballs, it is Log in to see images!415848 if you have 51 frug, or if you even have 1 frug.
Frug. seems to be broken when it comes to the ppwn shop Log in to see images!
Well anyway, setting them 3 days max so if you happen to miss them today. |

Frug10 is the max needed for Ppwn Shoppe purchases.
Perfect timing as well. |

Yup, I saw that. I’m thinking of buying up a bunch and using them as prizes for Contests and such. |

Eve, you do realize that you’re making a loss, right? Also, in case you’re being altruistic, the fatcats can easily buyout all of your auctions rather than visiting the ppwn shop, so… all I’m saying is, you can’t break the masterball monopoly so easily.
Anyway, serious kudos to you for trying to help out some newfabulous persons! ▲ ▲▲ |

So hypothetically speaking, how long would I have to wait for them to be selling for absurd sums of money again? |

Considering how many people spent their entire fwz savings on them buying as many as they could, they will probably stay near buying price if anyone even buys them at all for a while. and it may not be another month before they show up in the ppwn shop again like last it was before this. |

How? Is there a way to transfer items without committing Kyoubai abuse? |

I don’t think what I had planned would be considered ‘abuse’. Listing a Master Ball (or five) for the minimum buyout price as a general reward for a Trivia Contest, for example, and TMing the Auction URL directly to the winner so that they can snipe the Auction as soon as it’s active.

That sounds a lot like abusing the Kyoubai rules so that you can run a contest and have someone pay you for the prize. Using Kyoubai as anything but a legitimate way to auction off items to the highest bidder would be abuse. Am I wrong here? |

Pay me for the prize? I’d give it away if I could, just for the fun of it. I think you’re misunderstanding the point. |

If not direct abuse, you are going to be inflating your auctioneer score, which is abuse if you have a contest that helps you out. |

Like this one. http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/36802-help-i-ve-lost-my-marbles Is this abuse of what is supposed to be a legitimate auction house? I’m honestly not sure here, so I’m asking. |

Considering that the MBs would be coming from various alts, including one that’s already got the Peen in the first place, I think you’re being paranoid.
And perhaps ‘contest’ wasn’t the best choice of words. It would easily be an event in Kyoubai, not the Contest forum. There would be NO BP involved whatsoever. |

Publicly keeping track of which people you’ve made purchases from, and making it a ‘theme thread’? I don’t see why that would be an issue, especially since multiple people have been doing it for months. http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/24529-buying-a-lot-of-zomg-im-so-fat-xpeg http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/33241-buying-magic-mushrooms
No one has reported any of these threads for abuse (and one of them has been around for 4-and-a-half months), so it would seem that the community at large has no problem with the concept of advertising an intent to make a purchase. Add in a ‘public record’ of purchases, and while it’s obvious that it’s an attempt to chase the Bidder Peen, I don’t see anything nefarious going on. Some players simply keep track of their purchases privately, and Buyout any item listed by a ‘new auctioneer’ that they see. Sergeant Cid edited this message on 06/06/2009 10:22PM |

OK, I’ve been wondering if these were condoned by CZ since I started seeing them. I have nothing against them, it’s a quick way to earn the peen if your full of felzz. |

I don’t think there’s an official stance one way or another. I think so long as you aren’t giving anyone any BP as any kind of incentive to buy from you in particular, and so long as you aren’t simply using the auction house to move Flezz between alts, then other ads & promotions are okay. None of the Peen Chaser threads do any of the above.
Of course, if anyone has any new ideas that may be in the gray area, contacting a Mod is the best way to go. Even I discuss my ideas with the Mod Squad before implementing them. One in particular was a bit too grey area, so to speak, so I decided not to go forward on it, even though it essentially was giving away free flezz to Newbies, to help them get started in the game. I’d rather give out donations to help people get jump-started than hoard my Flezz or simply wait for the next ‘Unique Item’ and hope that the five people ahead of me on the Flezz Board decide not to buy it. |
