How is listing lots of items with low buy outs abuse? I’d really like to know, because one of my ideas to chase the Best Auctioneer E-Peen is to list lots and lots of Books are really, really low prices. They have low resale value, so no one in their right mind would buy them for Ppwn Shoppe reselling, so most of my customers would be Unique players.

The problem was known as leaderboard manipulating. Only a few dozen players bought his thousands of items. That was why Evil Trout changed it to count only unique buyers/sellers.
