If you want to use your time to sell lower level stuff then go for it. I only pick up 61+ weapons and armor, 60+ jewelry, tomes and flawless square gems, and all legendary/set items. Some people even cut out tomes and gems, which I am also considering atm. | ||

Or do you know all names by experience :D? If you press CTRL when you hover an item on the ground you can see the stats of the item. | ||

This is so goddamn dumb. When you bid with a minute remaining every new bid should add atleast a minute to the timer. | ||

When you bid with a minute remaining every new bid should add atleast a minute to the timer. The bidding system is broken, because someone else was prepared to pay more for the item than you were and you did a crappy job of sniping? If you're unhappy you didn't win the item it's because you entered a value that was LESS than what you thought the item was really worth. Just actually bid the max amount you would be prepared to pay, and then if you are outbid it means the item has reached a price you thought was too expensive anyway. If it goes for cheaper, you get the price difference. Easy. Sniping only works because people don't enter the real values they are prepared to pay as their max bid. | ||

When you bid with a minute remaining every new bid should add atleast a minute to the timer. You just didn't play/understand it well. The result of your search stays in cache if you don't changes search parameters. Next time, increase the value of 1 and search every second until you see the number of minutes left changes in the last 5 min. Then you can start the timer of your phone or something to be exactly sure when it ends so you can place your bid in the last 5 seconds. Bid system is working good. Learn and understand before you complain, it makes you look better when you have an informed opinion/feedback when you bash something. | ||

This will save time of ppl bid sniping and put the price they actually want to pay. But bid snipers don't change this at all - sniping simply exploits the people that are too stupid to put the actual amount they were prepared to pay for the item in the 'max bid' box. Just put the price you actually want to pay in the box, and you can't be sniped by definition. | ||

Über sword of awesome: 547,888 current bid, 50,000,000 buyout. 3 people think the item is worth a good amount and waiting I snipe with 2 seconds left. 2.01 seconds left: Player 1: 5,000,000 bid 2.00 seconds left: Player 2: 4,000,000 bid 1.5 seconds left: Player 3: 5,000,321 bid So P3 wins right? nope. P1 does, because the minimum bid after P1's bid is higher than P3's bid, thus P3's bid "fails" and P2 and P3 are wondering why their multi million gold snipe failed. Tl;dr: Forget sniping and bid your max amount anytime you see an item you want so the seller can't cancel and make someone spend more than you think it's worth. Bidding wars make emotions part of the equation and the item will be worth less in a week anyways. | ||

Bidding wars make emotions part of the equation and the item will be worth less in a week anyways. Or, player 3 could have just bid 5,000,321 a day before the auction was about to end, and it would STILL display ~575k current bid. Player 1 and 2 who try to snipe at 2 seconds left would not win, they'd only push the minimum bid up. Player 3 would win the item paying around ~4.8 mil. Why don't people understand that the system will AUTOMATICALLY BID FOR YOU if you post a higher max bid? | ||

Sure, you just post your max bid after you know you won't need that gold until the bid ends. If the bid ends at say, 6am, just post your max bid then go to sleep. If it ends in an hour, post your max bid and start another farming session, etc. There's no reason to furiously refresh and bid under 5 min left, which is what the people above are saying by increasing the auction duration by 1 min or to 5 min every time a new bid goes in. Doing that would actually be *worse*: people tend to overbid their max when they see they aren't winning an item. Nothing but impulse buying, and it just makes those who do it poorer, and increasing auction length only caters to this pattern. | ||

Imagine someone harrasses you by bidding several billions on your item, so instead of getting 2 million now, you get 999.999.999 Gold two days later. I'm shuddering even to contemplate such horror. | ||
