Something listed at 7 copper can be instantly put to 20g. It's not just A bid button and then you are done...remember you can enter a set amount down at the bottom before you hit bid.<br /><br />The useful case for this is when there's an item worth 100g but the bid is 2g...you can put 30g in that bid box and check back on the auction before it expires. I think it's worth doing because you will get rid of some potential competition for that item.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-91994484102161458202011-02-21T10:50:23.935-06:002011-02-21T10:50:23.935-06:00When I read Robbie's question, it sounds like ...When I read Robbie's question, it sounds like the issue is the timesink involved with this entire process. As Copra said, bidding on any auction that doesn't have a duration of short (except just prior to maintenance) is virtually guaranteed to put you back at the mailbox waiting for a refresh to grab all your outbid mail.<br /><br />Might be worth picking your battles here.<br /><br />@Kammler - wouldn't that be about 800g/day if he's grabbing ~100 uncut gems at 1g/each?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-45467190687966917812011-02-21T10:19:20.017-06:002011-02-21T10:19:20.017-06:00If you're using the vendor function, then sort...If you're using the vendor function, then sort by time left and concentrate on the shortest auctions. Stop when you get to your threshold of "this is too much mail." If you're using snatch lists, I don't recommend duplicating because it's fairly easy to just check or uncheck "allow bids" and focus on immediate or longer term searches depending on how much clicking/mail opening you're willing to do.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09662334724701134837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-32640811614940975312011-02-21T09:59:57.458-06:002011-02-21T09:59:57.458-06:00My suggestions were taken by others.

Nev's tip works for me, and Copra's tip is something I do daily--for all auctions, not just gems. <br /><br />The bigger question to me might be to ask Robbie if he has been able to find other ways to earn gold? The vendor resale option seems low risk but also very low reward. <br /><br />There are many tips on your site and others that give low risk and higher reward than 50s per gem on vendor searches. Even at the 100 or so he is doing per day that is only 50g profit.Kammlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052373093776001210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-71144822508172164812011-02-21T06:26:57.777-06:002011-02-21T06:26:57.777-06:00Set up the "TimeLeft" filter in auctione...Set up the "TimeLeft" filter in auctioneer.

Then run that snatch search & use the buy/bid all option? You still have to click yes for each one but it's alot easier than 2 or 3 clicks per bid.Nevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10570175016961442358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-32220104987962025622011-02-21T03:18:45.058-06:002011-02-21T03:18:45.058-06:00Bidding is worth on the last 30 minutes, unless yo...Bidding is worth on the last 30 minutes, unless you want to live in anxiety if your bid goes through, really.
