Surpassingly Accurate halberd of Vanquishing

[Whippen]

Hello there. The title says it all, its a +10Tactics, +9Damage(Vanquishing), halberd. This is definitely a nice piece of hardware to have. I am selling it to serious players only. Please PM with serious inquiries. I would have done an auction for this item, yet, the last auction I attempted to do on this forum ended up getting high jacked by the super cool people on here who enjoy posting moronic bids in a weak attempt at humor. I never will understand that foolish and childish necessity to ruin someone else's honest auction just so one might garner a comedic response from their peers. Is it any wonder why the numbers seem to be dwindling lower and lower on clients logged in per day.

I could keep going on this absurd trend but really, I just want to sell this item to an honest player that will get some use from it. Please do not hijack this thread or bombard me with messages proclaiming how you are better than me or whatever other insults a few players out there keep throwing at me. Thank you for your time and I look forward to doing business with the few honest players left out there.

oops, meant to pm.

So.. I bid 13.37k on a scimitar and insisted I would pay you the gold and that you could keep the weapon. You turned me down twice and sold the weapon to someone else (after I rightfully won it). Now you're complaining about a lack of honest traders. I don't even.

[Grifty McGrift]

You only have 5 posts on the forums. How bad could it possibly be?

[Whippen]

You said you didn't want the weapon and insisted it was a joke bid Treysta. I try to keep this within the bounds of reason and actually wanted to do a real auction. I'm not complaining, I sold it to the gentleman that actually was legitimate in their bid, not some "funny bid," which you told me verbatim. Your words, not mine. With you posting here it just proves my point, which is why I wrote that. Hey Griffty, it's not that bad, I wrote that to prove a point. I believe my social experiment worked.

Hi there, looks like you won my auction for that sword at 13,370 gold. Let me know when you would like to meet up to do the exchange. Thank you so much!

--Whippen

haha i was just bidding for fun

you can keep the weapon ill give you the gold

was that you on irc? sorry i missed you

[19:17] <qwebirc13584> Hi, you there?

Naw, I didn't hop on irc yet. Well if you don't want the weapon then I'm not going to charge you anything. I kinda figured it was a joke because it said leet. I'm actually just not going to worry about doing auctions anymore, seems to me that this shard has no love for new players and instantly run them off with the whole cooler than you messages. I went into IRC the other day asking a simple question and the super kewl people just busted my balls. I never understood that high school mentality from adults, I suppose some people just peaked during that portion of their lives. Anyways, take care of yourself and thanks for your time.

--Whippen

I bid on the auction and will gladly honor the bid. Don't let one or two retards ruin it for you.

Its all good. I sold it to the first bidder, happy gilmore. I've done business with him before so I was happy to sell it to him. He enjoys helping out us newer players as I will do my best to help out other players new to the shard. Gotta keep the cycle going else it will just be a boring place to play a game. Anyways, not worried about your bid, you didn't want the sword so we will leave it at that. Take care and thank you for your time.

You forfeit your claim to having "won it," when you said verbatim that it was a joke bid, you were just "having fun." Why would I take your money if you are not going to take the weapon, that is NOT how business is conducted in any platform except perhaps drug exchanges. I turned you down twice because you aren't a legitimate bidder, you disrespected me and my auction and its fine.

I play this game differently than you do. To go on the forums and try to paint me as some sort of hypocrite is wrong when the truth of the matter is that YOU are the hypocrite, YOU are the one who likes to bid "jokingly," where some of us actually want to have fun selling weapons and items. You must be a woman, I don't know any guys that would go on the boards and blatantly tell fabrications of the actual story. I'll leave you alone from here on out, please don't post in any of my threads nor send me any messages. Have a great existence and thank you for your time.

tl;dr - I won an auction, guy refused to sell to me, guy has an emotional breakdown.

Wasn't an emotional breakdown, just stating facts. You just go around disrespecting people in the hopes of getting a laugh. Nothing cool about that. I've sold both of the items I have posted so I guess I win. You posting our private messages just proves the type of person you truly are. I said I would leave you alone but you want to keep going at it. That being said you should take a good look at yourself there Treysta, stop trolling and placing "funny bids." Nobody is going to want to do business with a person like you, you come off as unstable. See me, I use words to articulate my feelings and beliefs, you just troll. In the end I have sold what I have wanted to sell to honest merchants, I go on with my life outside of pixels and I just have a great day in general. Can we say the same for you?

[Treysta]

• Nobody disrespected you.
• Posting PMs is normal procedure when someone misuses the word "verbatim".
• I do business with almost the entire shard.
• Welcome to UOSA.

Is there any way to just delete this thread? I'm reading it again and its just going to go on and on between Treysta and myself to no avail. I am going to just chalk it up to a massive misunderstanding and move on from there.

Treysta, I apologize for my harsh words and any negative feelings I have caused you to feel. It was not my intention at all. I would like to just move forward and occasionally post items of interest I come across that other player might find useful and would like to purchase. You win, you are the best, you can quote me on that. I am nothing but an insignificant new player who has stumbled upon this shard to enjoy some of that awesome 1999 feeling from way back in the day. Thank you for your time and if I come across any other vanquishing hallys I now have a list of people whom I can contact aside from just making a general post. Thank you for your time, once again I need to reiterate that Treysta is the best and I am the worst. Thank you. I'm going to walk around the big city of Atlanta and reflect on how much of a jerk I have been online. I hope the millions of ATLiens will forgive me.

[Treysta]

No apology necessary; you haven't made me feel negative at all. Other than the time you refused to sell me a weapon I won an auction for. That was pretty BM.

[Whippen]

You said you were bidding just for fun and weren't interested at all in the weapon. You offered to give me the gold for nothing. That is not how business is conducted in my book, what am I some charity case?

[Treysta]

I would have taken the sword and vendored it if I knew it would have made you less emotional.

[Whippen]

Do you just go out of your way to hand money to random strangers on the side of the road in real life? I know its just pixels to you but what I find fun about this game is the actual salesmanship of goods. You would never just give some random guy at the street corner 50 dollars. That is the whole point of my whole argument. Now I know what I am dealing with. Just answer me this one question. Are you a woman? I have a 40 dollar bet with a buddy on this one, please be honest.
